Kaliurang is a small town located about 25 km north of the town of Yogyakarta. It is on the southern slopes of Mount Merapi.
After the 2010 eruption, villagers living on the slope were relocated to the temporary settlement.
Their livehood as shepherds, cow-herds and farmers, together with their homes, were obliterated by the eruption.
Pak Mbah Marijan, the octogenerian spiritual guardian of Mount Merapi, was buried under ash spewed from the volcano he served. His son is now the guardian of Mount Merapi.
