In this rite, only the code of conduct of the palace prevails. As everything is in Javanese, the resulting atmosphere is laden with mystical and ritualistic elements. The two cones are then escorted in a parade led by palace guards of various ranks. Following the soldiers are the royal family, courtiers and officials, The last in line are high- ranking courtiers who are assigned to carry the gunungan. The procession moves in a military-like manner, accompanied by the sound of the drums and flutes, lending great festivity to the atmosphere.
Locals flock to the roadside to witness the procession.
The entire procession moves to the Grand Mosque of Surakarta, to the west of the yard of the palace, a distance of about 500 meters. Upon arrival at the mosque, the palace ulema will read a prayer for the offerings as a token to safeguard the ruler of Surakarta and the entire nation. At the peak of the rite, the cones are carried to the courtyard of the mosque and it is here that the audience will vie with one another for a piece of the rice cones. The ceremony's symbols are highly religious. According to Kalinggo, the cone shape of the rice, the top being sharply-pointed, signifies God the creator of the universe.
