But most likely this Sewu temple complex was restored and enlarged by the prince of Sanjaya dynasty descendant Rakai Pikatan. Rakai Pikatan from the Hindu Sanjaya dynasty who later married a daughter of the Buddhist Syailendra dynasty named Pramodhawardhani. This great marriage was finally able to marry the two great cultures of the two great dynasties that reigned at that time in Java in particular. The Buddhist Syailendra dynasty began to diminish its power at that time, while the Hindu Sanjaya dynasty was in its heyday. But this marriage turned out to finally be a unifier between the two great dynasties. And the people of the two dynasties can co-exist very harmoniously and peacefully.

CANDI KIDAL STORIES

The story of "Garudeya" is closely related to the story of Samodramantana or Amretamantana is one episode of the story contained in the first part (parwa) epic Mahabharata, namely Adiparwa. The subject of the story concerns the family of Viyasa, precisely the story of Vyasa (Byasa) ganeologis with his two wives, Winata and Kadru along with dramatic events around the offspring of both of them. Upon request of each of his wives, who could not bear (stiril, barren), then Vyasa gave three eggs to Winata to be incubated. However, the successful hatch and perfect monster birth is just a, in the form of an anthrophomorphic (half-bird) creature called "Garudeya". The hundred eggs grown by Kadru, all hatched, in the form of a hundred snakes. Although Adiparwa's textual literature has been translated and translated in the Dharmmavamsa Tguh government (beginning of the XI AD) from Sanskreta to the Old Javanese letters and languages, but in the form of new visual literature comes as a temple relief during Majapahit (XIV century AD ). For example in Candi Kidal - the renovation of the Majapahit Golden Age, Kedaton and Sukuh. Among the three, the relief Garudeya in Kedaton Temple is the most number of panels reliefnya and coherent. While on Candi Kidal, only the key scene (scene scene), as many as three panels, carved in the pilaster (quasi-pole) the middle of the temple batur (soubasement) south, east and north. Directions read this relief prasawya, ie counterclockwise. There are structural considerations of determining the number of panels of reliefs and stories. Panil I (south side) binary opposite with panel III (north side). Whereas panel II (east side) becomes the liaison and also the key solution for changing the condition told in panil I to the condition told in panel III. Panil I recounts when Winata and her youngest son, Garudeya, lived life as slaves from Kadru. Garudeya's duties take care of the snakes of Kadru's son, as is visualized in this panel. In the relief depicted Garudeya shouldered the snakes on his shoulders. Winata and his son became slaves of the Kadru family, because he was defeated in a cunning manner by Kadru when betting in guessing the color of the horse Uchaiswara that poked out from the samodra of milk (samodra / ksirarwana) In accordance with the agreement, the losers became slaves of the winner. , the core conditions described are slavery or the shackles of human colonization over other human beings (imperalism, colonialism). Panil III recounts the incident when Garudeya managed to free or free her mother (Winata) from the practice of slavery Kadru. In this relief Garudeya depicted holding her mother on her back (carrying buri) to be flown leaving Kadru's residence. Thus, the core of events described is liberation or freedom. If panel I is positioned with panel III, then the binnery opposition, ie slavery (colonialism) versus freedom (independence). The transition of conditions from colonized to independence is explained by panel II, thanks to Garudeya's success in obtaining amreta (water of life, water of immortality) as a 'redeemer' for his enslavement, Garudeya must struggle to obtain Tirtha Amreta - as samodra sari milk - secured by Lord Vishnu, so much so that in the battle between Garudeya against Vishnu for amreta, Vishnu was almost invincible by it, it was agreed that Wisnu was willing to 'lend' the amreta for the redemption, provided that Garudeya wanted to be a vehicle ) In this panel II Garudeya is depicted amusing amreta in a container that resembles a cup of recording (kamandalu) .The essence of the events told is the struggle to free themselves from the bondage of slavery (colonialism) in order to gain freedom (independence). If the above three panels are lined linearly into right-handed pivils (Il), middle (II) and left (III), then it implies the following message: (a) right-end pane>

