The Imogiri Cultural Convoy with the rite of bringing ‘Siwur’ (dipper made of coconut shelf) to clean a jar by draining was filled up by thousands people. The convoy took route from Imogiri sub district office to Imogiri cemetery yard. This is an annual tradition, which is done before the rite of "Nguras Enceh" (cleaning a jar by draining), that was done at the Kings of Mataram cemetery in Imogiri.


The convoy was followed by soldiers of Giritamtomo, ‘abdi dalem’ (servant) from Surakarta palace that brought palanquin, the servant soldiers of Yogyakarta also brought palanquin to put ‘siwur’, gunungan (a sacred meal, which is arranged like a mount), Reksaprajan’s servants, traditional artists and students.

This convoy was started from Imogiri sub district office. In this occasion, the ex-Regent of Bantul, Drs HM Idham Samawi, who was accompanied by the head of Imogiri sub district, Drs Misbakhul Munir, escorted the convoy participants. The convoy then walked to the Regency hall of Surakarta’s guard person. The Regent of guard person of Surakarta, KPH Suryonegoro gave ‘siwur’ and legacy to the servant soldiers of Surakarta. ‘Siwur’ and legacy was then put into the palanquin to be brought to the destination place. The convoy was then continued to the Purulaya guard person regency of Yogyakarta to take "siwur", which was given directly by Regent of guard person, KRT Hastana Negara.

The convoy procession ended at parking yard in Imogiri cemetery area. The head of Imogiri sub district then received the two "siwur", which was then given to the servants of Surakarta and Yogyakarta. There was also a gift giving to the contest participant in a series of Imogiri Festive 2005.
