Kulonprogo Regency Emblem

The Kulonprogo Regency emblem consists of a five-pointed star, rice and cotton, three lines, a traditional lamp, a wayang gunungan form, and eight yellow flowers. Its documented elements refer to Pancasila, local prosperity, the region’s rivers, community resolve, the BINANGUN motto, and its natural and cultural world.

• Five-pointed star: The star symbolizes the ideal foundation of struggle and the philosophy of Pancasila.
• Rice and cotton: These elements symbolize prosperity and local produce, including coconut and cloves.
• Three lines: The lines symbolize the three major rivers flowing through Kulonprogo: the Progo, Serang, and Bogowonto.
• Traditional lamp: The flame of the traditional juplak symbolizes the people’s spirit and determination not to give up.
• Wayang gunungan form: This form depicts the BINANGUN motto and the contents of the universe and its cultures as expressions of human creation, feeling, intention, and work.
• Eight yellow flowers: The flowers represent the BINANGUN motto.

The regional motto is “Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana,” meaning to preserve the safety, beauty, and sustainability of the world. This motto context is associated with the Kulonprogo Regency emblem and complements the emblem’s documented reference to BINANGUN.
