The Truntum motif was created by Kanjeng Ratu Kencana,the wife of Sunan Pakubuwana III,and refers to revitalized love. She created this motif as a symbol of unconditional,everlasting love that continues to grow (tumaruntum). Because of its meaning,the cloth with the truntum motif is usually worn by the parents of the bride and groom on the wedding day. It is hoped that the love symbolized in this motif will be passed on the bridal couple. It is sometimes felt that the parents are required to “guide” the bridal couple as they enter new life together.
