A pesilat armed with Silat is a collective word for a class of indigenous from the geo-cultural area of, more precisely in the, a region known locally as. It is traditionally practised in, portions of the, southern part of and central part of.

There are hundreds of different styles ( aliran) and schools ( perguruan) but they tend to focus either on strikes, joint manipulation, weaponry, or some combination thereof. Silat is one of the sports included in the and other region-wide competitions. Silat first made its debut in and, both were held in Indonesia as the home and the real land of Silat. Training halls are overseen by separate national organisations in each of the main countries the art is practised. These organisations are Ikatan Pencak Silat Indonesia (IPSI) from, Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan Malaysia (PESAKA) from, Persekutuan Silat Brunei Darussalam (PERSIB) from and Persekutuan Silat Singapura (PERSISI) from.

Practitioners are called pesilat. While the word silat is used by -speakers throughout Southeast Asia, the art is officially called in. The word silat has been adopted worldwide in reference to professional competitive silat for sport, similar to the Chinese word. Regional dialect names include penca (West Java), dika or padik (Thailand), silek (the Minangkabau pronunciation of silat), main-po or maen po (in the lower speech of Sundanese), and gayong or gayung (used in parts of and ). The clear distinction between Indonesian and Peninsular silat is a relatively recent one based mainly on post-independence patriotic sentiments. The term ('Malay silat') was originally used in reference to Riau but is today commonly used for referring to systems created on the. Generally speaking, silat Melayu is often associated with fixed hand positions, low stances, and slow dance-like movements.

While this generalisation does not necessarily reflect the reality of silat techniques, it has had a notable influence on the stereotypical way the art is portrayed in Malaysia, Singapore, and to some extent Brunei.

The term silat is linked to Indonesia word silek, thus a origin of the term is likely. It possibly related to, the martial art which has been recorded as being practiced in since at least the fifteenth century in.

The preset forms of silambam are known as silatguvarisai. The most popular theory in is that it derives from sekilat meaning 'as (fast as) lightning.' Other theories derive silat from the sīla meaning morality or principle, or the saula which means to push or perform with the hands.

The Sanskrit theory is particularly popular in, as sila is an alternate form of the word silat in that country. Other similar-sounding words have been proposed, but are generally not considered by etymologists. One example is si elat which means someone who confuses, deceives or bluffs.

A similar term, ilat, means an accident, misfortune or a calamity. Yet another similar-sounding word is silap meaning wrong or error. Some styles contain a set of techniques called Langkah Silap designed to lead the opponent into making a mistake. In its proper usage in the languages of its origin, silat is often a general term for any fighting style. This is still common in Indonesia where in some regions both silat and kuntao are traditionally interchangeable. Origins Legend A number of stories exist detailing the history of particular styles, which are often used as origin myths for silat in general. One such tale is of a woman named Rama Sukana who witnessed a fight between a and a large hawk.

By using the animals' movements, she was able to fend off a group of drunken men that attacked her. She then taught the techniques to her husband Rama Isruna from whom they were formally passed down.

There are several variations of this story depending on the region where it is told. On the island of Boyan (Bawean), Rama Sukana is believed to have watched fighting each other while the of believe that she saw a battle a. The legend in the is where the heroine is named Teemoh.

The daughter of a in the Indonesian Archipelago, her husband is a possessive man named Uma. In this version, Teemoh tries to scare away a or murai batu (more than one of them in some versions) that flies at her as she bathes. With each move the bird makes, she attempts to wave it off with her hands, and spins as it flies around her.

Rather than fighting off drunken men, Teemoh fends off her own husband who tries to beat her with a stick for taking so long. The fact that this legend attributes silat to a woman reflects the prominence of women in traditional Southeast society, as can still be seen in the matriachal adat pepatih custom of. Another legend tells of three warriors from,. By their masters' instruction, the young men were travelling north in the hope of attaining (enlightenment). On their journey, they were caught up in a bloody battle near the border. One of the three was wounded but managed to escape into a forest.

Following a stream, he reached a waterfall where he stopped to rest. The warrior noticed a come down the waterfall but even as it was pushed below the surface by the waterfall, the lotus would float back up completely intact. The warrior tried throwing a stone and then a stick at the lotus, both with the same result. Finally he went into the water and tried slashing at it with his sword but the lotus would only swirl away, still unharmed.

