Rajaaidat

Rajaaidat is a term of Russian origin that refers to a style of art and cultural movement that emerged in Indonesia in the mid-20th century. It is characterized by a blend of traditional Indonesian and European architectural and decorative elements.

The Raja Aidat style is often associated with the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, a kingdom in central Java, where it was fashionable among the nobility and royal family. This style could be seen in furnishings, decorations and the overall aesthetic of palaces and residences.
