Viral Video Pertengkaran di Keraton Solo, Dua Kubu Saling Adu Mulut saat Persiapan Upacara Adat

TRIBUNSOLO.COM - That morning, the air inside the Kasunanan Surakarta Palace should have been filled with solemnity. The aroma of incense and offerings were ready to be carried to Parangkusumo Beach—a Wilujengan Hajad Dalem ritual filled with prayer, safety, and respect for ancestors. However, instead of sacred silence, the Sasana Parasediyo area suddenly erupted in uncontrollable emotions. A video circulating widely online bears witness: two factions within the blood-related circle were once again engaged in an argument. It all began around 9:30 a.m. WIB. Under the roof of Sasana Parasediyo, Regent Estri Anna Mujirahayu was busy. As the envoy responsible for the ritual equipment, her fingers deftly arranged the offerings and unfurled the carpet that would serve as the prayer mat. However, the atmosphere suddenly turned chilly when the Chairperson of the Traditional Council (LDA), GRAy Koes Moertiyah—familiarly known as Gusti Moeng—arrived on the scene. The meeting between the two women sparked a heated argument. Their differing views on the venue's layout quickly escalated into a heated argument. "There, Mbak Anna met with Gusti Moeng... they were insulting her and messing with the carpet that was to be used for the Wilujengan," said KPA Singonagoro, spokesperson for Pakubuwono XIV Purboyo. The carpet, which was supposed to be laid out to honor the sanctity of the tradition, instead became a silent witness to the tension. Irritation boiled over. Feeling that preparations for her sacred ceremony had been disrupted, Regent Estri Anna refused to remain silent. A heated argument broke out, shattering the silence of the palace that morning. Ultimately, KPH Eddy Wirabhumi had to intervene to break up the situation and calm his wife down to prevent the tension from escalating further. The tension in the room spilled over to the outer gate. Long before the argument broke out, rumors had been circulating that the envoys would not be allowed to pass through the main route. And sure enough, the majestic Kori Kamandungan, the central entrance, traditionally a sacred passage for royal envoys, remained firmly closed. For the traditional security forces, this was not simply a matter of entry and exit, but rather a matter of dignity and institutional honor. With the main entrance firmly locked, the envoys were forced to detour, walking gracefully but with a sense of foreboding through the side entrance. The impact of this "drama" behind the palace walls was palpable. The Wilujengan Hajad Dalem Parangkusumo ceremony, which should have proceeded precisely according to traditional time, was delayed by an hour. The journey to the South Coast was also forced to shift later in the day. This incident served as a bitter reminder that beneath the beauty of the batik, the elegance of the dances, and the sacredness of the offerings, the Solo Palace still harbors ripples of internal conflict that have not yet fully subsided. Tradition may still be going on and prayers may still be offered at Parangkusumo Beach, but the footsteps of those who preserve it that day felt much heavier than usual.
