The traditional kingdom maids (Abdi Dalem) were attending reading and writing course for Javanese Traditional Letters (Aksara Jawa) at Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat library, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on November 22nd, 2016. Aksara Jawa learning course which attented by some of 'Abdi Dalem's was a program that learning a traditional letters before there are modern alpabhetic letters which used now in Yogyakarta. Aksara Jawa letters are abandoned for this era by Yogyakarta citizens because it's very difficult to be learnt by people nowadays. For making it existed again, this is a role of Abdi Dalem to teach it again to Yogyakarta youth generations for existance a culture of Yogyakarta. (Photo by Dasril Roszandi/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
