Description

Throughout places of cultural significance in Hawai'i, you can find ahus. An ahu is a stone altar on which traditional leis, mostly handmade are placed to honor family, Hawaiian deities and the environment. An ahu is a place of gathering for Hawaiian people to chant, pule (pray), to bring the community together for common purpose and to keep traditions of the culture alive. This ahu is at the base of Pu'u Huluhulu on Saddle Road between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Pu'u (meaning hill) Huluhulu (meaning hairy) has its name as the pu'u is an isolated native forest with beautiful large koa and other native trees, surrounded by a sea of lava from eruptions of Mauna Loa. From a distance, the pu'u appears to be covered in 'hair'.
This ahu always has leis of many kinds drapped on it, many handmade according to family traditions.
