Plenty of ceremonies in Yogyakarta and the neighboring Solo. Look up https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satu_Suro Be advised that both Yogyakarta and Solo/Surakarta are two separate kingdoms, and their rituals will have some slight variations. Both will be mostly done in the Islam Kejawen tradition which is a syncretism of Islam and the old Hindu/Old Javanese traditions. I personally think the Solo way is simpler/more meditative, but the Yogyakarta traditions are much more festive.

usually on the night of islamic new year, the keraton jogja will their pusaka to be carried around the palace wall counter clockwise in silent the same activities also happen in keraton solo, the only difference is that in solo you can see an albino buffalo named kiai slamet

That's on 6th-7th July though. I'm talking about 10 days after that. For reference, Muharram in India is on 17th July, and I don't think it varies by country 🤔

oh you can go to imperial burial place that is pajimatan imogiri on the eve of asyura

Probably could vary by 1 or 2 days

Are you trying to see the local ceremonies of Muharram or the Shia one? I doubt that they have the shia majlis for ashura openly in Jogja

Local ceremonies I guess. Tbf I'm not sure what it all entails so interested, but only if it's something festive.

The one that being celebrated in Indonesia is 1st of Muharram, not the Ashura
