Tasikmalaya Regency
History
Toponomy
Whilst the single word of the name does not convey any apparent meaning in its local languages, many believe that the name Tasikmalaya means either "a large area of sand" or "a large area of mountains". It presumed to begin at Sukapura.[4] This place previously called Tawang-Galunggung. Tawang means paddy fields (Sundanese: pasawahan, Indonesian: persawahan) or literary, "a wide range of an open space". As Mount Galunggung erupted afterwards, the plain of Sukapura became mountainous or hilly. Thereby, Tasikmalaya is believed to be either derived from a conflation of Sundanese language tasik and (ma)layah, meaning, literally, "an ocean of hills",[4] or from Sundanese language tasik, jeung, and laya, meaning "large tracts of sand" (Sundanese: keusik ngalayah, Indonesian: hamparan pasir). Other believed that the name is also defined as "an ocean of hills"[5] but with different theory, that Tasikmalaya is adopted from Sundanese language tasik (lake, sea), and malaya (a chain of mountains or highlands). However, there is not such a certain information of when the name was first originated.
Ancient origins
As from the 7th century to the 8th, there was living in this Regency, a known realm with an unknown form of governance that had its central located nearby Mount Galunggung. This realm has a power of authority to officiate coronations for heads of particular kingdoms, namely for the sovereigns of Galuh Kingdom. The rulers of the realm who charged during those centuries were Batara Semplakwaja, Batara Kuncung Putih, Batara Kawindu, Batara Wastuhayu, and the last, to whom this governance later changed into monarchy, is Batari Hyang.[6]
This Kingdom was named Galunggung, taken from the name of the mountain where the kingdom resides. According to Geger Hanjuang
Modern period
Further events in the course of the Regency's history, are when the future governance of Tasikmalaya Regency, Sukakerta, was facing an opportunity to secede from its sovereign ruler, Pajajaran Kingdom. Prabu Surawisesa, the new succeeding king Sri Baduga Maharaja Prabu Siliwangi, was ruled Pajajaran Kingdom at that time. His Kingdom was encountered an expansive threat from Banten Sultanate and Demak. This expansion had initiated the lower region to secede from the Kingdom. However, Sukakerta, is believed, to had already been liberated itself from Pajajaran.[6]
Other focal events happened after a 10 years-long fight in the region of
Years later, under the governance of Raden Tumenggung Surialaga (1813-1814) the capital of the regency was brought to Tasikmalaya, but in 1832, under the governance of Wiradadaha the eighth, its capital was moved to Manonjaya. Next, after some consideration, particularly economically, the capital of the regency was again switched back to Tasikmalaya. In 1913, the name of the Regency, Sukapura, was finally changed hereafter into Tasikmalaya by the government regent R.A.A Wiratanuningrat (1908-1937).[6]
The date of August 21st has been assigned to be the date of Tasikmalaya Regency's anniversary, following the fact revealed on the Geger Hanjuang inscription. The inscription, as it tells, had been made to mark the establishment of the Kingdom of Galunggung and as the mark of the inauguration of its first sovereign, Queen Batari Hyang. The inscription tells that the Kingdom was established on 21 August 1111, as well as the Queen's inauguration.[6]
