The site of Ratu Boko was the last place we visited that day. The second day in Yogyakarta, we visited three temples at once. Someone suggest us, don't go to the three temples in one day at a time. Because there will not be enough time. The distance between Borobudur, Prambanan, and Ratu Boko is quite far away.
Situs Ratu Boko adalah tempat terakhir yang kami kunjungi pada hari itu. Hari kedua berada di Yogyakarta, kami berkunjung ke tiga candi sekaligus. Ada yang menyarankan untuk tidak pergi ke tiga candi dalam masa satu hari sekaligus. Karena tidak akan cukup waktu. Jarak antara Borobudur, Prambanan, dan Ratu Boko ini lumayan jauh.
It is true, we must be willing to visit the last two temples can only be done in a very short time. We could not linger because it was getting dark. Me and @fariarizky just spent time to take pictures in Prambanan. After that, we left. That's because we want to visit the site of Ratu Boko.
Memang benar, kami harus rela kunjungan dua candi terakhir hanya bisa dilakukan dalam waktu yang sangat singkat. Kami tidak bisa berlama-lama karena hari mulai gelap. Saya dan @fararizky hanya menghabiskan waktu untuk berfoto di Prambanan. Setelah itu kami pergi. Itu karena kami ingin berkunjung ke situs Ratu Boko.
Ratu Boko is actually not a temple, it is a palace of a kingdom. This statement is supported by the form of Ratu Boko which is like an entrance gate and there is a dry trench around it as a base of defense.
Ratu Boko ini sebenarnya bukan candi, ia adalah sebuah keraton dari sebuah kerajaan. Pernyataan ini didukung oleh bentuk Ratu Boko yang bagaikan gapura masuk dan ada parit kering di sekelilingnya sebagai basis pertahanan.
Ratu Boko comes from the Javanese language (Ratu Baka) which means King of Stork. he is the father of Loro Jonggrang, which is the name of the main temple in Prambanan. The site of Ratu Boko is estimated to have been used in the 8th century, that is during the time of Wangsa Sailendra or Rakai Panangkaran from Medang kingdom, Mataram Hindu. Around the site, found an inscription that mentions Rakai Panangkaran name.
Ratu Boko berasal dari bahasa Jawa (Ratu Baka) yang artinya Raja Bangau. ia adalah ayah dari Loro Jonggrang, yang merupakan nama dari candi utama di Prambanan. Situs Ratu Boko ini diperkirakan sudah digunakan pada masa abad ke 8, yaitu pada masa Wangsa Sailendra atau Rakai Panangkaran dari kerajaan Medang, Mataram Hindu. Di sekitar situs, ditemukan prasasti yang menyebutkan nama Rakai Panangkaran.
We arrived at Ratu Boko at 5.30 PM. The site closed at 6.00 PM, that is meaning we only had 30 minutes to visit. However, there is a special atmosphere when visiting this site. We enjoyed the afternoon view from the top of the hill and waited for sunset to appear between the gates of Ratu Boko temple. The spacious and clean garden became the gathering place for the visitors waiting for the azan maghrib to arrive.
Kami tiba di Ratu Boko pukul 17.30. Situs ditutup pukul 18.00, berarti kami hanya punya waktu 30 menit untuk berkunjung. Namun, ada suasana spesial saat mengunjungi situs ini. Kami menikmati pemandangan sore dari atas bukit dan menunggu sunset muncul di antara celah-celah gapura candi Ratu Boko. Taman yang luas dan bersih menjadi tempat berkumpulnya pengunjung menunggu azan maghrib tiba.
That's a beautiful sunset... I haven't been to Indonesia... i'll include it to my list :)
