After breakfast the group rushed to the
Kasepuhan Palace. The palace was celebrat
ing the Prophet Mohammed’s Maul. There
were lots of visitors and vendors surrounding
the palace. To reach the court of the palace,
built in 1529 by Mas Mochammad Arifin II the
great grandchild of Sunan Gunung Jati, we
had to pass the some vendors. They were
there during the festivity. These vendors sold
varieties of snacks such as giant onde-onde
three times the regular size. Some vendors
sold home appliances. In fact, there were
also fortune teller and charm seller among
the vendors.
After we purchased the entrance tickets, a
guide fluently explained every corner of the
palace. We started at the well maintained
main gate to the utmost part of the palace
where the king’s throne located. On the
steps to the throne there where ornaments
and ceramics decorated with pictures taken
from the Bible story.
From the main hall we were taken to the
weapon storage. They store weaponry such
as Keris in that place. And then the guide led
us to the golden chariot. It has a unique shape,
the front part resembles a dragon where as
the back part has the shape of a horse.
The chariot is made of black wooden steel.
It was designed by one of the prince before
the Dutch conquered the country. The great
thing about the chariot is its advance techno
g
lo y. It uses rocking suspension and power
steering. In the old days chariots are pulled
by buffalo, on bumpy roads the spring will
rock and the tongue of fire come in and out
of the dragon’s mouth. The chariot has a
pair of wings on the left and right that move
constantly as if they flap. Interestingly, It has
been the target of chariot collectors around
the world.
