Bajang Ratu Temple side view




In Hamlet Kraton Temon Village District Trowulan I tried to explore the kingdom of Majapahit, who supposedly said gate or queen Bajang temple built of bricks glued to each other degan rub system, except in the doorway and stairs made of andesite stone.
Rectangular building measuring 11.5 m long and 10.5 m wide. Building height and 16.5 m wide entrance hall 1.4 m. The temple is also referred to as Mercury Mix gate or gate that has a roof, which has three parts such as legs, the body, and the roof and walls and fences that have the wings on both sides. And this photo I took of the side wing or side of the temple.
The frosting on the roof in the form of:
1.Head flanked lion.
2.Relief Sun.
3.Naga legged.
4.Garuda head.
5.Relief one-eyed.

At the foot of describing the story of Sri Tanjung has a function as a protective or repellent distress and the right wing decorated with Ramayana story. There are carvings on either side of the door in the form of long-eared animals. According to the beliefs and myths that developed societies allegedly gate are closely related with the King Jayanegara. Of the public trust and the myths that have been circulating Bajangratu alleged temple entrance to a shrine to commemorate the death of King Jayanegara the Saka year 1250 or the year 1328 AD.
However, based on relief contained in the estimated building the temple was built in the 13th century - 14.
Bajangratu themselves in the ancient Javanese language "Mix" means small, ascended the throne as king as a boy, and supposedly it happened to King Jayanegara. Establishment Bajangratu temple itself is still not known with certainty.

Mystical side of this temple, is also still very strong. According to the story it is said there is a prohibition or taboos for government officials to cross or enter the temple gates Bajangratu this. According to the belief that there is, someone who has a job in government and violating these restrictions, it is believed will have bad luck.
One of the residents who live around the location of the establishment of the temple Bajang Queen, said. When Queen Bajang temple not much different from the temple - the other temples. However it has its own mystical side radiated of building the temple.
Bajang queen is not much different from the temple - the other temples. But if we look carefully, the temple was kept a separate mystical power. In fact, of the belief there are special restrictions for government officials while in the temple Bajang Queen. Prohibition is forbidden to enter or pass through the gates of the temple. If restrictions were violated, the person believed to be affected by bad luck. According to him, if the temple Bajang beauty queen exceeds temple - other temples in the area Trowulan.
This is because the park is in the court of the temple arranged neatly and beautifully. The beauty queen Bajang more prominent temple of the temple - the temple to another. In addition, if we are in the temple area. Then the peace of the soul we can feel, from here we can also feel strongly that radiated mystical side of the temple, "he said.
Which I guess in that place is beautiful and clean and take care of every detail in the building and its surroundings, so there is a ladder in the middle of the temple door accidentally closed to the public and are not allowed through the door of the temple. But this photo I took from the side of the stairs so the picture is not visible because it lies in front of the stairs there. Photos uploaded to the stairs I had before. ©Data Temple of source Wikipedia
