Once you have received permission, you can enter the room but there are several rules for the visitor. You must take off your shoes or sandals and mustn’t talk dirty in the room. You also cannot take photos. For those who want to meditate, you only can stay in the room for a maximum of one hour. There is an altar in the room for praying and a painting of Nyi Roro Kidul hangs above it. She wears green clothes and is beautifully painted. Agung Okawati, a Hindu priest called a Pemangku who guards the room, said that Room 327 was not originally built for the queen. It was the fire that occurred in the hotel on January 20th of 1993 that altered the story.
