Mataram Kingdom (Ancient)

Hindu-Buddhist Javanese kingdom that built Borobudur and Prambanan; capital shifted east c. 929 before Airlangga divided it into Kediri and Janggala.

Destroyed in 1016 CE when a revolt by vassal Wurawari (backed by Srivijaya) sacked the palace at Wwatan and killed King Dharmawangsa (the 'Pralaya'), ending the Mataram/Medang kingdom; Airlangga later reconstituted a successor state (Kahuripan) and divided it into Kediri and Janggala in 1045.
