Teakwood (scient. Tectona grandis L.f) statues representing the couple of Dewi Sri the goddess of rice and her consort Sadono. They were venerated by the Hindu Javanese agrarian populations as a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Prerogative of the Hindu Javanese aristocracy, in the past there was always a room in traditional houses of royal family which was specially made for worshiping Dewi Sri, the goddess of rice. The room was furnished with a set of bed and other offering stuffs, and it's called pasren or petanen, stand for the words pa-sri-an and pa-tani-an which means the place of Dewi Sri and the storage of the agricultural products. Other stuffs placed before bed are a couple or the Javanese bride and groom LORO BLONYO, one set of jar, one set of rice paddy and crops containers and robyong lamp which always flames up. Most of the Javanese agrarian believed and worshipped Dewi Sri as the blessing goddess. They store their crops one night in pasren before it's taken to the ceremony next day. In a wedding, the bride and groom meeting ceremony was held before the pasren, to have Dewi Sri the goddess bless their life and turn their life into the ones of Dewi Ratih and Dewa Kamajaya, The God of Love.
