The huge pendopo
(audience hall) is claimed to be the largest one in Indonesia. It has the ceiling painted
with eight mystical Javanese colours and zodiac signs. The building was made of teakwood
and there are a number of European chandeliers. The floor was laid with Italian marbles,
where they put two sets of Gamelan (traditional Javanese percussion), and regularly show
the classical dance and music rehersals. Looked
after in the palace are a well-maintained collection of 14th century jewelry, outstanding
silverworks, lovely classical dancing body ornaments, traditional Javanese weapons, and a
matchless masks from different regions of Java.
