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.
