Notes:
Bogor is a city in West Java with a population of approximately 800,000 people in the CBD area and 2,000,000 in suburban area, bringing a total of 3 million population. It was the capital of Indonesia during the British occupation under Stamford Raffles and was used as the capital by the Dutch during the dry season, then known as Buitenzorg (meaning "beyond cares").
Bogor boasts a presidential palace, a deer park and a botanical garden in the town centre. It is home to the Institut Pertanian Bogor (or Bogor Institute of Agriculture).
Bogor is on a main road from Jakarta to Bandung, over the Puncak pass. To the south of the city are large tea plantations. During colonial times the Bogor area developed as a centre for plantations. Apart from the tea (Mount Mas), there were coffee plantations at nearby Sukabumi and later vast rubber plantations that stretched from Bogor as far as Citereup and Bukit Sentul.
The suburban area of Bogor is part of the Bogor Regency, while the urban is the Bogor City. Currently Bogor bears the nickname "the Rain City" (Kota Hujan), suggesting that it is very wet and nearly always rains even during the dry season.
History
In 450 A.D. Bogor was part of Tarumanegara, the very first Hindu kingdom in Java, and the second in Indonesia after the Kutai Kingdom in Kalimantan. The most popular king of Tarumanegara was Purnavarman, who ruled around the 5th century. It was during his reign the kingdom reached its golden era. The city was then, with the name of Pakuan, the capital of the western Javanese kingdom of Sunda Galuh, whence came the founder of the Majapahit empire, Raden Wijaya. Bogor was later part of the Siliwangi Kingdom (1482), ruled by King Siliwangi.
Bogor now houses numerous stone inscriptions (prasasti) from both the Tarumanegara and the Siliwangi. These inscriptions, scattered throughout the urban, suburban, and rural areas of Bogor, are written in Sanskrit using the Pallava writing system.
The most well-known inscriptions are:
* Ciaruteun inscription
This is a large boulder found in a streambed upon which Purnavarman's footprints were engraved together with his Pallava handwriting. The set of footprints show to many that Purnavarman was a kind of divine being, or an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. Indeed, the text on the stone compares his footprints to Vishnu's.
The boulder has now been removed to a protected location with metal fences surrounding it, just a few kilometres away from the river where it was discovered.
* Kaki Gajah inscription
As its name implies, this brown flat stone bears a set of an elephant's footprints. The elephant is presumed to be the royal elephant Purnavarman rode on. The text compares it to the mythical elephant Airawata which belongs to another Hindu god Indra. This inscription was discovered not far from Prasasti Ciaruteun.
* Batutulis inscription
This inscription is located in Batutulis area in the urban Bogor. It is now placed inside a house, across from former president Sukarno's house. It is actually a collection of four stones. The first small stone, bearing Siliwangi's footprints, is placed in front of the second stone engraved with the impressions of his knees. The third one is a large, flat, upright brown stone carved with the king's Sanskrit handwriting. These three stones are arranged in such a way that they give the impression that the king was actually kneeling down when carving.
The last stone is a strange cylindrical rock that is set beside the rest of them. Many people say it was Siliwangi's staff, although it seems impossible since this rock is quite wide in diameter.
In 2004, Bogor and St. Louis, Missouri, USA became Sister Cities.
Bogor is een stad in West-Java met een inwoneraantal van ongeveer 750.000 mensen. Het was de hoofdstad van Indonesië tijdens de Engelse koloniale periode onder bestuur van Thomas Stamford Raffles en werd gebruikt als hoofdstad door de Nederlanders tijdens het droge seizoen en stond bekend als "Buitenzorg".
Bogor wordt omgeven door dode vulkanen zoals de Gunung Gede en Gunung Salak en heeft meer onweersbuien dan elke andere plaats op aarde. De stad is in Indonesië dan ook bekend als Kota hujan, de Regenstad.
Bogor heeft een presidentieel paleis (voormalig paleis Gouverneur-generaal) met een hertenpark en een uitgestrekte botanische tuin, bekend als Kebun Raya, vroeger 's Lands Plantentuin geheten, in het stadscentrum. Rond dit park ligt een groot aantal gebouwen van voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Tevens huisvest de stad het Institut Pertanian Bogor, de Bogor-landbouwuniversiteit, welke een uitgestrekte campus heeft op verschillende plaatsen in en om de stad.
Bogor is gelegen aan de doorgaande autoroute van Jakarta naar Bandung, welke leidt over de Puncak-pas. Daarnaast ligt het aan de spoorlijn van Jakarta-Bandoeng, waarbij het nog het originele station uit 1873 heeft. Ten zuiden van de stad zijn grote (van oorsprong door Nederlanders opgezette) koffie en theeplantages.
