Mount Bromo - The Beatiful Mount From East Java
 |
| Bromo mountain is shrouded in the morning mist |
Mount Bromo (Indonesian: Gunung Bromo), is an active
volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At
2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is
the most well known. The massif area is one of the most visited tourist
attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo
Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese
pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.
Mount
Bromo sits in the middle of a vast plain called the "Sea of Sand"
(Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature
reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the
nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to
walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take
an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount
Penanjakan (2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The
best views from Mount Bromo to the Sand Sea below and the surrounding
volcanoes are at sunrise. The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be
reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is
collected by workers.

| Rice Fields Near Mount Bromo |
On the fourteenth day of the Hindu festival of Yadnya Kasada, the
Tenggerese people of Probolinggo, East Java, travel up the mountain in
order to make offerings of fruit, rice, vegetables, flowers and
sacrifices of livestock to the mountain gods by throwing them into the
caldera of the volcano. The origin of the ritual lies in the 15th
century legend where a princess named Roro Anteng started the
principality of Tengger with her husband, Joko Seger. The couple were
childless and therefore beseeched the assistance of the mountain gods.
The gods granted them 24 children but stipulated that the 25th child,
named Kesuma, must be thrown into the volcano as a human sacrifice. The
gods' request was implemented. The tradition of throwing sacrifices into
the volcano to appease these ancient deities continues today and is
called the Yadnya Kasada ceremony. Though fraught with danger, some
locals risk climbing down into the crater in an attempt to recollect the
sacrificed goods that they believe could bring them good luck.

| Pura Luhur Poten At Mount Bromo |
On
the Segara Wedi sand plain sits a Hindu temple called Pura Luhur Poten.
The temple holds a significant importance to the Tenggerese scattered
across the mountain villages, such as Ngadisari, Wonokitri, Ngadas,
Argosari, Ranu Prani, Ledok Ombo and Wonokerso. The temple organises the
annual Yadnya Kasada ceremony which lasts for about one month. On the
14th day, the Tenggerese congregate at Pura Luhur Poten to ask for
blessings from Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa and the God of Mahameru (Mount
Semeru). Then the crowd proceeds along the crater edges of Mt Bromo
where offerings are thrown into the crater. The major difference between
this temple and Balinese ones are the type of stones and building
materials. Pura Luhur Poten uses natural black stones from volcanoes
nearby, while Balinese temples are mostly made from red bricks. Inside
this pura, there are several buildings and enclosures aligned in a
mandala zone composition.

Candi Borobudur
Candi Borobudur is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. Founded by a king of the Saliendra dynasty, it was built to honour the glory of both the Buddha and its founder, a true king Bodhisattva. The name Borobudur is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit words vihara Buddha uhr, meaning the Buddhist monastery on the hill. Candi Borobudur is located in Muntilan, Magelang, and is about 42 km from Yogyakarta city.
 |
| One Of Stupa Candi Borobudur |
Candi Borobudur is built to represent many layers of Buddhist theory. From a birds eye view, the temple is in the shape of a traditional Buddhist mandala. A mandala is central to a great deal of Buddhist and Hindu art, the basic form of most Hindu and Buddhist mandalas is a square with four entry points, and a circular centre point. Working from the exterior to the interior, three zones of consciousness are represented, with the central sphere representing unconsciousness or Nirvana.
The total of 504 Buddhas are in meditative pose, and the 6 different hand positions represented throughout the temple, often according to the direction the Buddha faces.. It also depicts the gupta style from India and shows influence of Buddhism as well as Hinduism. The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around the monument and ascends to the top through three levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology: Kamadhatu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades.

| Entering Candi Borobudur |
Evidence suggest Candi 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. Candi Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Candi Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.

