Jathilan

Posted by Lambang Insiwarifianto 0 komentar

It is really a pride that the Art Market of Gabusan, which is located on kilometer 9,7 on Yogyakarta – Parangtritis Street, with its specific building capable to receive 600 craft makers. It is not existing in other regencies and even in other countries in Indonesia.

However, behind the pride there is a worry that the Gabusan will have same destiny like LIK (Small Industry Area), which was build in New Order. But, the officers of Bantul Regency has thought and watched it since a long time before it was built. The solution is the Art Market of Gabusan is not used to invite tourists, who picnic to Parangtritis beach merely. On the paper view, it will be great for Bantul, if half from two millions Parangtritis beach tourists per year visit Gabusan. It must make the international level market becomes more live.

Seemingly, the government of Bantul Regency doesn’t dream to depend on the tourists’ visit. The people of Bantul Regency, as many times, appealed by the Regent of Bantul (at that time the regent was Drs HM Idham Samawi) must have a feeling that the Art Market of Gabusan is belonging to them.

Thus, there are week programs to enliven the Art Market of Gabusan. The attractive traditional art of Jathilan or Crazy Horse is performed there. The performance of Gagak Rimang group, which was performed on last Sunday, December 12, was out of prediction. It because the crazy horse rider who was possessed was more than 2 persons.

For the photographer or cameraman, it became attractive report. But, out of prediction, a man wearing black dress walked to close the photographer of Bantulbiz.com, who was taking photo. Calmly, the 27 years old man warned and suggested the reporter of Bantulbiz.com to keep the camera in the bag. How could it so? The young man answered calmly: “This time is really incredible. The spirits possessing the jathilan players are from the palace.” No doubt, the camera was put in the bag immediately (The reporter may be scared if he will be possessed).
Before the activity began, mbah Sudiprawiro, 89 years old, looked like reading spells near the crazy horse while sometimes put incense on the coal, which created white-thick smoke.“What did it mean, mbah?” the reporter of Bantulbiz.com curiously asked after the rite ceremony finished. “I beg permission from the spirits in here to make the performance goes well.

I also beg helps, if there will be ‘smart’ person (have an ability to invite spirit), who will do bad action and disturb this jathilan performance.

King Boko temple is located some 19 km at the eastern side of Yogyakarta, and about two kilometers from Prambanan Temple.
The scenery of its surroundings is quite beautiful

This archeological site lies on a small plateau about 196 meter above the sea level. The remains cover the areas of two villages, Dawung and Sambirejo, belong to Yogyakarta Special Territory Province, about 3 km to the south of Prambanan Temples. The views from the plateau's ridge are most beautiful during the dawn or in the late afternoon.

The Ratu Boko structure are devided into three clusters. The first consits of an impressive gateway and a large stone structure with a central depression-perhaps ancient crematorium. The second set of ruins lies a few hundred metres 500th. These consists of several stone fondations and enclosures, including a set of bathing pools. The third cluster, several hundred metres north of the first enclosure, consists of two artificial meditation caves, a square pool and a staircase.

Its specialty and uniqueness lie in its location and kind of building which are different from other remains in the same age. The name "Ratu Boko Palace" (The Palace of the Eternal Queen) was given by the locals just based on a legend of Ratu Boko (or Baka, the eternal), Rara Jonggrang's father.

Ratu Boko was probably built in about the 8th century by the Buddhist Sailendras and later took over by Hindu Mataram. Van Boecjholzt discovered it in 1790. In 1989 - 1990, P. Subroto in his research concluded that there is a lot of similarities between the components of Ratu Boko Palace and some early palaces in India. Who was the founder? How long had it been dwelled? We haven't known them until today. In fact, we even haven't known the function. Was it used as a royal park, a palace, a fort or a shrine temple?

History

An ancient inscription made by Rakai Panangkaran around 746-184 AD said that at the beginning buildings around Ratu Boko heritage site is called Abhayagiri Wihara. Abhaya means no danger or peace. Wihara is monk's dormitory located at the peaceful area on top of the hill.

Many scientists like HJ DeGraff, Van Boeckholtz, Makenzie, Junghun and Brumun attracted to make research and report their founding about the heritage site at Ratu Boko Hill. Later, FDK Bosch made a research and reported it which entitled "Kraton Van Ratoe Boko.
According to FDK Bosch, the site at Ratu Boko Hill is known as kraton Ratu Boko. People who live around the site usually call it as Dawung Temple just like name of their village.
That is why in some literatures and old map, Ratu Boko Hill written in 2 names : Dawung Temple and Kraton Ratu Boko van Ratoe Boko.
The name of Kraton Ratu Boko comes from the word Kraton and Ratu Boko. Kraton is from Ka-da-tu-an taht means King's or Rakai's Place. Ratu Boko comes from the word Ratu which has the meaning as king and Boko is heron.
This understanding comes up with a question whether the King of Heron is the ruler himself or the real bird. Therefor, people say that Ratu Boko keeps a mystery up to now.
