Malaʻekula (original) (raw)
Malaʻekula or Malaʻe Kula (red square) is the proper name of the royal burial grounds in central Nukuʻalofa in the Kingdom of Tonga in the southern Pacific Ocean. The kings of Tonga and their very close relatives (wives, husbands, children) are buried there. Those who are a little farther away from the mainline (cousins, nephews, nieces, inlaws) are buried elsewhere, in other chiefly cemeteries. Kings from older times, (i.e. the Tuʻi Tonga dynasty), are mostly buried in the langi in Muʻa.

| dbo:abstract | Malaʻekula es el nombre que reciben los cementerios reales del centro de Nukualofa, Reino de Tonga. Los reyes y sus parientes muy cercanos (esposas, esposos, hijos) están enterrados allí. Sin embargo, los parientes más lejanos (primos, sobrinos, suegros) están enterrados en otros lugares, principalmente en otros cementerios. Los monarcas de las dinastías anteriores, (es decir, del Imperio Tuʻi Tonga), están, en su mayoría enterrados en el langi en Mua. Malaʻekula está a poca distancia al sur del Palacio real a lo largo del Hala Tuʻi (camino de los reyes). Kings Road es el nombre oficial de este camino y significa que este es el último camino que todo monarca tongano recorrerá durante su reinado, hacia su lugar de descanso. También se conoce como Hala Paini (camino de pinos) debido a los pinos de Norfolk (un árbol real en Tonga) que fueron plantados por los europeos a lo largo de la calle. El cementerio se estableció cuando murió el primer rey de la moderna Tonga, Siaosi Tāufaʻāhau Tupou I. Su tumba se encuentra en el medio del predio, y puede verse desde los jardines del palacio real.

Kings from older times, (i.e. the Tuʻi Tonga dynasty), are mostly buried in the langi in Muʻa. Malaʻekula is a short distance south of the royal palace along the Hala Tuʻi (kings road). Kings Road is the official name of this road and its name means that this is the last road every Tongan King will travel during his reign, toward his resting place in Mala'ekula. This road is also known as the Hala Paini (pine road) because of the Norfolk pines (a royal tree in Tonga) which were planted by Europeans along this road but all have disappeared due to the deep roots reaching the underground seawater. The cemetery was established when the first king of modern Tonga died, Siaosi Tāufaʻāhau Tupou I. His tomb is positioned in the middle of the field, such that one can see it there when looking from the palace grounds straight along the Hala Tuʻi . The word malaʻe means in Tongan: (village)-green, park, playground, etc. but it is also the royal word for cemetery. Kula means red. It is a reminder of the famous kātoanga kula (red festival) held at that place in 1885. The festival was a fundraising event for (whose corporate colour is vermilion-red, opened 1882), and everybody was dressed in red that day. (en) |
