Istana Jahar, Royal museum in Kota Bharu, Malaysia.
The wooden palace displays polished hardwood floors, ornate wall panels, and traditional Malay architectural elements throughout its two-story structure.
Sultan Muhammad II commissioned the construction of this palace in 1887 as a residence for his grandson Raja Bendahara Long Kundor.
The Museum of Royal Traditions and Customs houses traditional weapons, royal regalia, ceremonial costumes, and family genealogy charts of Kelantan rulers.
The museum opens from Saturday through Wednesday between 8:30 AM and 4:45 PM, with reduced hours on Thursday and closure on Friday.
The palace received its name from a jahar tree that grew on the grounds during its construction period.
