Saka guru information


The saka guru of a pendopo in Kraton Yogyakarta.

Saka guru, or soko guru in Javanese, is the set of four main posts that support certain Javanese buildings, e.g. the pendopo, the house proper, and the mosque. The saka guru is the most fundamental element in Javanese architecture because it supports the entire roof of the building. Because of its importance, the saka guru is imbued with symbolism and treated with certain rituals.
