Masjid Agung Banten 
By Bambang Setia Budi

Great Mosque of Banten, as old and historic mosque, always enlivened the pilgrims every day from various areas in Java in general.Complex building of this mosque in the village of Banten Lama, about 10 kilometers north of Serang, Banten province capital.Great Mosque of Banten, was first built by Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin (1552-1570), Apart from being a place of worship, also become a tourist attraction riligi,
According to people in the past, the Great Mosque of Banten in the first five stacked arcades, but in the 17th century had turned into three. This case was possible because the two roof top stacks is actually only an additional roof supported center poleThe most interesting part of the roof of the Great Mosque of Banten is precisely on two concentric stack of roof top that vaguely remind idiom Chinese pagoda. Both roofs were standing right on top of the stack with a third roof structure system supplier that meets style at one point. The laying of such a show the impression as if the roof in a critical position and easy to waver, but this is precisely the main attraction.
Two roof top stack that serves as the crown seemed more than a roof covering the inside of the building space. No wonder the forms and expressions as it actually can be read in two interpretations: the mosque roofed stacked five or mosque roofed plus stacks of three with two crowns on it as an aesthetic element.
Another interesting element is the tower to the east of the large and monumental, and is unique because there has never been a tower like that in Java, even in the whole archipelago. Because the tower is not a tradition that complements the mosque in Java in the early days, the Great Mosque of Banten is among the first mosque to use elements of the tower in Java.
Tradition says, a brick tower constructed approximately 24 feet high as it used to be said to function more as the tower of view / observers to offshore because of its shape like a lighthouse than as a place to carry a call to prayer. Clearly, all of Banten, Dutch news almost always mention the tower, the tower proves that always attracted visitors of the City of Banten past.
The news also showed the tower has been built not long ago with the construction of mosques. From Dr KC Crucq search results, which have been loaded in the essay titled Aanteekeningen Over de Manara te Banten (Some Notes on the Tower in Banten), published in Tidscrift Voor de Indische Taal, Land and Volkenkunde van Nederlandsch Indie, otherwise, the tower was built during Emperor Maulana Maulana Hasanuddin when his son Joseph were grown and married.
However, from the ornaments, the tower of the Great Mosque of Banten seemed unaffected decorative art found in Java, such as tower-shaped headdress ornament dagoba or elongated triangle, known as tumpal. Both are often found in East Java Candi Jago and other temples. In fact, the motive of niches at the entrance of the tower as if it is a simplification of kala-makara motif in the tradition of pre-Islamic culture of Indonesia as well as decoration of mihrab Kasepuhan Great Mosque in Cirebon.
ACTUALLY there are many other unique elements that may be mentioned briefly, such as the pedestals of stone andesite large gourd-shaped and vary in each basic pillar of the mosque. Most large-sized pumpkin with a line that most of the pedestals on the four pillars pillars in the middle of the prayer room. The size of this huge base with no will we meet along the island of Java, except in the former ruins of one of the mosques in Plered Sultanate of Mataram, Yogyakarta.
In addition, there is a large pulpit and full of antique ornaments and colors. Place this sermon is a waqf Nyai Haji Irad Jonjang Attack on 23 Shawwal 1323 Hijri (1903 AD) as written in Arabic script bald on the top face of the viewer chancel arch. Different from mimbarnya that attract attention, mihrab (the imam leading the prayer) in the form of very very small niche, narrow and simple. This is very different from that developed in the mosque mihrab in other parts of the world.
The existence of the pavilion and pond for ablutions in the east complete the general characteristics of the Javanese mosque. Pole marquee that was built during the reign of Sultan Maulana Yusuf was also using a stone base with pumpkin in the form of buildings and traditional construction techniques of Java.



