With this new name, they entered the 2016 IBL competition. Several names of Bima Sakti star players are still in this club such as Yanuar Dwi Priasmoro, Alan As'adi, and Restu Dwi Purnomo.

There are many temples in Jogjakarta, such as Prambanan Temple, Ratu Boko Temple, Kalasan Temple, etc. Prambanan Temple or Roro Jonggrang Temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia which was built in the 9th century AD. This temple is dedicated to Trimurti, the three main Hindu gods, namely Brahma as the creator god, Vishnu as the god of preservation, and Shiva as the god of destruction. Based on the Siwagrha inscription the original name of this temple complex is Siwagrha (Sanskrit which means 'House of Shiva'), and indeed in the garbagriha (main room) of this temple There is a statue of Shiva Mahadeva as high as three meters which shows that in this temple Lord Shiva is preferred.


Jogjakarta's form of government is very unique because it is still in the form of a monarchy (kingdom), which is different than the form of the Indonesian government which is a republic. This is why the name of the province of Jogjakarta is the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY).

There are several unique batik motifs in Jogjakarta, such as:

1. Ceplok Motif


Yogyakarta Ceplok Batik motif includes a variety of geometric designs, usually based on a circular rose, star or other small shapes, forming an overall symmetrical pattern on Yogyakarta batik cloth. usually brides use this motif because this motif is usually used at wedding ceremonies or parties.

2. Parang Motif


Yogyakarta Parang Batik motif is commonly referred to as the keris batik motif or sword pattern by the international community. Whereas in Javanese society it is commonly referred to as the Parang Lidah api or flame motif. Parang is one of the strongest batik motifs from other existing batik motifs. The machete motif is in the form of clear lines arranged diagonally parallel. The parang motif itself has developed and has led to other motives such as the Parang Rusak, the Barong machete, the Parang Kusuma, the Parang Pamo, the Klithik parang, and the Sobrah slope. In the past, the maker was a founder of the Mataram Palace, so by the kingdom, the machete motifs could only be used by the king and his descendants and could not be used by ordinary people. This type of batik is then included in the “prohibited batik” group.


There are some foods in Jogja that taste good and special, such as gudeg, krecek, etc. Gudeg is a typical food of Yogyakarta and Central Java - young jackfruit cooked / boiled with coconut milk, brown sugar, salt and spices. It takes overnight / 12 hours to cook. The resulting brown color is from teak leaves that are also cooked with it.

The city of Jogja was previously the capital of Indonesia before being moved again to Jakarta. Between early 1946 and late 1949 the Indonesian capital was moved to Yogyakarta then moved back to Jakarta.
