Numplak Wajik, scheduled for May 24, 2026, at the Yogyakarta Palace, is a traditional ceremony marking the start of the gunungan (offering mounds) preparation specifically for the Eid al-Adha, or Garebeg Besar, celebrations. Performed according to sacred palace customs, this ritual serves as a symbolic prayer for the smooth and successful creation of the offerings. The rhythmic sound of the lesung (wooden mortars) during the ceremony not only creates a solemn atmosphere but also reflects the values of communal cooperation and the palace's readiness to prepare the King's alms for the people.
