Muhammad Kaharuddin III

Death

He died on 8 November 1975 in his home at Sumbawa Besar, at the age of 73. He was buried there, next to his father's grave. The Sultanate's throne remained vacant until 2011, when his son Daeng Mohammad Abdurrahman Kaharuddin ascended to the throne as Sultan Muhammad Kaharuddin IV, although without any governing authority. The Sultan Muhammad Kaharuddin III Airport in Sumbawa is named after him. The house he occupied from his abdication until his death, known as Bala Kuning, contains a number of artifacts of the sultanate and is a tourist destination.
