Millions of people are yearning to visit the buildings included in this World Wonder Heritages. No wonder, for the architectural and function as a place of worship, Borobudur is attractive heart.

Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the kings of Old Mataram Kingdom, Dynasty descendant dynasty. Based Kayumwungan inscription, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship was completed on 26 May 824, almost a hundred years from the time the construction. The name of Borobudur, as some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while the other says that Borobudur means monastery on the high ground.

Borobudur-shaped building with staircase punden consists of 10 levels. Height 42 meters before it was renovated and 34.5 meters after the renovation because the lowest level is used as a drag. Six lowest level of a square and three levels on top of a circle and one of the highest levels of Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. In accordance madhhabs Mahayana Buddhism, every person who wants to reach the level as the Buddha had to through every level of life is.

The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing human beings that are still bound by lust. Four levels above referred Rupadhatu symbolizes man who had to break free from lust but still bound manner and form. On this terrace, Buddha effigies are placed in open space. Meanwhile, three levels above where the Buddhist stupas are laid in holes called Arupadhatu, symbolizing man who has been free from lust, appearance, and shape. The top part is called Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing.

Each terrace has beautiful relief panels showing how skillful. Relief that will be read coherently when you walk in a clockwise direction (towards the left of the entrance of the temple).

For example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting the advance of agriculture system and relief of sailing boat representing the advance of the voyage who was based in Bergotta (Semarang).

All relief panels in Borobudur temple reflect the Buddha's teachings. Hence, this temple functions as educating the media for people who want to learn Buddhism. YogYES invites you to surround each of the narrow alleys of Borobudur for to understand the philosophy of Buddhism. Atisha, a Buddhist from India in the 10th century, had visited the temple that was built 3 centuries before Angkor Wat in Cambodia and 4 centuries before the Grand Cathedrals in Europe.

Thanks to visiting Borobudur and armed with a script from Serlingpa Buddhism (one of the king of the Kingdom of Sriwijaya), Atisha was able to develop Buddhism. He became head Vikramasila monastery and taught Tibetans of practicing Dharma. Six manuscripts of Serlingpa was condensed into a core course called "The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" or better known by the name Bodhipathapradipa.

One of the questions still unanswered about Borobudur is how the condition around the temple was built and why the temple was found in the buried state. Some say Borobudur initially stood surrounded by a swamp and then buried by the eruption of Merapi. Calcutta is essentially the inscription reads 'Amawa' means sea of ​​milk. The word is then interpreted as lava of Merapi. Some other says that Borobudur buried by cold lava of Merapi.

With all the grandeur and mystery that is, only natural that many people from all world penjru include Borobudur as a place worth visiting in his life.

GAMELAN PERFORMANCES (the javanes orkestra)

Gamelan is the music created by the blend of sound gong, kenong and other Javanese musical instruments. Soft music rhythm and harmony of living reflects the Javanese will soon greet and soothe the soul so heard.

Gamelan, Orchestra a la Java

Gamelan is surely not a foreign music. Its popularity has penetrated every continent and has created a new blend of jazz-gamelan music, gave birth to the institution as a learning space and the expression of gamelan music, to produce famous gamelan musicians. Gamelan music instrument can now be enjoyed in many parts of the world, but Yogyakarta is the most appropriate place to enjoy gamelan it since you can enjoy the original version.

Gamelan developing in Yogyakarta is Javanese gamelan, a form of gamelan is different from Balinese gamelan or Sundanese gamelan. Javanese gamelan has a softer tone and slow, in contrast to the dynamic Balinese gamelan and Sundanese gamelan highly dominated lilting voice and flute. The difference is reasonable, since Java has a view of life that is expressed in the rhythm of gamelan music.

Javanese philosophy of life expressed in gamelan music is the harmony of physical and spiritual life, harmony in speaking and acting so as not to create an explosive expression and create tolerance among fellow. Real form of music is the pull string fiddle that is, a balanced blend of sound kenong, saron drums and xylophone and gong sounds on every cover of rhythm.

