Imogiri also known as Imagiri is a royal graveyard complex in Yogyakarta, in south-central Java, Indonesia, as well as a modern village located near the graveyard in Bantul Regency. Imogiri is a traditional resting place for the royalty of central Java, including many rulers of the Sultanate of Mataram and of the current houses of Surakarta and Yogyakarta Sultanate. The name Imagiri is derived from Sanskrit Himagiri, which means 'mountain of snow'. The latter is another name for Himalaya.
Among the site's most prominent graves are those of early Mataram ruler Sultan Agung, and Sultan of Yogyakarta Hamengkubuwono IX, a leader during Indonesia's war for independence. The most recent is that of Pakubuwana XII of Surakarta who was buried in 2004.
- The huge graveyard is parted into three main areas:
- The Top section is named 'Prabayasa.'
- Middle section is named 'Kemangdhungan.'
- Entrance yard is called 'Srimanganti.'
With extensive renovation by various rulers and the burial of royal families by hierarchy, this tomb holds a special place in Indonesian heritage.
