Ramayana Ballet - Prambanan, Yogyakarta 

Ramayana from word "Rama"and "Ayana" that means a journey of Rama. The Ramayana Ballet story (compiled from Purawisata) : 

In Kendrayana forest, the King of Alengka RAHWANA ask Kalamaricha one of his soldiers to change himself into the Golden Deer and ask him to go to seduce RAMA, SINTA, and Laksmana. In other part of the same forest, RAMA - SINTA - Laksamana are enjoying the freshness of the bright weather by gathering flowers and watching beautiful animals living in the forest. Suddenly an animal with golden fur appears. SINTA is attracted and she wants to posses the animal. RAMA - SINTA - Laksmana try to catch it but the beautiful animal is very difficult to touch, then the Golden Deer runs away.

After RAMA leaves his wife, SINTA as if hears the sound of an injured man, she ask Laksamana to look for his brother but he refuses because he knows it's not Rama's voice, it's Golden Deer's that imitates the voice of RAMA. Since her order disobeyed, SINTA accuces Laksmana of wishing her after the death of RAMA. Hearing his Laksmana becomes very sad, he swears that he won't marry any woman in his whole life.

As a sign of his oath he cuts off his genital. SINTA is astonished and very sorry. Finally Laksmana goes to meet RAMA. Before he leaves his sister in-law alone, Laksmana makes a magical circle surrounding SINTA, nobody can go into the circle and he also tells her not to get out of the circle until the arrival of RAMA and Laksmana. Unexpectedly, RAHWANA comes down from the sky. He is very glad to notice SINTA without any guard. He wants to kidnap her as soon as possible and takes her to Alengka Kingdom.

Unfortunately he can't approach her because of the magical circle although he has exerted all of his super natural power. Then RAHWANA changes his appearance into a very old man who looks very thirsty and comes near SINTA. On seeing this, SINTA can't stand and then help the poor old man. Without realizing the danger, she stretches one of her arms out of the circle in order to give the old man something to drink. The old man who actually is RAHWANA takes SINTA's hand out of the circle quickly and takes her away. In the sky they meet Jatayu, the king of birds who wants to save the Princess Sinta but Jatayu is defeated and falls onto the ground. Before Jatayu dies, he tells RAMA that SINTA is kidnapped by RAHWANA.

On the way to Alengka, RAMA and Laksmana bump across with the white monkey HANOMAN, who is ordered by Sugriwa to find someone to help him to fight Subali in order to get Goa Kiskenda back.

RAMA doesn't mind and succeeds in killing Subali, and then he is crowned to be the king of monkey in Pancawati Kingdom. As a king, RAMA orders Hanoman to go to Alengka to see the condition of SINTA. In Alengka after giving RAMA's ring to SINTA, and as an answer SINTA sends her hairpin ornament to RAMA. HANOMAN wants to know the strength of RAHWANA's Kingdom, soon afterwards he destroys the Arga-Soka garden.

Knowing this, RAHWANA becomes very angry and commands his men to burn the white creature but HANOMAN doesn't die because of his super natural power, event he takes with him some burning woods and flies in the sky, then he drops them throughout the buildings. When the battle between RAMA's monkey soldiers and RAHWANA's giant soldiers takes place, Hindrajit asks Kumbakarna for help but he can't win the fight even is defeated by RAMA. Hindrajit wants to support his uncle unfortunately Laksmana is able to finish the fight. Hindrajit runs away reporting the situation to King RAHWANA in the palace. RAHWANA goes to fight Rama but at last he is defeated and killed.

HANOMAN fetches SINTA who is very happy to meet her beloved husband, however RAMA rejects her for he suspects about his wife's purity and he asks SINTA to have a holy bath by jumping into the burning fire. SINTA calmly jumps into the holy fire since in her mind she feels that she is totally pure.

The God of Fire Brahma comes down from the heaven and puts the fire out. He tells RAMA that SINTA is really pure. Both SINTA and RAMA pay attribute with their hands folded before their forehands to Brahma. Lastly they return to Pancawati Kingdom happily.

Tamansari, Yogyakarta is not only a recreational park which became the royal family of that era, but also has a variety of functions which are also used as an area Camouflage against his enemies, and also became a bastion of the system, but it is also used as a place for meditation for the Kings, a place to make batik made ​​by the king's concubines and daughters of the King, a place for the royal army military training and much more. Castle then widely referred to as the Water Palace (water castle) that because of the value and uniqueness of the architecture of the building and the grooves are filled with pond water pond. Role in history is conveyed by some people who become your Water Castle mentions that the park is used by the king of Mataram (Yogyakarta) to take a bath in certain months. There is little mysticism going on around the pool area at the time. When the King was about to enter the Water Castle then greeted with gamelan music sung from small buildings on the right and left in front of the Water Castle. Then there are certain ceremonies to welcome the King and the people who want to get into the Water Castle.

Taman Sari consists of:

1. The Sacred Room

There is the sacred place in the complex showing a separated building, which once functioned as a hermitage place for the Sultan and his family.

This part was formerly a pleasure place for the royal family. Consists of two bathing pool that are separated with a 2-storey building. From this building the Sultan watched all the women swimming in the outer pool. Then he might ask some of them to accompany him into the inner pool.
