YOGYAKARTA IS A HISTORICAL CITY...

I have new experience again. With travelling, I got many knowledge and experience. I was 15 year old,        I liked to read history textbook. I usually read regarding the Majapahit Kingdom,Sriwijaya and other interesting book. I had showed the Borobudur Temple in the book of Indonesia's history. I imagined in myself  in past time, I wanna visited in the Yogyakarta. I wanna step on the Borobudur Temple and Now, Alhamdulillah. I can visit the Borobudur Temple directly..

The Borobudur Temple is considered as one of the seven wonders of the world. This temple is located at Borobudur District, South of Magelang, Central Java. Borobudur was built by Sanmaratungga in the 8th century, and belongs to Buddha Mahayana. Borobudur was revealed by Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles in 1814. The temple was found in ruined condition and was buried. Based on the inscription dated 842 AD, Casparis suggested that Borobudur was one time a place for praying. The inscription stated a phrase such as: “Kawulan i Bhumi Sambhara”. Kawulan means the origin of holiness, “bhumi sambhara” is a name of a place in Borobudur. Paul Mus stated that Borobudur Temple had the structure of stupa (conical form) with double expression. As a whole, the Borobudur Temple was an open-flat stupa, but on the other hand, the temple expressed the idea of a “closed world”  (Daud AT, 1987). 

anything else, other interesting place in Yogyakarta that visited with my friend. I already visit the Kraton (Palace). hehehe.. it's great moment. Previously, I want to narate regarding kraton of Yogyakarta because I'm really loved a history so, I must engrave my history too. How ?? I keep achievement and good deed to each other. I think, we can become a good example for our next generation. Okey.

Keraton Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat or now better known by the name of Yogyakarta Palace is the center of Javanese culture living museum that is in the Special Region Yogykarta (Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta). Not just becomes the place to live for the king and his family, the palace is also a main direction of cultural development of Java, as well as the flame guard of the culture (Wikipedia, 2013).

Next,  How the history of Yogyakarta ???

 

The Dutch Colonial Government arranged for the carrying out autonomous self-government, arranged under a political contract. When the Indonesian independence was proclaimed, the rulers, the Sultan of Yogyakarta and Prince of Pakualaman made a declaration they would become part of the Republic of Indonesia. Those two regions were unified to form the Yogyakarta Special Region and the sultan became the Governor of Yogyakarta and the Prince of Pakualaman as the vice-governor; both were responsible to the President of Indonesia. The Special Region of Yogyakarta was created after the independence war ended and legalized on August 3, 1950 (Wikipedia, 2013).
