Candi, Space and Landscape Degroot Candi, Space and Landscape A study on the distribution, orientation and spatial Candi, Space and Landscape organization of Central Javanese temple remains Central Javanese temples were not built anywhere and anyhow. On the con- trary: their positions within the landscape and their architectural designs were determined by socio-cultural, religious and economic factors. This book ex- plores the correlations between temple distribution, natural surroundings and architectural design to understand how Central Javanese people structured Candi, Space and Landscape the space around them, and how the religious landscape thus created devel- oped. Besides questions related to territory and landscape, this book analyzes the structure of the built space and its possible relations with conceptualized space, showing the influence of imported Indian concepts, as well as their limits. Going off the beaten track, the present study explores the hundreds of small sites that scatter the landscape of Central Java. It is also one of very few stud- ies to apply the methods of spatial archaeology to Central Javanese temples and the first in almost one century to present a descriptive inventory of the remains of this region.

CANDI, SPACE AND LANDscAPE A study on the distribution, orientation and spatial organization of Central Javanese temple remains Véronique Degroot Mededelingen van het Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde, Leiden No. 38 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My desire to research the relationship between ancient Javanese architecture and its natural environment was probably first conceived in 1993. That sum- mer, I made a trip to Indonesia to complete the writing of my BA dissertation. There, on the upper slopes of the ever-clouded Ungaran volcano, looking down at the sulfurous spring that runs between the shrines of Gedong Songo, I expe- rienced the genius loci of Central Javanese architects. After my BA studies, I did many things and had many jobs, not all of them archaeology-related. Nevertheless, when I finally arrived in Leiden to enroll as a PhD candidate, the subject naturally imposed itself upon me. Here is the result, a book exploring the notion of space in ancient Central Java, from the layout of the temple plan to the interrelationship between the built and natural landscape. I would like to thank all those who accompanied me along this path; family members, friends, colleagues and scholars. My first thoughts go to my part- ner, Olivier Merveille, who witnessed my conceptual enlightenment at Gedong Songo and mentally kicked me every time I was tempted to give up. To my two little girls, Leïla and Shanti who made things a bit more complicated - especially once they had found the on/off button on my computer - but brought so much joy into my life. In the Netherlands, I want to thank Prof. Dr M.J. Klokke whose support and encouragement pushed me into writing this book. I also want to thank my first supervisor, Prof. Dr. Aart J.J. Mekking, for his discrete but constant sup- port and his wise advice, Dr. Pauline Lunsingh Scheurleer for her comments on certain parts of the present dissertation – and all the books she gave me free of charge, and Dr. Hedi I.R. Hinzler, for sharing information and photographs with me, as well as Prof. Dr. B. Arps, my last supervisor. In Indonesia, I want to express my gratitude to the staff of the Pusat Penelitian Arkeologi Nasional, and in particular to Prof. Dr. Hari Sukendar, then head of the institute, and Dr. Peter Ferdinandus. My thanks go also to Prof. Dr. Edi Sedyawati, from the Universitas Indonesia, and Dr. Harry Widianto, former head of the Balai Arkeologi Yogyakarta, who kindly supported me dur- ing my fieldwork in Central Java. I also thank the staff of the Balai Pelestarian Peninggalan Purbakala in Bogem and Prambanan, as well as the Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI). Further, I would like to thank all the people in Indonesia who helped me to find the old stones I was looking for, through rice fields, volcanoes, rivers, stables and graveyards, and all the people who made our family stay in Yogayakarta the most cherished memory so far in the life of Leïla. v Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues Dr. Julian Millie and Dr. William Southworth for having taken the trouble to correct my English, and Francine Brinkgreve for the translation of the summary into Dutch. vi CONTENTS Acknowledgements V Spelling conventions XIII Note on the plans XV 1 Introduction: aims, background and methodology 1 Previous research on Central Javanese temple remains 2 The colonial era 3 The post-war period 6 Historical background: dynastic sistory and state organization 7 Early Southeast Asia: Indian migrants, indianization and cultural convergence 7 Dynastic history of Central Java: the old and new hypotheses 9 State organization in Central Java 13 Chronology of Central Javanese monuments: absence of consensus 14 Chronological framework of the present book 18 Landscape archaeology in Central Java 19 Methodology 21 Temple remains: a definition 21 Drawing archaeological maps 23 Analysis and hypotheses 23 2 Presentation of the secondary sources 25 Dutch sources 25 N.W.