There is no definite history of gamelan. The development is expected since the emergence of gamelan music gong, fiddle, clapping to the mouth, the friction on a thin rope or bamboo to familiar musical instruments from metal. Further development after named gamelan, the music was used to accompany wayang performance, and dance. Later it became independent as the music itself and equipped with the voice of sinden.

A set of gamelan consist of several instruments, including a set of similar musical instrument drum called a drum, fiddle and zither, xylophone, gongs and bamboo flutes. The main components that make up the gamelan music instruments are bamboo, metal, and wood. Each instrument has its own function in gamelan music show, for example gong music played to close a long and give the balance after the previous music rhythm decorated by gising.

Javanese gamelan is music with pentatonic melodies. A complete gamelan game consists of two rounds, namely slendro and pelog. Slendro has 5 tones per octave, ie 1 2 3 5 6 [C-D E + GA] with a small interval difference. Pelog has 7 tones per octave, ie 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [C + D E-F # G # AB] with a large interval difference. Gamelan music compositions created by some rules, which consist of several rounds and pathet, bordered by one gongan and the melody was created within the unit that consists of 4 tones.

You can see gamelan as an independent music performance or a dance or performing arts such as wayang kulit and ketoprak. As a performance, gamelan music is usually combined with the sound of the Javanese singers (male singers and female singers called wiraswara called waranggana). Gamelan music performances that performance can be classical or contemporary gamelan. One form of contemporary gamelan music is jazz-gamelan music as a combination of pentatonic and diatonic.

One of the places in Yogyakarta where you can see performances of gamelan is the Sultan's Palace. On Thursday at 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. gamelan as an independent music performance. On Saturday at the same time as the accompaniment of gamelan music performed wayang kulit, while on Sunday at the same time as the accompaniment of gamelan music performed traditional Javanese dance. To see the show, you can go to Sri Maganti Ward. As for seeing the old Gamelan, you can go to another hall of the kingdom which lies further to the rear.

Wayang Kulit, Masterpiece of Java Art Performance

Night in Yogyakarta will feel alive if you miss it by looking at the shadow puppets. The dynamic rhythm of the gamelan blends with the melodious voice sinden will not let you fall in sleepiness. The story that brought the mastermind will bring you go in to be dissolved if one of the characters in the story that was delivered. You will soon realize how great of Javanese culture in the past.

Wayang kulit is performance art that has been aged for more than half a millennium. Appearance has its own story, related to the influx of Javanese Islam. One member of the Wali Songo created by adopting Wayang Beber that developed in the heyday of Hindu-Buddhist. Adoption was done because the puppet already attached to the Java so that it becomes an excellent medium for spreading propaganda of Islam, while Islam forbids visual art form. As a result, created shadow puppets where one can only see shadows.

Leather puppet show performed by a man who would be called the greatest public entertainer in the world. How not, during the night, the mastermind behind the whole character actor plays a leather puppet which represents the puppets made from buffalo leather with decorated motif carving handicraft decoration (carving the skin). He had to change the voice character, changing intonation, issued jokes and even singing. To turn the atmosphere, the puppeteer who is assisted by musicians playing the gamelan and the sinden who sing songs of Java.

Puppet characters in total amounted to hundreds. People not puppets being played is placed in banana stems that are near the mastermind. When played, the puppets will appear as shadows on the white screen in front of the puppeteer. The shadow is created because each puppet show using oil lamps as lighting that helps the puppets being played.

Each leather puppet show or play presents a different story. Variety of play is divided into 4 categories namely grip play, play carangan, play spin-off and the play yard. The play grip has a story based entirely on library puppet plays while in outline only carangan only sourced in puppet library. The play does not stem from the spin-off puppet story but wearing the appropriate places in the library of the puppet, while the play is entirely written by freelance.

Puppet story originated from some old manuscripts such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Pustaka Raja Purwa and Purwakanda. Now, there are also books containing the story and essay composition which for hundreds of years has been appreciated by the public Abhimanyu Kerem, Doraweca, Suryatmaja Burglar and so forth. Among all the old books are used, the Book Purwakanda is the most frequently used by puppeteers from the Sultan Palace. Leather puppet show begins when the puppeteer has issued mountains. An all-night wayang performance Yogyakarta style is divided into 3 rounds which has 7 lined (scene) and 7 scenes of war. First round, called pathet lasem, has 3 lined and 2 scenes of war that accompanied gising-gising pathet lasem. Pathet Sanga who became the second half has 2 lined and 2 scenes of war, while the Pathet Manura the third round has 2 lined and 3 scenes of war. One of the most anticipated part of many people at every wayang performance is because of the joke-joke presents typical Java.

