Flag-bearers of the 11 battalions of Yogyakarta’s palace warriors align with the flags representing their battalion in a salute ceremony before the beginning of the Grebeg Syawal procession inside the grounds of the palace on June 26, 2017, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Warriors from each battalion are dressed in their distinctive attire, as each battalion was historically responsible for different tasks in Yogyakarta’s sultanate territory.
