Central Java - The Surakarta City Government will coordinate with the Surakarta Hadiningrat Kasunanan Palace regarding the high rent rate for a number of parties.

"We will coordinate with the palace," said the Mayor of Surakarta in Solo, Monday, August 29.

He said that so far there has been no talk with the palace as a sekaten organizer. However, he confirmed that there would soon be a follow-up from the Surakarta City Government.

Previously, information leaflets circulated regarding the cost of renting a booth at the set. For the tariff imposed on the tenants, starting from Rp. 2.5 million-12 million. Regarding the tariff of up to tens of millions, he questioned it.

"If it's Rp. 12 million, it's expensive if it's only for now," he said.

Meanwhile, this time it was the first time it had been held after two years of vacuum due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, the meeting which was held to welcome the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad SAW will be held in the North Square of the Solo Palace during September 16-16 October 2022.

Deputy Pengageng Sasana Wilapa Keraton Kasunanan Surakarta Hadiningrat KP Dani Nur Adiningrat was reluctant to provide an explanation regarding the high cost of renting a full booth.

He only explained about the implementation of the sekaten which consisted of traditional ceremonies and the night market.

"For the night market, we third-party parties, if it's a traditional ceremony, we don't know anything," he said.
