Form
The tendency has been for graves to equate to sacred places, but the full range can include (and this list is not exhaustive)
- Caves (Goa or Gua)
- Trees, or a group of trees (Pohon or Hutan)
- Springs
- Rock Outcrops
- Remains of old buildings/structures
- Man made fixed structures - buildings, and ruins
- Kraton structures are considered sacred
- Places of rest of Javanis saints or legendary characters
In some areas in Java, the tell-tale sign that a place has been ascribed sacred or special, is either traces of burnt incense (kemenyan) or flower petals.

Famous quotes containing the word form:
“A form upon the quilted
overcast, gleam, Sacrè
Coeur, saltlick
to the mind’s
desire”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death M even death on a cross.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 2:5-8.
“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