MAJID KUDUS


Mosque Minaret is one of the relics of history, as evidence of the spread of Islam in Java. This mosque is unique because the design of the building, which is a merger between the Hindu Culture and Islamic Culture. As we know, before Islam, Java has grown in Buddhism and Hinduism with the legacy of temples and temple. In addition there is the worship of the Spirit Ancestors (animism) and belief in the objects (dynamism). Mosque Minaret into evidence, how a combination of Islamic Culture and Hindu culture has produced a building that is unique and high-style architecture. A building of mosques, but with the tower in the form of temples and various other ornaments of the Hindu style.
Sunan mosque built by the Holy Ghost in the year 956 H. This can be seen from the slate that is located in Pengimaman mosque, which reads and shaped Arabic, which is difficult to read because it has a lot of letters damaged. Stone was armored, and the size of the shield is with a length of 46 cm, width 30 cm. The legend says that the stone came from Baitulmakdis (Al Quds) in Jerusalem - Palestine. From the words that appear Baitulmakdis Holy name which means holy, so that the mosque is called the Holy Mosque and the city named by the Holy city.
Mosque Minaret consists of 5 pieces right side door, and 5 pieces left door. The windows all have 4 pieces. Large door consists of 5 pieces, and a large pillar in the mosque which comes from teak wood is 8 pieces. However, this mosque is not in the original, larger than the original because in 1918 - an already renovated. Inside the mosque there is a pool, pool-shaped "padasan" is a relic of the primeval and serve as a place of ablution. Is still in question until now, whether the pool Hindu relic or deliberately created by Sunan Kudus to adopt the Hindu culture. Inside the mosque there are 2 pieces of the flag, which is located on the right and left of the preacher read a sermon. On the front porch of the mosque there is a gate door, which is commonly referred to by residents as "Lawang twin", is said gate is derived from the former Majapahit kingdom first, the arch was once used as a door mirror.
Ghost stories of the tower there were various versions, there are opinions that say, "that the Holy tower is the former temple of the Hindus,". The proof is almost similar shape Kidal Temple located in East Java, established about 1250 or similar Singosari Temple. Another opinion says that under the Ghost Tower, once there is a fountain of life. Why? because the living creatures that have died if included in the spring into life again. Because it is feared will cult, ditutuplah spring by building towers. Holy tower height of approximately 17 meters, around decorated with a picture discs, all of which amounted to 32 fruit number. 20 pieces including a blue and berlukiskan mosque, men with camels and palm trees. Who's the other 12 pieces of red and white flowers berlukiskan. In the tower there is the stairs are made of teak wood which may be made in 1895 AD About the building and decoration clearly shows its relationship with the Hindu art of Java. Because Minaret building that consists of 3 parts: (1) Feet (2) Body and (3) The peak of the building. Also decorated with ornamental art, or artefix (decoration that resembles a small hill).
Unique and historical impression this is a very interesting religious tourists and ordinary tourists. Every day this place is always crowded by tourists, tourists from around the Holy city is usually visited on a weekday, Saturday and Sunday are usually more visitors from out of town. On 10 Shura 'is the culmination of a crowd in the mosque complex, in order khaul Kanjeng death of Sunan Kudus. Although it contains a unique characteristic, but the spatial structure of the mosque seems unorganized. Being situated in the center of the Holy city, just 5 minutes from the square of the Holy city, the mosque was surrounded by a fairly dense housing residents. Thus, reduced the beauty of the Minaret Mosque complex of buildings that are now entering as one of the cultural heritage. In addition, the number of beggars who were around the mosque, also can interfere with the visitors who come. Kept awake for sustainability, the arrangement of space around the mosque must be repaired back to maintain a beautiful and unique impression Mosque Minaret this.

Gamelan developing in Yogyakarta is Javanese gamelan, a form of gamelan is different from Balinese gamelan or Sundanese gamelan. Javanese gamelan has a softer tone and slow, in contrast to the dynamic Balinese gamelan and Sundanese gamelan highly dominated lilting voice and flute. The difference is reasonable, since Java has a view of life that is expressed in the rhythm of gamelan music.
Javanese philosophy of life expressed in gamelan music is the harmony of physical and spiritual life, harmony in speaking and acting so as not to create an explosive expression and create tolerance among fellow. Real form of music is the pull string fiddle that is, a balanced blend of sound kenong, saron drums and xylophone and gong sounds on every cover of rhythm.
There is no definite history of gamelan. The development is expected since the emergence of gamelan music gong, fiddle, clapping to the mouth, the friction on a thin rope or bamboo to familiar musical instruments from metal. Further development after named gamelan, the music was used to accompany wayang performance, and dance. Later it became independent as the music itself and equipped with the voice of sinden.