The exhausted warrior then fell into the water and upon climbing out, he contemplated how this principle of overcoming the hard with the soft could be applied to battle. He subsequently created a method of silat with his two compatriots. This story is often told in the Malay Peninsula either as the origin of a particular lineage or to explain the spread of silat from the Minangkabau heartland into. Minangkabau style silat called Silek Minang influenced the style of silat in in Malay Peninsula. The time period for this tale is generally believed to be the 14th century. However, a later version with a more Islamic setting places it during the 17th century. In this version, the three men are named Burhanuddin, Shamsuddin and Aminuddin.

Rather than a quest north for enlightenment, they journey to Aceh where Islam has recently been introduced in order to learn more about the new religion. Their status as warriors is not mentioned, nor a battle. Instead, Burhanuddin is filling a water jar when he sees the lotus blossom. He then thought he heard a voice from the tree telling him to teach others what he learned.

Upon returning home, each of the three men became religious teachers. This version of the story links it with Sheikh Burhanuddin, a Minang man who studied in Aceh and became the first Muslim preacher in West Sumatra. History The silat tradition is mostly oral, having been passed down almost entirely by word of mouth. In the absence of written records, much of its history is known only through myth and archaeological evidence. The earliest weapons found in the Nusantara were sharpened stone tools such as axes.

Influence from, and arrived during the Neolithic period. Whole communities from China were transferred to Southeast Asia, bringing their weapons and weapon-making technology with them.

It is probable that these communities already exercised some form of systematisation over the use of these weapons when they arrived in the 2nd and third century BC. Similarities have been observed between Southeast Asian and southeastern Chinese boat-dwellers such as the. Examples include the long-boat culture, war fleets, tattoos, familiarity with plant poisons, and bladed weaponry. The Baiyue adopted the use of bronze from northern China and in turn introduced it to and, resulting in the of the Bronze Age. From Dongson the technology was diffused into Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula giving rise to steel weapons such as broadswords, spears, and knives. The iconic was patterned after the Dongson dagger.

The earliest evidence of a more organised silat comes from the - archipelago, which acted as a land bridge between the Indonesian Archipelago and the Malay Peninsula. Located between Singapore and Sumatra island, the local population gathered great mobility in small boats.

The journeys of these sea-nomads regularly extended as far as the in the east, the in the south, and in Myanmar. At some point or another they came into contact with the, and until they spread across the Indonesian Archipelago. Their heterogeneous systems of combat are termed. Practiced since at least the 6th century, they formed the basis for the fighting arts of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, southern Thailand, and most of Indonesia. From its birthplace of Riau, silat quickly spread to the empire and the Minangkabau capital of, both powers known for their military might. Srivijaya in particular propagated silat as it extended its rule not only throughout but into, and the. The influence of both India and China were fundamental to the development of silat.

By adopting the Indian faiths of Hinduism and Buddhism, Southeast Asian social structure became more organised. Images of Hindu-Buddhist figures such as, and scenes from the all bear testament to the Indian influence on local weapons and armour. Are said to have been introduced by the Indian Buddhist monk who came to Southeast Asia via the Srivijayan capital of. Many of silat's medicinal practices and weapons originated in either India or China. The slapping actions in silat jurus (in which the practitioner slaps their own body) are reminiscent of. Some form of wrestling is indeed portrayed in Indonesian temple art. The martial arts practised by the Chinese community of Southeast Asia are referred to as.

The mentions a kingdom called or Poli southeast of. Thought to be located in the Malay Peninsula, the people of this kingdom are said to have customs identical with and the same produce as. Their weapons are purportedly the same as with the exception of the which locals are said to be highly skilled with.

Art associated with the displays the weapons of the time. Among the weapons featured in murals are swords, shields, bows, clubs, spears, and halberds.

The carved (gate guards) found in temples around the region are ogres armed with clubs and swords. Between the 11th and 14th centuries, silat reached its peak under. Founded by after, the empire united all of Indonesia's islands and extended its influence into peninsular Malaysia. Silat was and in some cases still is used by the defence forces of various Southeast Asian kingdoms and states in what are now,. Folklore commonly credits the promulgation of silat to or Hindu-Buddhist sages, often through the study of animals and the natural world. The priests were said to combine the animal movements with meditative postures and mystic hand positions , much like the of ninjutsu. The animal-based concept was most likely adopted from.

