Visiting Kedah royal mausoleum at Langgar



Just 100 metres north of the mosque lies the Kedah royal mausoleum.


The last time we went here was 4 years ago.


Then, my youngest kid Johan (standing) has not even existed. He is now 2 years 10 months old.


This one should be the grave of the recently deceased Tunku Bendahara Kedah, younger brother to the present Sultan of Kedah (also the current Yang di-Pertuan Agong or king of Malaysia).


If not mistaken he passeed away in May.


This mausoleum housed the tombs of Kedah royalty from as far as 300 years ago.


This one is unique as it is covered by a huge termite mound.


At an older section the tombstone are mainly of a type known as Aceh tombstones.





However I can't find reference to whom the tombs belong except at this one...
