The 21-day event, kicking off today at Istana Balai Besar, showcases rare royal regalia alongside traditional weapons, manuscripts, and artifacts. The crown, crafted during the reign of Sultan Ismail Ibni Almarhum Sultan Muhammad IV, is a testament to the state's royal history, featuring 473 diamonds, 52 emeralds, rubies, and a royal blue velvet lining.
