The rock terrain seen in Rahmah's background is also tied to cultural traditions in the area. For example, the big boulders with oval-shaped marks engraved on the surface are marriage proposal rocks. This is where a lover drew a line around his foot on the rock face next to his lover's footprint. If the two marks are encircled, their wish was granted and they married.

According to a local legend, if one throws a stone pebble and it stays on the top of the boulder, one's wish will come true.
