Large mirror on the right and left Kori Kemadungan mengadung meaning introspection. The name itself comes from Kemandungan Mandung words that have meaning to stop. The name comes from Marcukundha ward Marcu word which means fire and that means kundho container / place, so Marcukundho symbolizes a prayer / hope. The stage tower is a symbol Sangga Buwana Linga and Kori Sri Manganti the west side is a symbol of Yoni. Linga-Yoni symbol in Javanese society is believed to be a symbol of fertility. In Garebeg ceremony known as a charity in the form of mountain king. Mound represents charity mountainous.
In addition Surakarta palace also has a mystical and myth and legend that developed in the community. Like the meaning of the lost philosophy, mysticism and myth and legend of the program is increasingly disappearing. As one example is the belief some people in the mountains fighting Garebeg. They believe parts of the mountains can bring good luck in the form of either financial or otherwise.
In addition there are legends about the age of Surakarta Nagari. When the palace was completed came a prediction that the kingdom of Surakarta will only prevail over two hundred years. After two hundred years the king's power will only be as wide as the flowering of an umbrella (Jw: cooking curry megare umbrella). Legend of the program seemed to get ratification by the fact happened. If the placement is calculated from the palace officially on 1745 / 6 then two hundred years later in 1945 Indonesia's independence Kesusnanan power actually declined. A year later in 1946 Surakarta kesunanan really susuhunan removed and power is completely discharged and only the close relatives only.
