The word ''wali'' is Arabic for "trusted one" or "friend of God" ("saint" in this context), while the word ''sanga'' is Javanese for the number nine.

The graves of the Wali Sanga are venerated as locations of ziarah (ziyarat) or local pilgrimage in Java. The graves are also known as ''pundhen'' in Javanese. Origins ...