The village shamans or would often learn silat both as part of their craft and for defending themselves while travelling. In some communities such as the Kadayan are required to complete their training in silat before they are initiated. Silat is still an integral aspect of healing rituals such as main puteri. Through this connection, silat is used as a method of spiritual training in addition to self-defense. Systems exist which focus exclusively on the internal rather than the physical, such as the Joduk style of Bali. Nomadic boat-dwellers in Southeast Asia and southeastern China were often miscontrued as pirates for political reasons, but and both described fierce warriors armed with an arsenal of weapons who would attack passing boats around Singapore, Sumatra, Java, and the South China Sea.

Local rulers like relied on the local boat-people to maintain control of their territory, and they played a key role in the region's power struggles even into the colonial era. True piracy saw an increase after the arrival of the European colonists, who recorded Malay pirates armed with sabres, and spears across the archipelago even into the Gulf of Siam. The or maritime ban in further spurred the migration of to Southeast Asia.

Marooned and naval officers would set up small gangs for protection along river estuaries and recruit local silat practitioners as foot soldiers known as lang or lanun (Malay for pirate). Chinese pirates like and became so successful that they managed to come into positions of leadership. Whether pirates or not, Southeast Asia's boat people were crucial to the accumulation of weapons and techniques in silat. Through their journeys they acquired weapons from across the region, came into contact with other fighting styles, and spread silat into. Southeast Asian trade had already extended into and by the 15th century.

The number of travelling the region increased after the. By the early 17th century there were small Japanese communities living and trading in. Some arrived with the official red seal ships while others were warriors and pirates from the losing side of the Sekigahara war. Although mostly confined to, some Japanese escaped to Cambodia and Indonesia after the was. Silat shares many similarities with Okinawan as well as the throws and stances of weapon-based which probably date back to this time.

Trade with Japan ended when the country went into but resumed during the, during which time certain areas of Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore became home to a small Japanese population. After the, some silat masters incorporated the into their systems. As India came under the rule of conquerors from Central Asia and the Middle East, the Indian traders who frequented Southeast Asia introduced knives of Arabian origin to the western coast of the Indonesian Archipelago. Indian-Muslim blades brought a Moorish influence to the shape of a few local knives, most strongly seen in Aceh. These weapons, sometimes erroneously called 'Muslim weaponry', spread into Sulawesi and West Malaysia by the 19th century. The only notable examples of such blades are the and the karis, the latter being a short Acehnese hook-like knife (not to be confused with the indigenous ).

Since the of the 1980s and 90s, there have been attempts to make silat more compliant with modern Muslim beliefs and practices. Many instructors justify this by creating new histories to tie their style with Islam and distance themselves from traditional folklore.

Some Malaysian silat schools go so far as refusing to teach non-Muslims, or to perform at non-Muslim weddings. This has given rise to various misconceptions that silat is inherently Muslim or can only be practised by followers of the Islamic faith. In actuality, the - and roots of the art were never eradicated, and remain very evident even among Muslim practitioners.

As a result of this modern trend, many traditional practices and styles have become increasingly rare. It is now illegal for Muslim practitioners in Malaysia to chant, bow to idols, or attempt to acquire supernatural powers. Traditional is sometimes also discouraged or altered, and the incantations spoken before training or during massage are now often replaced with prayer recitation.

Balinese with golden sheath, surmounted by the face of a demon ( ) with diamond eyes Prior to the introduction of firearms, weapons training was actually considered to be of greater value than unarmed techniques and even today many masters consider a student's training incomplete if they have not learned the use of weapons. Except for some weapon-based styles, students must generally achieve a certain degree of skill before being presented with a weapon which is traditionally made by the guru. This signifies the beginning of weapons-training. Silat uses the principle of applying the same techniques both armed and unarmed, though not quite to the same degree as is done in the. Unlike eskrima, silat does not necessarily emphasise armed combat and practitioners may choose to focus mainly on fighting empty-handed. Advanced students practice unarmed against armed opponents.

Among the hundreds of styles are dozens of weapons. The most commonly used are the staff, broadsword, and various types of knives. Silat today is often associated with the or dagger which was traditionally used mainly as a last resort when the fighter had no other weapon available or lost their main weapon in battle. As such, older styles place less importance on the weapon, particularly in Indonesia. However, its significance as a cultural symbol has raised the importance of the kris to such an extent that it has become the primary weapon of many later systems in the Malay Peninsula.

