- Leather Shadow Puppet Performance
The Wayang Kulit (leather puppet) theater is a magnificent artwork of Javanese art, which as of 2010 has received acknowledgment from UNESCO as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity from Indonesia. A dalang (wayang player) plays puppet made from buffalo’s leather behind a white screen. Hence, the audience can only see the shadow, hence the name “wayang” –which means ‘shadow’. Witness the dynamic movement of the dalang’s hands at playing, voicing over, joking and even singing the different roles of wayang.

Sekaten (Festival)
Sekaten is the commemoration of Prophet Muhammad SAW date of birth in Javanese touch. This assimilation of traditions was once used by Sultan Hemengku Buwono I, the founder of Yogyakarta Palace, to invite people to convert to Islam.
The most interesting part of this tradition is the Gunungan – literally a mountain made of glutinous rice, food, and fruits and vegetables – which are carried in the procession from the palace to the Great Mosque. This Gunungan is considered sacred and worth fighting for. Attendees will literally fight for any part of the Gunungan to take home, because it is their belief that when they plant that taken part at home, they will be granted much virtue and avoided of all kinds of misfortunes.
This event annually held in North Square of Yogyakarta Palace (Alun-alun Utara Keraton Yogyakarta),
on the Maulud month in Javanese Calendar
