<p>By Howard G. Chua-Eoan

<p> The ceremony included such antique touches as a procession
complete with dwarfs and albinos, courtiers who carried statues
of sacred animals and a 150-year-old carriage topped with
gilded dragons. Thus, in the first coronation since 1940, Sultan
Hamengku Buwono X, 40, this month became King of Yogyakarta,
center of Java's Hindu-Islamic culture and site of the 8th
century Buddhist Borobudur temple. Though Indonesia was once a
string of island sultanates, Hamengku Buwono is the only ruling
sultan left. His coronation was also the first public anointing
of a sultan's wife -- or permaisuri -- in a century. But one
very modern idea crept in: corporate sponsorship. The official
coronation soft drink was Pepsi.