Sasono Hinggil located in the northern town of South Square is the most frequent events held all-night wayang performances, usually held every second and fourth week began at 21.00 pm. Other places are Sri Maganti ward located in the Sultan's Palace. Wayang Kulit in the ward was performed for 2 hours starting at 10:00 am every Saturday

WARUNGBOTO

A beautiful ancient water gardens and designed very private Warungboto can be found in the region. Water park is located between Pesanggarahan Warungboto who now lives debris.



Pesanggrahan Warungboto and Enchantment of the 19th Century Water Garden

When passing the Veterans Road (the road that leads to the right of the intersection before Zoo Fun Loka) and found the remains of buildings such as houses, you probably will ignore it and think that the building was an ordinary building. But, from now on, you must know that the building was quite historic because it is one building that was built by Hamengkubuwono II.

Evidence that these buildings are historic buildings termuatnya name in a song about a macapat Hamengkubuwono II. In these songs, this building was not mentioned by name Pesanggrahan Warungboto as many people call it now, but with the name Pesanggrahan Rejowinangun. Overall, macapat song itself tells of the progress made during Hamengkubuwono II.

Visiting pesanggrahan for some might be boring, because there was no grandeur that can be enjoyed. But is not no tourist should visit the magnificent places? Simple places, even the rubble had lived, would have an attraction. YogYES who visited this place a few days ago can still find beauty in some corners even though many parts of the building that has been damaged.

We began exploring the building slowly from the front or directly adjacent to the highway. This front section of a square with a floor made of stucco. Being situated at the front, maybe this section serves as a hall or lobby as in many existing buildings. From the front, one can see views of the entire complex pesanggrahan.

In the left part there are stairs leading down a fairly narrow. We can immediately guess that this pesanggrahan initially consist of two floors, like other pesanggrahan consisting of ground floor and basement. To descend need to be careful, because the sides do not have a handle and a lot of parts that have been overgrown with moss so slippery.

In the basement of this, many fascinating parts of the building can be seen. The most beautiful is the garden area equipped with two ponds. The first pond was a circle 4.5 meters in diameter and its center has a water fountain or pennant source. Meanwhile, the second pond the size of a square with sides of 10 meters x 4 meters. Both ponds were interconnected, characterized by the hole of water channels that can be seen clearly from the second pond.

We really feel impressed with the architecture pesanggrahan while in this garden area. How not, the building that was built in the 1800s has been to design a garden with ponds that are private, surrounded by the buildings around it, so not visible from the outside. In addition, the walls surrounding it also looked high and thick, indicating the robustness of the building in the past.

To the north and south of the pond there is the door is wide enough plays. The door that connects with other parts of the basement. In the eastern part of the pool will be found the windows of three pieces, one square shape and the other two arch shape on the top .. While in the western part of the pool there is a curved-top door, menghgubungkan with the next two curved doors which are equipped with some stairs. Two last door connecting the garden area which is under the ground with the ground floor.

If you go back to the ground floor and explore the south side of the building, will be found some debris wall. Possibly, the wall was a barrier between spaces pesanggrahan. There is a unique part of the wall, because the surface is not smooth, may once have ornaments. One wall is still very strong at the very front of the south side. On the wall, there are several square-shaped window.

Actually, as recorded by the Department of Antiquities in 1980, still there are some decorations that can be encountered. Among a garuda statue that is on the south side, a dragon statue that is on the east side and the flower pot, which is one component of the pond. Unfortunately, YogYES not see him during a visit despite venture into every corner. Maybe you can find if you visit this place. Who knows just us who missed it?

