The floor was laid with Italian marble in 1925, and there are European chandeliers. On Wed. mornings the pusaka game/an is played, and dance rehearsals begin at 10 am on the main pendopo. This gamelan orchestra is one of the finest on Java and it's older than the palace itself; its name means 'Drifting in Smiles' Swallows dip and dive as the game/an plays. There's also a library of old Dutch books. In this palace you are allowed to go right inside the royal residence where glass cabinets hold relics from the Java-Hindu era, displays of 14th Century jewelry, dance costumes, a solid gold chastity belt, silver sate skewers, lovely Bedaya and Serimpi body ornaments, old portraits of haughty sultans, bridal beds, and a matchless collection of masks from different regions of Java and Madura. Perhaps you'll see the queen answer her telephone, or smile at you through her garden window (this means luck).
