Banyusumurup

Banyusumurup is a sub-village (dusun) in Girirejo village, southeast of Imogiri in Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Entrance to graveyard in the 1990s

The sub-village was acknowledged as a 'kris making' location at some stages in the 20th century.[1][2][3]

Banyusumurup is known for Banyusumurup Graveyard, part of the Imogiri Royal Graveyard complex, traditionally associated with being the 'outcast' graveyard of those who fell out of favour with rulers – in most cases in the 17th and 18th centuries.[4]