If you want to visit, you can get through some alternative path. Most easily when you visit before or after trips to the region Kotagede. If you visited prior to Kotagede, you can pass Kusumanegara Road to reach the crossroad SGM milk factory, then turn right. Meanwhile, if the visit after the Kotagede, you live through Ngeksigondo Road to the west to the crossroad of the post fuel injection Gambiran and turn right.

Guesthouse is quite easy to reach and can be visited without the cost of a penny. One is for sure, your tour to Yogyakarta will be more complete because it can visit Pesanggrahan Warungboto who reputedly used by the Palace Ngayogyakarta to meditate and undergo behavior is concerned

PANGGUNG KRAPYAK

Stage Krapyak is building almost 250 years old known as the hunting ground of the kings of Yogyakarta Sultanate. Standing in an area formerly known as Forest Krapyak, where Panembahan Senopati son died.



Stage Krapyak, Kings Place Hunting

Once Krapyak region, which is now in the south of Yogyakarta Palace, once a dense forest. Various species of wild animals found here, one deer or in Javanese called deer. No wonder when this region was widely used as a hunting ground by the Kings of Mataram.

Who bear the title Raden Mas Jolang Hanyokrowati King, the second king of the Kingdom of Mataram Islam and son Panembahan Senopati, is one of the king who utilize Krapyak Forest as a place to hunt. In 1613, he had an accident in the hunt and eventually died here. He was buried in Kotagede and given the title Panembahan Krapyak Seda (mean king who died at Forest Krapyak).

Another king who likes to hunt in the Forest Krapyak was Prince Mangkubumi (lane I). He was the one who founded the Stage Krapyak more than 140 years after the death of King Hanyokrowati in this forest. Krapyak stage is an indication that the region's history Krapyak never be used as a hunting area. If interested, you can come with a drive to the south of the South Square, past the Plengkung Ivory and Jalan DI Panjaitan. Krapyak stage will be found after driving about 3 miles, located right in the middle of the road.

Building Stage Krapyak rectangular area of ​​17.6 mx 15 m. The walls are made of red brick covered with cement cast and arranged upward as high as 10 m. Wall sections now appear black, indicating the age of almost equal age of Yogyakarta, a quarter millennium. The building appears to be still strong, although some parts were damaged by the earthquake on 27 May 2006.

The architecture is quite unique stage. Each side of the building has a door and two windows. Doors and windows it just be a hole, without a cover. The bottom of the door and the window is square but the top curved, like the design of doors and windows in the mosque-masijd.

The building stage is divided into two floors. The first floor has 4 rooms and a short hallway that connects the door from each side. When the sun shines bright, the light will penetrate into the first floor of the building through doors and windows. The presence of sunlight to make parents feel created by the condition of the building and the air is more humid and cooler will be immediately ambushed.

If to one room in the southeast and southwest of the building and look up, you can see a hole wide enough. From the hole that the kings who wanted to hunt heading into the second floor (which is useful as a hunting ground) with the help of a wooden ladder now could not be found anymore. By looking up too, you can know that there is a roof to shade the hole that now has collapsed, may be useful to prevent water entry.

At first glance, this building illustrates the comfort obtained by the king, even when hunting. The height of buildings to make the king hunting with a sense of comfort and safety, free spy without worrying attacked by wild animals when hunting. Second floor of this place was quite comfortable, in the form of ample open space and bordered by a fence with a height being perforated.

The height of this building is causing some people suspect that the Stage Krapyak also used as a defense post. Perhaps, from this place the enemy movement from the south can be monitored so that it can provide early warning to the Sultan's Palace in case of attack. The soldiers were alternately assigned to guard in this place, as well as practicing hunting and sporting kanuragan (ability to fight).

Stage Krapyak including building situated on the imaginary axis of Yogyakarta city, connecting Mount Merapi, Tugu Jogja, Kraton Yogyakarta, Stage Krapyak and the South Seas. Axis Stage Krapyak up to the Palace described the human journey from birth to adulthood. Areas around the stage symbolizes human life while still in the womb, characterized by the village to the north of Stage Mijen Krapyak as a symbol of human seed.

Visiting Stage Krapyak, meaning visiting one of the buildings important to the Sultan's Palace.