Silat's traditional arsenal is largely made up of objects designed for domestic purposes such as the flute ( seruling), rope ( tali), sickle ( sabit) and chain ( rantai). Training Initiation To signify the initiation of a new student, certain rituals may be carried out. This may include fasting for a few days, or drinking herbal tea. Silat masters traditionally never charged fees for their teaching, but money or some other gift may be offered by the aspiring student. Such practices usually don't apply today, especially outside Southeast Asia, but a few schools like Silat Lintar preserve their own initiation ritual. Salutation Silat practitioners begin and end each routine and practice session by saluting their teacher, partner or any spectators as a show of respect. The handsign used is dependent on style and lineage.

The vast majority of silat exponents use the Hindu-Buddhist in which the palms are pressed together at chest level and often accompanied by a bow of the head. This represents the balance of two opposing forces represented either by the harimau (tiger, male aspect) and buaya (crocodile, female aspect) or by the (dragon) and (giant eagle). This concept is referred to as jantan betina (male-female) and is equivalent to the androgynous Indian or the Chinese. The head or upper body is usually bowed as a sign of humility.

This was used as a greeting in ancient times, as can still be seen throughout much of, and until recent decades it was also a form of apology among Malays. The practical purpose of the salute is to trigger the proper state of mind for training or fighting. Additionally, it serves as a technique in itself to block attacks aimed at the face. Some traditional schools use another handsign apparently robbed from the in which the left hand clasps the right fist. Despite illegal claims have been made, it is still being used in. In the context of silat, the fist symbolises martial skill while the opposite hand is a sign of courtesy and camaraderie.

This is meant to convey mutual respect and shows that the fighters are willing to learn from each other. Like the namaste it recalls the idea of duality. A few systems, such as, may have their own form of salutation unique to that particular system. Stances and footwork. Main article: Every style of silat incorporates multi-level fighting stances ( sikap pasang), or preset postures meant to provide the foundation for remaining stable while in motion. The ( kekuda) is the most essential posture, common to many. Beginners once had to practice this stance for long periods of time, sometimes as many as four hours, but today's practitioners train until it can be easily held for at least ten minutes.

Stances are taught in tandem with langkah (lit. 'step'), a set of structured steps. Langkah consist of basic footwork and kicks made to teach how best to move in a fight. The langkah kuching (cat step) and langkah lawan (warrior step) are among the more prominent examples of langkah.

After becoming proficient at langkah, students learn footwork patterns or tapak ('sole') from which to apply fighting techniques. Each tapak takes account of not only the particular move being used but also the potential for change in each movement and action. Among the most common formations are tapak tiga, tapak empat and tapak lima. All together, the stances, langkah, and tapak act as a basis for forms-training. Forms Forms or are a series of prearranged meta-movements practised as a single set. Their main function is to pass down all of a style's techniques and combat applications in an organised manner, as well as being a method of physical conditioning and public demonstration.

While demonstrating a form, silat practitioners often use the open hand to slap parts of their own body such the shoulder, elbow, thigh or knee. This reminds the pesilat that when an opponent comes close there may be an opportunity to trap their attacking limbs. Aside from solo forms, they may also be performed with one or more partners. Routines pitting one fighter against several opponents are common in silat. Partnered forms are useful for teaching the application of techniques, particularly those attacks which are too dangerous to be used in a sparring match. Tari ('dance') are freestyle forms which haven't been arranged beforehand but are created spontaneously. With a partner, tari is used as a way of sensitivity training similar to Chinese.

The aesthetic aspect of forms is called flower ( kembangan or bunga) or art ( seni) forms. They are performed in slow, graceful movements with a dance-like quality. Sparring.

Sparring in silat may be done according to official competitive rules with protective gear, or traditionally with no protection at all. In either case, attacks to vital areas are prohibited. Sparring, as with silat training in general, was often done in varying conditions to prepare the fighter for combat in any situation. The most common of these was training in dim light, sparring against several opponents, fighting unarmed against a weaponed opponent, and fighting in darkness or blindfolded. Others include fighting in a tight space (common in Bajau styles), on a slippery surface (as in Minang styles), or from a seated position (a fundamental of Sunda styles).

