Bajang Ratu Temple


Bajang Ratu Temple, is a kingdom of Majapahit relics of the temple, the temple is located in the region Trowulan, Mojokerto, and the story was this temple is one of the gate at the time of Majapahit kingdom.
Mengutif books from Drs I.G. Good L Arnawa, seen from the gate or the shape of this temple is a building gate type "paduraksa" the gate that has a roof. Overall, this temple made of brick, except the floor staircase and the doors are made of stone andesit. The building is 11.5 m long and 10.5 m wide, 16.5 m high and wide tunnel entrance 1.4 m.
Moment when we see this temple, can be divided in three vertical sections, namely legs, body, and the roof. In addition has a gate and fence walls on both sides. At the foot of the gate there are ornaments that teach the story "of Sri Tanjung," in the body above the threshold there with the usual ornaments spiraling suluran ornaments, and the ceiling there is a form of ornamentation enclosed lion head mare, relief sun, the dragon-legged, head garuda, and reliaef one-eyed cyclops or a monocle. Function of relief as repellent and protective peril. On the right wing there is a story of the Ramayana and the relief carvings of animals have ear length.
Temple Bajangratu suspected as the entrance to a building sacred to commemorate King wafatnya Jayanegara in the Saka year 1328 or 1250 CE. Bajangratu own in the ancient Javanese language means small, rising to become the king of the throne is still small, and perhaps it occurred in the King Jayanegara.
Bajangratu establishment of the temple itself is not known with certainty, but based on reliefs found in the building, estimated this temple was built in the century 13 - 14, and completed renovated in 1992.
Bajangratu location of the establishment of the temple is located relatively far (2 km) from the center of the canal waters Majapahit in the east, currently located in the Palace hamlets, villages Temon 0.7 km from the temple near the Rat. Reasons for the selection of this location, probably to get quiet and closeness with nature, but still controlled by evidence of the canal cross in front of the temple, a distance of less than 200 meters I direct to the middle of the canal system of Majapahit, shows close relationship with the central city of Majapahit.
The existence of this temple is also not clear from a belief that still adheres dibenak the local community. Is a taboo for government officials to cross or enter the gate of the temple Bajangratu this, because it can be trusted to give bad fortune. Can believe it or not, but there may be a good idea to try
