Istana Jahar
Istana Jahar, Kota Bharu, MalaysiaAbout
Istana Jahar is an achingly beautiful chocolate-brown building that dates back to 1887; thanks to its verandah and general sense of breezy space, itâs one of the most attractive traditional buildings in the city. The interior displays focus on Kelatanese ritual and crafts, from detailed descriptions of batik-weaving to the elaborate ceremonies that once marked the life of local youth, from circumcision to wedding nights to funerary rights.