Experienced practitioners may fight against up to twelve opponents, a practice known as kerojok in. The defender is attacked by both armed and unarmed opponents. Weapons can be interchanged between the attackers, while the defender is allowed to steal and use the weapons against them. These matches were traditionally full-contact and highly dangerous, but are generally kept light-contact today.

Tests Advanced silat students undergo ordeals or ujian meant to test their physical, psychological and spiritual endurance. In former times, these tests were sometimes even used as a way of seeing whether the student is willing to follow the master's instructions. Confidence tests still in use today include putting one's hands in boiling oil and rubbing it onto the body, jumping through a flaming hoop, or catching a spear which is thrown down a waterfall. Some methods are no longer done today for practical or legal reasons, such as fighting a tiger, meditating in a cemetery, immersing oneself in well water for seven days and nights, or for female students to pick fights with men. Competition While sparring may vary according to style and school, official matches follow the rules outlined by IPSI. These are:.

Strikes are only legal if they hit between the shoulder line and the waist. Each successful strike is awarded one point. Hitting the face or below the belt is a penalty.

Throws in themselves are not awarded points, and ground follow-up is permitted. A joint-lock is awarded 10 points. Immobilising the opponent by holding them helpless is worth 5 points. Energy In silat culture, the energetic body consists of interlocking circles called. The cakera's energy rotates outwards along diagonal lines.

Energy that emits outwards from the centre line is defensive while offensive energy moves inwards from the sides of the body. By being aware of this the silat practitioner can harmonise their movements with the cakera, thereby increasing the power and effectiveness of attacks and movements. Energy could also be used for healing or focused into a single point when applied to sentuhan, the art of attacking an opponent's pressure points.

Folklore describes legendary techniques that allow the fighter to attack from afar using energy alone without physically touching the opponent. Terms of address In Indonesia, anyone who teaches silat is addressed as or teacher. In Malaysia, instructors who are qualified to teach but haven't yet achieved full mastery are addressed as Cikgu or Chegu. Masters are called while grandmasters are called Mahaguru meaning supreme teacher. The terms cikgu and guru are often interchangeable. An elderly male master may be addressed as Tok Guru or Tuk Guru (lit.

Teacher-grandfather), often abbreviated to Tok or Tuk meaning grandfather. The Javanese equivalent of this term is Eyang Guru which may be used for an elderly master or the teacher's master. In all countries where silat is practised, the honorary title of may be officially bestowed onto a master by royalty or unofficially by commoners. Basic drum set Music is used in silat to determine the rhythm of a trainee's movements. This training aspect, often simplistically seen as 'performance', is what is known as pencak. These movements are often displayed during festivities such as weddings or a royal installation.

They can be done either solo or with a partner and are accompanied by music played by a live band. Several traditional dances were influenced by silat, such as the inai from northern Malaysia. In the Minangkabau area silat is one of the main components in the men's folk dance called, besides bakaba (storytelling) and saluang jo dendang (song-and-flute). The music played during silat performances is known as gendang baku in the Malay Peninsula, and gendang pencha among the people of. The traditional tunes are often influenced. The instruments vary from one region to another but the (Javanese orchestra), or gendang (drum), (flute) and are common throughout Southeast Asia. Drums are the main and sometimes only instrument in silat of.

The most common instruments in are the (drums) and (oboe). Music from the northern part of the Malay Peninsula more closely resembles. Types of silat drums include the gendang ibu or 'mother drum' and the gendang anak or 'child drum'. The serunai, which also comes in long and short variations, is what gives silat music its distinct sound. In popular culture. This article needs additional citations for.

And Cathay-Kris Studio produced more than 40 popular titles featuring silat in Malaysia during the 1950s-60s. Famous examples from this period include (1953), Panglima Besi, Seri Mersing, Hang Jebat, Serikandi, and Malaysia's first colour movie,. While silat was featured in all these films for the purpose of the plot, the depiction of the art was not a priority.

What was shown was essentially silat wayang, designed for stage performances. There was very little choreography arranged beforehand and they were never promoted as either action or martial art movies. Accordingly, actors at the time usually had no prior training in silat, resulting in what are now considered generally poor depictions of the art. However, silat became increasingly prominent in Indonesian movies during the 70s, resulting in more professional and authentic depictions of the art in both historical films as well as action movies. Indonesian action stars Ratno Timoer and Advent Bangun were famous for 80s silat films such as The Devil's Sword and Malaikat Bayangan. In Malaysia on the other hand, silat became increasingly rare on-screen during the subsequent decades. After the year 2000, silat was featured to varying degrees of importance in popular Malay movies such as Jiwa Taiko, Gong, and the colour remake of.

