Imogiri Cemetery

Imogiri Cemetery, royal cemetery in Java

Imogiri Cemetery is a royal burial ground on a hill near Yogyakarta, Indonesia, where members of the Mataram royal family rest. The complex contains several sections with tombs of sultans, princes, and relatives, connected by pathways and stone steps that lead to the summit.

Construction of Astana Pajimatan Himagiri began in 1632 on Merak hill, ordered by Sultan Agung (r. 1613–1645) and led by Kiai Tumenggung Citrokusumo in a blend of Javanese and Hindu styles. Sultan Agung, who died in 1646, was the first king buried here. After the 1755 Treaty of Giyanti split Mataram, the west side became the burial ground of Surakarta's kings and the east side that of Yogyakarta's.

The name Astana Pajimatan Himagiri combines Sanskrit sthāna (place) and Javanese pajimatan (consecration) with hima-giri, "misty mountain". The site belongs to the Javanese pilgrimage tradition to ancestral graves, and abdi dalem caretakers appointed by the courts of Surakarta and Yogyakarta watch over it jointly.

Visitors must climb stone steps to reach the cemetery, so comfortable walking shoes are essential for the steep ascent. Registration at the entrance is required, and traditional dress must be worn to enter the tomb areas.

Tumenggung Endranata, executed for treason, is buried in three separate places on the site: along the 409 steps, near the Gapura Supit Urang gate, and by the pool to its right. Historian de Graaf links his death to the widow of Adipati Pragola II, who told Sultan Agung he had incited that rebellion.
