KERATON HORSE CARRIAGE MUSEUM - YOGYAKARTA
KERATON HORSE CARRIAGE MUSEUM
caption :entrance of museum
The
Dutch Influence In The Palace
Where did you know about a horse
carriage? I believe, for most people probably more familiar with television
cartoons like Cinderella, Ben Hur and from other Hollywood movies. But have you
ever seen it directly, in Indonesia. This is the Keraton horse carriage museum,
where the Dutch colonial era adorned the history of the Sultan of Yogyakarta
since almost three centuries ago. These horse carriage are like Ferraris in the
present day, so exalted that they are only used by the rich people only. Is very
exclusive.
Yogyakarta Horse Carriage Museum is
located on Jl. Rotowijayan Yogyakarta, or west of Yogyakarta Palace building.
Museum which was established since the throne of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono VI
have a various collections of horse carriage belonging to the Sultan of
Yogyakarta. In ancient times these horse carriage were the vehicles of the Sultans
for various purposes and important events organized by the Yogyakarta Palace.
Almost noon I visited this historic
place. This building has a very strong Dutch character,
solid concrete, high ceiling roof, and sunlight peering from the window gives
the impression of ancient. I was greeted by some gentlemen, they were old but
has friendly face. That afternoon
visitors are pretty much especially those who come with family and children.
Mr. Soklin, my guide that afternoon, took me around while giving a brief
explanation of the history and uniqueness of each horse carriage. This museum
has a variety of horse carriages that reach hundreds of years old. Mondro
Juwolo Train (1800) for example, is a horse carriage ever ridden by Prince
Diponegoro, Indonesia national hero. Of the 23 collection of horse carriages,
18 trains are still used for the purposes of palace greatness ceremonies, while
the other 5 trains are not being used because of the condition is old and
fragile.
HORSE CARRIAGE WITH
THEIR ORIGIN
The colonial influence was deeply felt in the design of the horse carriage. I can clearly see some of the horse carriages that are European making factories. Mr. Soklin showed me a seal inserted with spijker AMSTERDAM in the Landower Ngabean (1901). Mr. Soklin tells, a foreign tourist said that spijker is a Dutch manufacturer that now produces Land Rover cars. There are also seals M.L.Hermans & Co, Den Haag, Netherlands. This seal is imprinted on the Kyai Jongwiyat train (1880). Seal of Queen Wilhelmina, was on Garuda Yeksa (1861). This train appears dashing itself with dragon ornaments and masculine chocolate paint. Around this train ornament is coated 18 carat gold weighing 20 kilograms. Local made trains are also in this museum. It is the Premili (1925) made by G.Barends - Semarang but its parts are mostly imported directly from the Netherlands. This train is specifically boarded by royal dancers.
The Kanjeng Nyai Jimad horse carriages
is the oldest one. This horse carriages is older than the age of Yogyakarta
Palace. This horse carriages is also named based on Javanese belief spirit. The
uniqueness also is, this horse carriages begins Nyai, not Kyai. Indicates
that the naming of this horse carriages is based on the virtues of women. Nyai in Javanese, signifies women
gender. Showing in the past that woman has a significant influence to the
palace. The horse carriages is powered by eight horses and used during the reign
of Sultan Hamengkubuwono I-III. This horse carriages was a gift from the Dutch
government, by Governor Jacob Mossel (1750-1761). This horse carriage is no
longer used and only a historical object.
The youngest horse carriages was the Kyai Rotopralaya. It was unknown year of manufacture but was purchased in Yogyakarta in 1938. This is a hearse carriage that was used to transport the bodies of Sultan Hamengkubuwono to IV in 1988. The uniqueness of this train, in addition to its largest size, is also decorated with little angel ornaments with so called cupid on Greek mythology. Mr. Soklin who had a strong Javanese accent actually gave me an explanation in English, "it's cupid ornament sir" so call it. Interesting and makes me wonder if this is a blend of eastern and western cultures.
In addition, in this museum we can see various photo documentation of Sultan activities that use the horse carriage as a transportation vehicle. We can also see a variety of riders equipment wich is strongly European style such as clothes, helmets, shoes, sticks and various other riding devices. All stored neatly in a large closet.
THE HORSE CARRIAGE MAINTENANCE
As a valuable object that has belonged
to Sultan for several generations, the horse carriage
are bathed and "fed" in the
form of offerings. This ritual is called Jamasan,
which always falls on the first Tuesday or Friday Kliwon in Suro month (in
the Java calendar). The used water for cleaning is believed to be efficacious
and can cure various diseases. Therefore it is often contested of many people.
Special care is given to the Garuda Yeksa, especially in its gold coating. To
avoid eroding the gold, this horse carriage is cleaned up only when about to
used. It is believed that every time it is rubbed or cleaned up, it loses
around 6-7 grams of the gold.
Can you drive a horse carriage today? Of course it can be. In Malioboro Yogyakarta, horse carriages with local says delman can still be found everywhere. Delman is more concise and still used as a transportation, especially for tourism. Of course not as fancy as a horse carriage but can be used to traveling around Malioboro, including to the horse carriage museum.

D'JUNAS VILLA - UBUD
D’JUNAS VILLA
Jln. Bisma – UBUD
Halo gaesss... gw mau review salah satu villa di jalan Bisma-Ubud. Gw nginap di villa ini pas lagi masa pandemic covid-19 di bulan Oktober 2020, jadi sudah pasti dapat harga miring, orang-orang bilang harga korona, hehehe…
Okay langsung aja, harga sewa villa ini 800.000 IDR/night. Lumayan kan… Fasilitasnya, total terdapat 4 kamar (yang kami pakai saat itu hanya 3 kamar), masing-masing kamar diisi king size bed, kamar mandi, sofa, kulkas, AC, shower water heater. Model kamarnya pisah-pisah dengan format 1 kamar di atas, dua kamar di samping kanan dan kiri dari private swimming pool. Jadi ketiga kamar tersebut sama-sama punya akses langsung ke private swimming pool. Nuansa villa sangat asri, penuh dengan pepohonan rindang, pemandangan hijau menyejukan pandangan mata. Disini juga disediakan dapur yang menurut saya cukup luas untuk memasak. Dapurnya lengkap, fasilitas dapur ini sangat berguna bagi yang ingin memasak sendiri. Gelas, piring makan, sendok, garpu, kulkas 2 pintu, wastafel dan ruangan yang lumayan besar. Kolam renangnya juga dipartisi untuk dewasa dan anak-anak. Jadi villa ini sebenarnya cocok sekali untuk dipakai buat liburan keluarga. Untuk 1 unit villa seperti ini, saat kami tempati, cukup untuk 7 orang. Kalau buat beramai-ramai, rasanya bisa muat sampai 12 orang.
Nah, susahnya di akses masuk untuk yang bawa mobil. Motor bisa dibawa di parkiran dalam, akan tetapi untuk yang membawa mobil, parkirnya lumayan jauh dan terpisah dari area villa. Sepertinya pihak pengelola villa harus memikirkan bagaimana untuk menyediakan lahan parkir.
Breakfast tidak dapat, karena saat itu paket yang kami pilih memang tanpa breakfast. Jika mau cari makan, cukup keluar ke jalan utama dan kalian akan dengan mudah menemukan banyak café, resto dan warung makan di sepanjang jalan Bisma.
Overall villa ini nyaman dan menyenangkan untuk staycation di masa pandemi covid-19. Recommended buat mereka yang datang berombongan atau keluarga besar.
Berikut ini foto-foto area villa :
