Mataram Kingdom

English (EN)

Mataram Kingdom was a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist kingdom that flourished from the 8th to 11th centuries. It is remembered for its monumental temple construction, including the world-famous borobudur and prambanan.

Two Dynasties

  • Sanjaya Dynasty: Built the magnificent Hindu temple of prambanan, dedicated to Trimurti (Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma).
  • Sailendra Dynasty: Built the world’s largest Buddhist monument, borobudur, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Cultural Achievement

The Mataram Kingdom saw a golden age of Javanese art, literature, and architecture. The harmonious coexistence of Hindu and Buddhist traditions during this period is remarkable and unique in world history.

Decline

In the early 11th century, Mataram declined due to internal power struggles and volcanic eruptions (Mount Merapi), and the political center shifted eastward to the Kediri region.
