Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Sunan Giri Mosque is located near Gresik, about 45 kilometres from Surabaya, Indonesia. Its pavilion shelters the tomb of Sunan Giri, one of the nine Muslim saints of Java (see Wali Sanga), and like the tombs of the other wali sanga, it is a significant and highly auspicious pilgrimage point. This site is often referred to as Giri Kedaton.
The site also hosts various family members from Sunan Giri, such as his foster mother,[1] wives, and sons.[2]
It is believed that this is the location of the Giri Kedaton Kingdom which was founded by Sunan Giri on March 9, 1487.[2] As its wood carvings are thought to date back 500 years and are well preserved, retaining the original gold and red lacquer colour scheme.
This site is located on the top of Giri hill with a steep uphill, precisely at Sidomukti Village, parts of Kebomas Sub-district of Gresik Regency, about 200 m south from Sunan Giri graveyard.