The Buddha statues are in niches at the Rupadhatu level, arranged in rows on the outer sides of the balustrades, the number of statues decreasing as platforms progressively diminish to the upper level. The first balustrades have 104 niches, the second 104, the third 88, the fourth 72 and the fifth 64. In total, there are 432 Buddha statues at the Rupadhatu level. At the Arupadhatu level (or the three circular platforms), Buddha statues are placed inside perforated stupas.

Ujung Kulon National Park Resort
Ujung Kulon is the last remaining viable natural refuge for Javan rhinoceros; Javan tiger was locally extirpated about 40 years ago. The last sanctuary of the Javan rhinoceros, the Ujung Kulon National Park is the triangular peninsula situated at the south western-most tip of Java. Ujung Kulon is Indonesia is first and prime National Park, which was designated as a nature reserve since 1921.
This is the largest remaining lowland tropical rainforest ecosystem in West Java. And, together with the awesome Krakatau volcano the 137,000 hectares Park was declared Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
 |
| Ujung Kulon National Park |
Other notable mammals include carnivores, such as leopard, wild dog (dhole), leopard cat, fishing cat, Javan mongoose and several civets. Of the primates, the endemic species Javan gibbon and Javan leaf monkey occur locally along with the endemic silvered leaf monkey, while crab-eating macaque is found throughout the park. Several ungulates range within the park, of which the largest and most abundant is banteng. A rich avifauna is present with over 270 species recorded. Terrestrial reptiles and amphibians include two species of python, as well as two crocodiles and numerous frogs and toads. Green turtle is known to nest within the park.
The rich coral reefs of the Ujung Kulon coast are dominated by a small number of species that make up some 90% of the coral mass; the marine areas of Ujung Kulon support some of the richest fish fauna in the archipelago, with both deep water and reef species well represented.
Pulau Panaitan has a Ganesha statue on the summit of Mount Raksa, an early Hindu archaeological relic from the 1st century AD, and the island is thought to have been an important staging post for sailing ships passing through the Sunda Straits. Captain James Cook is known to have anchored HMS Endeavour on the south-eastern side of Panaitan Island from 6-16 January 1771.
Ujung Kulon is a triangular peninsula protruding from the south-west extremity of mainland Java, to which it is joined by a low isthmus some 1-2 km wide. The topography is dominated in the south-west by the three north-south aligned ridges of the Gunung Payung massif, with the peaks of Gunung Payung, Gunung Guhabendang and Gunung Cikuja forming the highest points on the peninsula. To the north-east, the relief attenuates to the low rolling hills and plains of the Telanca Plateau, and ultimately to the low-lying swamps in the region of the isthmus. To the east, the Gunung Honje massif forms the mainland component of the park. Coastal formations include a number of raised coral islands and their associated fringing reefs which lie off the northern coast of the peninsula, the largest of these being Pulau Handeuleum. To the south, the coastline is characterized by sand dune formations, areas of raised coral reef, and further west a long stretch of undermined and shattered sandstone slabs. Extensive coral reefs and spectacular volcanic formations occur along the exposed and broken west coast.
Geologically, Ujung Kulon, Gunung Honje and Pulau Panaitan are part of a young Tertiary mountain system, which overlies the pre-Tertiary strata of the Sunda Shelf. Lying on the edge of the tectonically active Sunda Shelf, Krakatau Nature Reserve comprises the central island of Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatau), and the peripheral islands of Rakata, Payang and Sertung with their surrounding coral reefs. These peripheral islands form the remnants of a single volcano ('Ancient Krakatau') which exploded and collapsed some 1,500 years ago leaving three remnant cones.
Vegetation has been subject to a number of anthropogenic and natural modifications, of which the most notable is the Krakatau eruption of 1883. As a result, primary lowland rainforest, the natural vegetation cover, now occupies only 50% of the total area, being largely confined to the Gunung Payung and Honje massifs.
