Abstract
This article examines the offerings that are regularly presented by the rulers of the court of Surakarta to the Hindu-Javanese goddess Durga and her counterpart, the Queen of the Southern Ocean. It is based on my observations of ritual actions, which are placed in the historical context of Javanese written sources. While the central issue is the remarkable continuity of these cults, the description of the offerings and the manner in which they are presented is intended to help determine the identity of these two spirit queens and explain how they have maintained their relevance for Javanese society.
