Welcoming Guest on a Private Royal Dinner
Within the compound of the
nDalem, i.e. on the right and left
side of the main building and the
pendopo stand smaller buildings,
occupied by the inheritors of the
abdi (=servants) nDalem also
called magersari (those given the
permit to stay there by the
owners of the nDalem). All the
magersari citizens are associated
in two RT (Rukun Tetangga=
neighbourhood association).
Magersari is the term for society
members living in a place owned
by the Kraton or their inheritors.
As in the case of the Magersari who live within
the compound of nDalem which is now occupied
by the sons-daughters of the late GKR Anom, the sister of
Sultan HB X, the magersari do not
own that place. They are allowed to stay there
and participate in maintaining the place. In this
nDalem there are ten families occupying the
place who have lived there for decades, going
back several generations.
All the citizens of the nDalem Kaneman
participate in maintaining and conserving the
nDalem Kaneman starting from the keeping of
cleanliness of the area until directly or indirectly
involved in the way the magersari citizens
prepare the typically Kraton cooking.