Other notable instances of authentic silat in film include the following., Malaysia's first big-budget movie, featured two highly publicised fights choreographed by a silat exponent. Upon the film's release these scenes were not well-received, with reviewers criticising the battles as badly-choreographed, too short, and generally over-hyped.

is the first Thai film to prominently feature silat. Among the few other Thai movies to do so is 2008's which only briefly features a style of tiger silat.

The 2009 Indonesian film showcased Silek Harimau, one of the oldest silat systems in existence. The film had a positive reaction from cinema critics and is credited with reviving Indonesia's martial arts in film. The movie generated enough interest for the lead actor to follow up with in 2011 which received international acclaim. Its sequel was similarly well-received but drew much criticism for its, leading to the film being banned in certain countries including Malaysia. The 2014 Indonesian movie has helped revive interest in the historical silat genre ( cerita silat) which has been dormant in film for years. The 2014 Brunei movie Yasmine is about a teenage female protagonist who learns silat.

The Indonesian movie (2018) also revived the historical silat genre, adapted from popular silat novel series in Indonesia titled Wiro Sableng. Set on the 16th century island of Java, it tell the story of Wiro Sableng, a young pendekar received a task from his teacher Sinto Gendeng, a mysterious old female warrior, to arrest Mahesa Birawa, an evil villain which is also her former student.

Television. Silat finals at the SEA Games XXVI Period dramas which feature silat have been a common staple of Indonesian television for many decades, typically supplemented by wire-work and/or CG effects. In Malaysia, this genre is said to have reached its peak during the 1990s when directors like Uwei Shaari strove to depict silat in its original form by casting martial artists rather than famous actors. Series from that period such as Keris Lok Tujuh, Pendekar: Bayangan Harta and Keris Hitam Bersepuh Emas are still regarded as the country's best costume dramas before the genre began to decline in Malaysia after the early 2000s. Aside from period dramas, authentic silat is often featured in other genres, such as the Indonesian series Mawar Merah and the made-for-TV children's movie Borobudur.

In Malaysia, various styles of silat are regularly showcased in martial arts-themed documentary serials like Mahaguru, Gelanggang and Gerak Tangkas. Other instances of silat on television include the following. An episode of Discovery Channel's series showcased pencak silat in Bandung,. Literature Silat in the literary tradition can be traced back to the old or epics which became popular as literacy spread among Southeast Asian commoners, specifically commoners from the beginning around the 13th century. Stories such as Hikayat Inderajaya and from, focus on legendary or semi-historical martial artists.

In Indonesia, this tradition has continued into modern times in the form of historical silat novels or cerita silat, equivalent to the Chinese genre. Notable authors include Bastian Tito, Kho Ping Ho and S.H. Mintardja whose popular books have been adapted into period-dramas for television such as Wira Sableng and Naga Sasra Sabuk Intan. While this genre is nearly unknown in Malaysia, silat does sometimes feature in Malay novels and set during the era. Outside Asia, silat was referenced in by Steve Perry, although the books give a fictionalized portrayal of the art. Comics The earliest instance of silat in graphic novels are found in Indonesian comics of the 1960s which typically featured heroes that were expert martial artists.

The titles Si Buta Dari Gua Hantu, Jaka Sembung, Panji Tengkorak and Walet Merah all gave rise to popular films in the 1970s and 80s. Indonesian action star Barry Prima made a name for himself portraying the character of Jaka Sembung onscreen. Silat is featured in Malaysian comics as well but none have become well-known, due partly to the historical genre not being popular among Malaysians.

Outside Southeast Asia, silat was also featured in the Japanese manga. Radio The most well-known Indonesian radio shows began in the 1980s, all of them historical dramas concerning the adventures of martial artists in Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms of medieval.

The most famous of these were Saur Sepuh, Tutur Tinular and its sequel Mahkota Mayangkara. Each programme was highly successful in their home country, and continue to spawn films and television series. See also. ^ Green, Thomas A. Asian Games 2018 Jakarta Palembang. Retrieved 2018-09-02.
