Wayang Blawong

Blawong originates from the words “blabak,” meaning wooden board or place, and “dhuwung,” meaning keris (a traditional Indonesian dagger). Thus, “blawong” refers to a place where a keris is displayed on the wall. This blawong is adorned with carvings of wayang (shadow puppet) figures, specifically depicting Pandu and Dewi Kunti. They symbolize the ideals of leadership, duty, maternal devotion, and spiritual strength.
