About batik Butterfly Sido Mukti (Sido Mukti Kupu-Kupu)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This batik pattern is originated in Surakarta (Solo), Central Java. This design is one of the ancient batik design originally used during the royal wedding of the Sunan's family (King's family). The butterfly variant symbolises freedom and perfection. It reminds us that to achieve happiness one must go through different stages which may be full off suffering which we need to endure and persevere. This is pictured by the life cycle of butterflies (metamorphosis).
