The tomb of Demak kings became the sixth place visited by the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo in a series of matches he played with his wife, Siti Atikoh. According to Ganjar, apart from being a member of the mayors, the kings played a central role in implementing moderate community life procedures at that time.

Raden Patah, for example. Ganjar said the first King of Demak was a descendant of Campa. Although there are several histories that mention the Raden Patah lineage, all of them both refer to their origin from the opposite country.

"This means that there are no problems or disputes over race. Raden Patah is the perfect example for tolerance," said Ganjar, Sunday, March 19.

According to Ganjar, the collaboration between Raja and Walisongo is able to make the Demak Kingdom bigger and more developed. When Raden Patah fought for tolerance, the King then went on a more sectoral struggle.

"Patiunus kita tahu semua bagaimana dia sangat luar biasa dalam mengembangkan maritime. Sementara dari Sultan Trenggono kita bisa belajar banyak hal soal agraria," katanya.

According to Ganjar Pranowo, what makes the sectoral struggle more beautiful is the escort of Walisongo who struggles in social stability of society through moderate Islamic teachings, which respect each other.

"This means that he and he spread religion not only through Ngaji. But also to the government and various sectors," said Ganjar.

There are at least three Demak kings whose graves are in the Demak Grand Mosque complex. Starting from the first Demak King, Raden Patah, then Patiunus to Sultan Trenggono.

Before going to the graves of the Demak kings, Ganjar had previously made a pilgrimage to the graves of members of Walisongo who were in East Java. Starting from Sunan Ampel, Sunan Gresik, Sunan Giri, Sunan Drajat and Sunan Bonang.

After leaving the graves of the Demak kings, Ganjar Pranowo immediately went to the tomb of Sunan Kalijaga, which is not far from the Demak Grand Mosque, then to the tomb of Sunan Muria, who is the son of Sunan Kalijaga. After that, Ganjar will make a pilgrimage to Sunan Gunungjati's grave and end up looking at his parents' grave.
