Mahesa Lawung


It is a traditional rite of Kasunanan Palace to ask for safety and to anticipate anything bad to happen. The participants depart from Gondorasan to Bangsal Sewayana of Kasunanan Palace before they are headed for Krendhawahana forest in Gondangrejo (14 km north way from Solo). The forest is a sacred place. It was a meditation place of the ancestors from Mataram Palace. Offered in this procession are a buffalo head and its complements.
