Sekaten is a week-long Javanese traditional ceremony commemorating Prophet Muhammad\u2019s birthday. Raden Mas Sujana (Hamengkubuwono I), the founder of Hamengkubuwana, initiated the ceremony to promote the Islamic Faith to the public. The ceremony is held every year in Yogyakarta and Solo. Sacred Gamelan called Kyai Nogo Wilogo and Kyai Guntur Madu are played every day during the ceremony, traditional songs are sung in Tumplak Wajik, and Gunungan is carried by royal guards in a parade called Grebeg Muludan. Gunungan is a mountain made of sticky rice, sweets, fruits, and vegetables. It is picked, fought over, and ripped apart by the crowds gathered in the square following the parade. The objects that make up Gunungan are thought to be sacred, powerful, and bring good luck.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
