Trace the royal Pamalayu expedition Dharmasraya

Anyone ever heard of the expedition Pamalayu? if there is a new forgotten or even heard yuk recall the lessons of history, we are trying to recall Singosari kingdom at that time sent utusanya to the island of Sumatra to visit the kingdom and bring the statue Amoghapasa Dharmasraya as a gift. Yak quite up there just about knowledge of history, we no need to discuss too deep because there pelajaranya hehe, based on the history that may pose more questions now state the destination of the expedition Pamalayu how ya ?? I will tell the journey to and watched the royal sites Dharmasraya divided over the temple Padang Roco, I Sawah island temple, and the temple Rice Island II.

For the location of heritage sites kingdom Dharmasraya we had to cross the river Batang day, the crossing could be through derah Siguntur, for penyebrangannya we still use traditional transportation is arguably the locals as Ponton, these tools rely on steel ropes that tie across the river and using manpower to pull, imagine dong to cross the river was just beralatkan rope segede hehe, pontoon is the only means of transportation used local residents to cross the river rod days because there is still no bridge.

After crossing the river rod day we went on a trip to the notion Padang Roco, location area of rubber plantation residents, there we will see building terraces made of red brick, three sites in the temple complex field Roco this, each temple is covered with houses that are not easily damaged by weather. In place of Arca Amughapasa inilha discovery that became a gift to the king of Singosari Kingdom Dharmasraya.

Continuing the journey to the temple sites Island Sawah I, to discover the existence of this temple we need to walk about four kilometers through the fields of citrus citizens and passed the former rice field that is wide enough, it saah one reason why it was given the name of the temple Island Rice, because the first temple was dutemukan in the area of paddy, the temple is shaped like a star with a square hole in the middle with a depth of three meters, some say this place is a bathing pool king.

The last location we headed temple site Sawah Island II, this area is only visible foundation building resembles a royal castle, where the estimated location of the royal Dharmasraya is because the place is very strategically located in the highlands and near the river rod days.

So a little story that I can share may increase knowledge about Dharmasraya royal heritage sites. It is estimated that there are still many remaining buildings of historic and heritage-relics untapped, of any form of the temple is still necessary to improve again in order to shape according to the first time the building was used. Hopefully we can all learn from civilization in the past.
