Astana Pajimatan Himagiri

Astana Pajimatan Himagiri, also known simply as Imogiri (Javanese: ꦲꦶꦩꦒꦶꦫꦶ; or Imagiri in standard Javanese romanisation) is a royal graveyard complex in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, in south-central Java, Indonesia, in the Imogiri subdistrict under the administration of Bantul Regency. Imogiri is the traditional resting place for the royalty of central Java, including many rulers of the Sultanate of Mataram and the current houses of Surakarta and Yogyakarta Sultanate. The name imagiri or imogiri was derived from Sanskrit Himagiri, meaning 'mountain of snow'.

The site's most prominent graves are that of the early Mataram ruler Sultan Agung, and Sultan of Yogyakarta Hamengkubuwono IX, a leader during Indonesia's war for independence. The most recent is that of Pakubuwana XIII of Surakarta who was buried on November 5, 2025.