CANDI PLAOSAN

temple in central java indonesia this temple is located in Bugisan Village, Prambanan District, Klaten Regency, about 1.5 km to the east of Sewu Temple. This temple is an ancient building complex which is divided into two, the Plaosan Lor temple complex (lor in the Java language means north) and Plaosan Kidul Temple complex (kidul in Java means south). The sculptures in Plaosan Temple are very smooth and detailed, similar to those found in Borobudur Temple, Sewu Temple, and Sari Temple Plaosan Temple which is a Buddhist temple by the experts estimated to be built during the reign of Rakai Pikatan of the Hindu Mataram Kingdom, which is at the beginning of the 9th century AD. One of the experts who support that opinion is De Casparis who holds the contents of Inscription Cri Kahulunan (842 M). In the inscription is stated that the Temple of Plaosan Lor built by Queen Sri Kahulunan, with the support of her husband. According to De Casparis, Sri Kahulunan is the title of Pramodhawardani, the daughter of King Samarattungga of Shailendra House. The Princess, who embraced Buddhism, married Rakai Pikatan from the Sanjaya House, who embraced Hinduism. Another opinion about the construction of Plaosan Temple is that the temple was built before the reign of Rakai Pikatan. According to Anggraeni, the meaning of Sri Kahulunan is Rakai Garung's mother who ruled Mataram before Rakai Pikatan. Rakai Pikatan government period is too short to be able to build a temple as Plaosan Temple. Rakai Pikatan built an ancillary temple after the construction of the main temple. In October 2003, in the complex near Perwara Temple in Plaosan Kidul temple complex was found an inscription that is estimated to date from the 9th century AD Inscription made of gold plate measuring 18.5 X 2.2 cm. it contains written in Sanskrit written using ancient Javanese letters.

BIGGEST DISASTER IN INDONESIEN

Prior to the 1883 eruption, seismic activity around Krakatoa was very high, causing a number of earthquakes to be felt as far as Australia. On May 20, 1883, the steam release began to occur regularly in Perboewatan, the northernmost island of the Krakatau Islands. The release of volcanic ash reached a height of up to 6 km and the sound of the eruption was heard up to Batavia (now Jakarta), which is 160 km from Krakatau. Volcanic activity declined in late May, and no further activity was recorded until the next few weeks. [Need a reference] The eruption again occurred on June 16, which caused a loud eruption and covered the island with thick black clouds for five days. On June 24, a blasting east wind cleared the cloud, and two fog rolls rose from Krakatau. This eruption is believed to have caused the emergence of two new ventilation formed between Perboewatan and Danan. Mountain activity also causes the tide in the vicinity to be very high, and ships at the port must be moored with chains to avoid being dragged by the sea. Earthquake shocks began to be felt in Anyer, West Java, and Dutch ships reported on the existence of a large floating stone floating in the Indian Ocean to the west. On August 11, the Dutch topographist, Captain H. J. G. Ferzenaar, began investigating the island. He found three rolls of ash covering the island, and steam release from at least eleven other vents, mostly in Danan and Rakata. Upon landing, Ferzenaar notes a layer of ash as thick as 0.5 m, and the destruction of all island vegetation, leaving only tree stumps. The next day, a passing ship reported on the existence of a new vent which is "only a few meters above sea level". Krakatau volcanic activity continues until mid-August On August 25, the eruption is on the rise. At around 13:00 on the 26th of August, Krakatoa entered a paroxyped phase. An hour later, observers can see a black ash cloud with a height of 27 km (17 mi). At this moment, eruptions occur continuously and explosions are heard every ten minutes. Sailing vessels within 20 km (12 mi) of Krakatau have been bombarded with thick ash, with pieces of hot pumice nearly 10 cm (3.9 in) in diameter landed on the deck of the ship. A small tsunami hit the coast of Java and Sumatra nearly 40 km (25 mi) away at 18.00 and 19.00. On August 27, four major eruptions occurred at 05.30, 06.44, 10.02, and 10:41 local time. At 5:30, the first eruption occurred in Perboewatan, which triggered a tsunami toward Teluk Betung. At 06:44, Krakatau erupted again in Danan, causing a tsunami in the east and west. The big eruption at 10:02 was so loud and nearly 3,110 km (1,930 mi) away to Perth, Western Australia and Rodrigues in Mauritius (4,800 km (3,000 mi) away). Residents there thought that the eruption was a gunshot sound from a nearby ship. Each eruption is accompanied by a tsunami wave, whose height is believed to reach 30 m in some places. The areas of the Sunda Strait and some parts of the coast of Sumatra are also affected by the pyroclastic flows of volcanoes. The energy released from the explosion is estimated to be equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT, [2] roughly four times stronger than the Tsar Bomba (the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever blown up). At 10.41, a landslide that knocked down half of Rakata triggered a final eruption The ships that sailed far into South Africa also reported tsunami shocks, and the bodies of the victims floated in the ocean for months after the incident. The town of Merak, Banten was devastated by the tsunami, as well as cities along the northern coast of Sumatra up to 40 km (25 mi) away to the mainland. [6] As a result of the eruption of Krakatau, the islands of the Krakatau Islands almost completely disappeared, except for three islands in the south. The Rakata cone volcano is separated along a vertical cliff, leaving a 250-meter (250-ft) deep caldera. Of the two islands in the north, only the rocky islands are named Bootsmansrots are left; Poolsche Hoed also disappeared completely. A year after the eruption, the average global temperature dropped 1.2 ° C. The weather pattern remained irregular for many years, and the temperature was never normal until 1888. [need a refer
