EARLY JAVANESE KINGDOMS


The island's exceptional fertility allowed the development of an intensive sawah (wet rise) agriculture
,which in turn reguired close cooperation betwen villages,out of village aliances,small kingdoms developed,
including that of King Purnawarman of Taruma,but the first major principality was that of King Sanjaya.
who founded the Mtaram Kingdom at the religion centred on the Hindu god Shiva,and produced some of java's earliest Hindu temples on the Dieng Plateau.

                                The Sailendra dynasty followed,over seeing Buddism continued to coexiist and the massive Hindu Prambanan complex was contructed within a century of Borobudur.Mataram eventually fell,perhaps at the hands of the Sumatra-based Sriwijaya kingdom,which invaded java in the 11th century.however,javanese power began its revival in 1019 under King Airlangga,a royal link betwen the island and bali.depite his role as a unifier.
