Abstract
Garebeg, also grebeg, is the Javanese term for a grand ceremony celebrated three times a year at the kratons (royal courts) of Yogyakarta, Surakarta, and Cirebon, coinciding with the three Islamic feasts of Mawlid al-Nabī (birthday of the Prophet), ‘īd al-fiṭr (festival of the breaking of the fast) and ‘īd al-aḍḥā (sacrificial feast).
