Garebeg Sawal: The Receipt of Gunungan, to be held on March 20, 2026, at the Yogyakarta Palace, is a sacred procession involving the distribution of gunungan as a form of royal alms. During this event, the majestic offering mounds are escorted from the palace to several key locations—the Gedhe Kauman Mosque, the Kepatihan office, and the Pura Pakualaman—to be shared with the general public. This tradition serves as a symbol of generosity and gratitude, where citizens gather with great enthusiasm to receive a portion of the offerings, which are believed to bring blessings and prosperity to those who receive them.
