The Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Palace stopped the sound of gamelan and temporarily canceled the Srimanti Tourism Package stage as a form of condolences for the death of the King of the Surakarta Hadiningrat Kasunanan Palace Paku Buwono (PB) XIII.

"As an expression of condolences, the Yogyakarta Palace removed the Srimanti Tourism Package stage and did not sound the game until Paku Buwono XIII's Sinuhun was completed," said Penghageng II Kawedanan Purwa Aji Laksana Keraton Yogyakarta KRT Purwowinoto in a written statement quoted by Antara, Sunday, November 2 night.

Paku Buwono XIII died at the age of 77 at the Solobaru Hospital, Sukoharjo, Central Java, Sunday morning.

On Sunday afternoon, according to Purwowinoto, the Yogyakarta Palace received the Dalem Envoy from the Surakarta Hadiningrat Kasunanan Palace.

The presence of the envoy was to convey the official sad news through a written letter to the King of the Yogyakarta Palace Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X.

"The sign of Dalem was received by GKR Mangkubumi and GKR Bendara at Pendapa Ndalem Kilen, Yogyakarta Palace Complex," he said.

The King of the Surakarta Palace will be buried in the Astana Raja-king of Mataram Imogiri, Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Region on Wednesday 5 November.

Citing the official website of the DIY Culture Service, the Imogiri Tomb Complex or Pajimatan Imogiri is the burial of the kings and extended families of the Mataram Islam Dynasty.

The complex is divided into three large groups, namely the tomb group of the King-King of Mataram Islam, the tomb group of the King-King of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, and the tomb group of the King-King of the Archipelago of Surakarta.
