By opening the Alor Setar City in 1735 by Sultan Muhammad Jiwa Zainal Adilin Mu'adzam Shah II, the 19th Sultan of Kedah (1710-1778), some of the early buildings were completed including the Kota Setar Palace, the Great Hall, Throne Hall and the State Mosque . Design Throne Hall of the original can not be identified, but clearly it is made of wood.
Age of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Mukarram Shah, the Sultan of Kedah to-24 (1854-1879), a new Throne Hall was built up to five storeys. Whole buildings were built of wood and zinc roofs.
While at the time of Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah, the Sultan of Kedah to-26 (1882-1943), established a new Throne Hall again made of stone and metal. The design is the same as the previous wooden building. It has three floors and a dome which is located at the peak reflecting Islamic elements such as the construction of the mosque. The new building was completed in 1906.
On this day, Kedah Throne Hall was used as a store of musical instruments which only played the Royal Throne in the Royal ceremonies such as the coronation day, marriage and burial Royal. Throne musical consists of three large tambourine, two small tambourine, a gong and a flute can produce a compelling combination of sound known as nobat music, a form of song culture of the state.
