Kauman Great Mosque, Royal mosque in central Yogyakarta, Indonesia
The Grand Mosque features a three-tiered pyramidal roof topped with a mustaka ornament and stands on four main pillars within square walls.
Sultan Hamengku Buwono I commissioned the construction of this mosque in 1773, working with court architect Kyai Wiryokusumo and religious advisor Kyai Faqih Ibrahim.
The mosque includes designated spaces called Pagongan for gamelan orchestras during the annual Sekaten ceremonies celebrating Prophet Muhammad's birthday.
The building contains separate entrances on the east and north sides, with a specific pathway for the Sultan leading to a designated prayer area.
Forty-eight supporting columns line the interior prayer hall, while the exterior features a traditional semar tinandu gate structure built in 1840.
