Istana Desa

Istana Desa, meaning "Village Palace" in Malay, is a traditional Malaysian community space that serves as a central gathering point for villagers. It functions as a cultural and social hub where local events, celebrations, and meetings are held. Often historically associated with village leadership or royalty, it embodies community heritage and identity. The Istana Desa plays a vital role in promoting social cohesion, preservation of cultural practices, and serving as a symbol of communal unity within the rural or traditional Malaysian setting.
