Mayor Respati Ardi and Deputy Mayor of Surakarta took part in the sacred Kirab Pusaka procession held to mark the Javanese New Year, 1 Sura 1959 Dal. The cultural and spiritual event was organized by both Pura Mangkunegaran and the Kasunanan Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace on the night of Thursday, June 26, 2025.

Kirab Pusaka, a tradition passed down for centuries since the times of Sultan Agung and Pakubuwono X, began with collective prayers followed by a solemn parade of royal heirlooms. The procession was led by the sacred albino buffalo “Kyai Slamet” in complete silence to honor the sanctity of the moment.

The Mangkunegaran procession began at 7:00 PM, taking a route through Ngarsopuro Corridor – Slamet Riyadi Street – Kartini Street – R.M. Said Street – Teuku Umar Street, and then returned to the palace. Meanwhile, the Kasunanan Palace procession started at midnight, taking a longer route: Supit Urang Street – North Square – Pakoe Boewono Street – General Sudirman – Mayor Kusmanto – Captain Mulyadi – Veteran – Yos Sudarso – Slamet Riyadi, then returned to the palace.

“Kirab Pusaka on 1 Suro Night is not merely a ritual. It is a space for introspection and a time to reflect on the collective journey we have taken over the past year. We are here to honor our ancestral heritage and strengthen the spirit of cultural solidarity in Surakarta,” said Mayor Respati Ardi.

The event symbolizes the connection between past (Atita), present (Atiki), and future (Anagata), while also serving as a prayer for protection, blessings, and guidance for the journey ahead.

Thousands of residents and visitors witnessed the procession. Around 5,000 participants joined the Kirab at the Kasunanan Palace, which continued into the early morning hours. This tradition carries hope and prayers not only for Surakarta but also for the entire archipelago.