A tall closed canopy forest occurs on Gunung Payung, on Pulau Peucang; vegetation of the Telanca Plateau and central lowlands is a more open secondary forest. Occurring along the northern promontory of Ujung Kulon near Tanjung, alang-alang is a seasonally inundated freshwater swamp forest. Mangrove forest occurs in a broad belt along the northern side of the isthmus, extending northwards as far as the Cikalong River, as well as to the north of Pulau Handeuleum and on the north-east coast of Pulau Panaitan. Beach forest occurs on nutrient-poor sandy ridges on the north and north-west coasts of Ujung Kulon.
To get here from Jakarta, you can drive to Serang (Banten Province) via highway, then continue to Labuan, which will take approximately 1.5 hours. Ujung Kulon can be reached by chartered speedboat from Labuan to Pulau Peucang, which takes about 5 hours. Or you can travel for 3.5 hours by car from Labuan to Tamanjaya,where the excursion into the park usually starts. A number of tour companies in Jakarta organize visits to Krakatau and Ujung Kulon.
Tips for visitors
- Bring food and beverages as well as personal medicines, including malaria tablets. Don't forget to take malaria tablets before and after the trip.
- To avoid the adverse effect of severe heat, smear uncovered skin with sunblock and to protect your health, use antimosquito cream while traversing the forest.
- Wear muted-color garments while watching animals in their habitat or grazing locations.
- Don't visit Ujung Kulon National Park during the rainy season and the west monsoon. Bad weather usually hits that region from November to March.
- For safety's sake during a trip, every group of tourists is advised to use the services of a local guide.
- Don't disturb or feed wild animals in the national park, especially long-tailed macaques on Peucang island, which look so tame.
- Don't throw rubbish in the park, but collect and take it back to the guest house or outside the park. Obey all regulations effective in the national park and also the local customs.
Wayang Kulit Indonesia
 |
| WAYANG KULIT |
Wayang Kulit is the ancient Indonesian art of shadow play and a unique combination of ritual, lesson, and entertainment. Lacy shadow images are projected on a taught linen screen with a coconut oil lamp or electric light. The Dalang, or shadow artist, manipulates carved leather figures between the lamp and the screen to bring the shadows to life. Where the storyline sinden sing about shadow puppets and accompanied by gamelan music.
Many styles of Gamelan instruments exist throughout Indonesia. Each area has a slightly different approach to accompaniment, though most share the same root traditions. Gamelan players respond to the spontaneous timing and direction of the Dalang. The repertoire typically consists of an overture, music for traveling, character pieces, and battle music.
Wayang, in modern Indonesian language, is loosely translated to mean puppet. Kulit means skin or leather, the material from which the figures are carved. The Indonesian word for shadow, bayang, is clearly related and some would call it the origin of the word. But, Wayang is not always in shadow. In the old languages, the term Wayang reportedly originates from two earlier words: Waya = ancestors descending, and Ang = a symbol.
 |
| THE DALANG SHOW |
Most shadow play is based on two epic stories from India. The Mahabarata and it's sister work, the Ramayana, elegantly depict eastern philosophies which have inspired many cultures. The Balinese and Javanese have combined the Hindu stories with Buddhist and Muslim ideas and their own folk lore. Usually, these stories are divided into many different episodes. Some episodes are purely Indonesian creations based on the epics.
Other stories from Indonesian history and myth are occasionally performed. Some favorites include Kala Rau - the eclipse of the moon, Calonarang - a call to witches, and Panji -Javanese folk tales.
The Dalang chooses a story appropriate to the village or venue sponsoring the performance. This choice is made to illustrate a useful moral. Upon arriving to perform, the Dalang asks about current local events and uses the story to illustrate solutions.
The Dalang tells the story, manipulates all the figures, interprets characters and voices for each, and produces sound effects punctuating speech and movement. The Dalang also sings, cues the musical accompaniment, speaks several languages, and blesses the performance and surrounding area with mantras.
Dalang usually make most of the their own Wayang figures, eventually passing the craft to younger members of the family. Many Dalang are also wood carvers, painters, dancers, musicians, and priests. They are an integral part of Indonesian society and merit the highest respect of the people.