Revised: April 23, 2018. Accepted: June 10, 2018 Abstract This research aims at examining how Banyumas people’s characteristics are symbolically ex- pressed in Calung Banyumasan performance. This qualitative research employs a hermeneutic approach to examine any symbolic meanings in calung performance. The data are collected by literary study, document study, observation and interview, which are then analyzed using con- tent analysis and interactive analysis of Miles and Huberman. The research results show that some song lyrics identify Banyumas people’s images and characteristics such as equality and honesty (cablaka) just like the ngoko level language they use. The performance consists of opening, Lenggeran, Badhudan, and Baladewan acts in the process of illustrating the character of Banyumas people who love jokes and crowd. Some aspects arising in performance reflect Banyumas people as an egalitarian, straightforward, like-to-gather, and syncretic society.

  • Plataran Borobudur Encounter
    PLATARAN BOROBUDUR ENCOUNTER ABOUT THE DESTINATION Plataran Borobudur Resort & Spa is located within the vicinity of ‘Kedu Plain’, also known as Progo River Valley or ‘The Garden of Java’. This fertile volcanic plain that lies between Mount Sumbing and Mount Sundoro to the west, and Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi to the east has played a significant role in Central Javanese history due to the great number of religious and cultural archaeological sites, including the Borobudur. With an abundance of natural beauty, ranging from volcanoes to rivers, and cultural sites, Plataran Borobudur stands as a perfect base camp for nature, adventure, cultural, and spiritual journey. BOROBUDUR Steps away from the resort, one can witness one the of the world’s largest Buddhist temples - Borobudur. Based on the archeological evidence, Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is one of Indonesia’s most iconic tourism destinations, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage and majestic history. BOROBUDUR FOLLOWS A remarkable experience that you can only encounter at Plataran Borobudur. Walk along the long corridor of our Patio Restaurants, from Patio Main Joglo to Patio Colonial Restaurant, to experience BOROBUDUR FOLLOWS - where the majestic Borobudur temple follows you at your center wherever you stand along this corridor.

Revised: May 18, 2016. Accepted: June 24, 2016 Abstract This study aims to identify a number of legendary Banyumasan songs. The fact that a large num- ber of the songs exist and people sing the songs all the time shows that the songs have their own uniqueness. This study takes place in Banyumas regency. By doing performance study and com- position, this study identifies the form and the structure of Banyumasan songs, and the moral value of Banyumasan music, especially the songs in Banyumasan music. The result of the study shows that the songs in the art performances in Banyumas commonly use classic immutable songs. The lyrics in the classic Banyumasan songs use Ngoko Javanese in Banyumasan dialect. The rhyme of the lyrics is usually in the form of wangsalan, parikan, and Essen-Essen. The rhyme contains funny and entertaining riddles. The lyrics of Banyumasan songs reflect Banyumas peo- ple’s character and the dream/utopia of the people’s ideology. The character is shown in the use of ngoko Javanese in Banyumas dialect which shows that the society is blakasuta or egalitarian who considers all people in the world has the same level and must be honest.

    Tenaga Dalam Volume 2 - August 1999 The Voice of the Indonesian Pencak Silat Governing Board - USA Branch Welcome to the August issue of Tenaga Dalam. A lot has occurred since May issue. Pendekar Sanders had a very successful seminar in Ireland with Guru Liam McDonald on May 15-16, a very large and successful seminar at Guru Besar Jeff Davidson’s school on June 5-6 and he just returned from a seminar in England. The seminar at Guru Besar Jeff Davidson’s was video taped and the 2 volume set can be purchased through Raja Naga. Tape 1 consists of blakok (crane) training and Tape 2 has about 15 minutes more of blakok training followed by a very intense training session in various animal possessions including the very rare Raja Naga possession. Guru Besar Davidson and his students should be commended on their excellent portrayal of the art. Tape 1 is available to the general public, but due to the intense nature of tape 2 you must be a student. It is with great sadness that I must report that Guru William F. Birge passed away. William was a long time personal student of Pendekar Sanders and he will be missed by all of the people that he came into contact with. 1 Tribute to Guru William F.
