List of sacred places in Java
- Note that Java has at least three main cultural regions determined in part by the linguistic usages.
Regions in Java
However as known in Javanese language usage, vocabulary usage in the south western central Java region (Cilacap) can be significantly different from north eastern central Java region (Mount Muria).
- Jakarta
- Sundanese (or West Java)
- Javanese (or Central Java and East Java)
- Tenggerese (or Mount Bromo region)
In each region there are significant numbers of locations that are either currently known as sacred, or have been documented in the past as sacred places.
