Gunungan is a significant element in Wayang, the traditional Indonesian puppet theater that has deep cultural roots, particularly in Java. The term "Gunungan" translates to "mountain" in English, and it often symbolizes the mystical mountain or the axis mundi, representing the spiritual connection between the earth and the heavens. In Wayang performances, the Gunungan is used as a backdrop or a transition device between scenes.
