Editing Gamelan (section)

===Ceremonies===
Gamelan is used to accompany various traditional ceremonies in Indonesia, gamelan kodhok ngorek, gamelan monggang, gamelan carabalen, and gamelan ageng are used for important ceremonies related to kings in the Yogyakarta and Surakarta palaces such as the king's [[coronations]] ceremony, the king's birthday ceremony, the coronation anniversary, royal guest reception, baby [[birth]], marriage, death, and so on.
Outside the palace in Java, gamelan is used for [[Wedding reception]], birth ceremonies, [[circumcision]] ceremonies, rice harvesting, ruwatan ceremonies, and [[death]] ceremonies (dhukitan). The musical presentation in the dhukitan ceremony in the general public is different from that in Palace. Gendhing at dhukitan ceremonies in the palace use the kodhok ngorek gamelan instrument, only intended for the death of the king and his family and only served when the corpse departs to the cemetery. Meanwhile, gendhing offerings at duhkitan ceremonies in the general public (outside the palace environment) are usually served at the time of the death of musical artists of dance, musical puppetry, wayang orang, cultural observers, and theater using the gamelan gadhon ensemble.
