Panangkaran

Panangkaran

Panangkaran was the ruler of Mataram Kingdom between AD 760—780, the kingdom of which its power centralized on Java island of Indonesia. Crowned as Rakai Panangkaran, he was the immediate successor of Sri Sanjaya, the founder of Sanjaya Dynasty. The name of Panangkaran is mentioned in the Balitung charter (found in the Kedu Plain area) as the line of kings who were named as the 'builders of kraton'.cite journal |journal=Indonesia |title=King Sañjaya and His Successors |author=W.

In the late eighth and early ninth centuries, Java observed rivalries between two dynasties. The first four Sanjaya Dynasty lines after King Sanjaya (Panangkaran, Panunggalan, Warak and Garung), which was known as the "Amrati Kings", competed over their power and religious influences with the Sailendras princes in the south of central Java who had arisen since 779. The Sanjayas were Hindus while Sailendras were Buddhists. There was only an isolated kingship in the east of Java, Gajayana, who appeared to have control over the Mount Kawi region in 760.

Although relationship between the Amrati Kings with Sailendra was important at that time, the rivalries between the two is still unclear. From the Kalasan and Ratu Boko inscriptions, there were stated that Panangkaran granted permission requested by the collective "guru" of the Sailendra king to build Buddhist sculptures, shrines and monastries in honor to the goddess Tara. The construction was built under Panangkaran's supervision, but was supported by Sailendra's expenses. One of the construction results is the colossal Buddhist temple of Borobudur, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991. [cite web|url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/592|accessdate=2006-12-05|title=Borobudur Temple Compounds|publisher=UNESCO|work=UNESCO World Heritage Centre] In order to show his respect to the "guru", Panangkaran consented the building of the shrine by giving the village of Kalasan to the Buddhist community.
