Wanna live like a royal in Malaysia? If you abide by all of the requirements proudly displayed at the Istana Jahar Museum of Royal Traditions, heavy will hang the head that wears the crown. There's no end to traditions that must be abided.
The museum is housed in an impressive former royal residence. It was built in 1887 by Sultan Muhammad II of Kelantan for his grandson Long Kundur. The museum opened in 1981.
Beautiful woodwork throughout and an impeccable restoration. On to ceremonies. Many examples are displayed, frequently for reasons that seem exhausting. There's an Earth Stepping ceremony, a Bathing ceremony, the required Seven Month Pregnancy ceremony and so on. You want to be royalty? You're gonna be busy.
Your wardrobe, like living atop a wedding cake. Sweet.
More displays of ceremonies. One consistent feature: a big, rubber chicken.
Royal bed, with instructions. You did not just encourage people to...move along.