Candi Borobudur Not Just Piles Stone

As one of the seven wonders of the world, the Borobudur Temple was built by using the + / - 55,000 m3 of stone. Height of this building until the summit is 42m, with a base width of 123 m. Upright and sturdy towering keangkasa and is a part of history that have been outstanding 12th century. When will definitely this temple was founded is not known with certainty. The absence of written evidence led to Borobudur full darkness. Age determination is done by considering the basic mode of building temples and carving-style carvings that show middle Java, 8th century BC.
borobudur1
Since built in the 8th century, the history of Borobudur arise drowned. Once completed, Borobudur became the center of research and pemngembangan Buddhist religion. The followers of this religion, visit Borobudur to study the Buddhist religion. The entire series of reliefs of Borobudur contains the teachings of the Buddhist religion. At that time borobudur building became the center of attention and revered as a sacred building.
But it did not last long. Along with the decline of Buddhist religion, Borobudur was left of its adherents. After the dynasty Cailendra (Caila = mountain, Indra = King) disappeared, no word borobudur news. Centuries of darkness closed Borobudur. No posts or news of Borobudur.
borobudur3
Along with the transfer of the royal central Java to East Java, Borobudur practically be neglected anymore. Former volcanic ash that blanketed borobudur into the growing medium for grass and shrubs. The trees grew smaller start making borobudur changing into stone-covered mound of bush and haunted look that makes people afraid to approach.
In the early 18th century, Governor-General Englishman named Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, to receive reports about the existence of a large temple which tertutp by shrubs. Raffles then sent officers, H.C. Cornelius to visit the great temple, which turns out to be Borobudur. Bush cleared, so nampaklahsebuah temple with Buddhist statues which so many in number. The situation of the temple is sad, because so many parts that had collapsed. Many statues are broken, his head broken and his arm stump. Unfortunately the English government did not last long. Research and attempt to repair the borobudur become dormant again. But since then borobudur beginning to be heeded. With the opening of the Raffles, many people visit Borobudur.
buddhist gods
he Dutch government which came to power again, getting interested. Unfortunately not everyone means well. Statues and parts of the temple is beautifully captured many people or government officials. One example was in 1896, the Dutch government, through the Resident Kedu, taking eight carts full of sculptures and beautiful parts of Borobudur for granted to the King of Siam. King Chulalangkon was visiting Borobudur and very interested in Buddhist statues from temples. So diangkutlah gift from the Netherlands was to his country. Until now the precious objects of Borobudur was stored in the Museum Bangkok, Thailand ..

Sampah Dan Penanggulangannya

Foto oleh : Gambang Blog
Apa itu sampah, banyak dari kita mengartikannya berbeda-beda. bahkan dari beberapa sumber pun mengartikannya berbeda. Beberapa diantaranya adalah :
Kamus Istilah Lingkungan, 1994 :
Sampah adalah bahan yang tidak mempunyai nilai atau tidak berharga untuk maksud biasa atau utama dalam pembikinan atau pemakaian barang rusak atau bercacat dalam pembikinan manufaktur atau materi berkelebihan atau ditolak atau buangan.
Tandjung, Dr. M.Sc., 1982 :
Sampah adalah sesuatu yang tidak berguna lagi, dibuang oleh pemilikya atau pemakai semula.
Radyastuti, W. Prof. , Ir, 1996 :
Sampah adalah sumberdaya yang tidak siap pakai.
Istilah Lingkungan untuk Manajeman, Ecolink, 1996 :
Sampah adalah suatu bahan yang terbuang atau dibuang dari sumber hasil aktivitas manusia maupun proses alam yang belum memiliki nilai ekonomis.
Dari sekian banyak pengertian tentang sampah, pada intinya adalah sama yaitu barang yang tidak terpakai atau tak terpakai lagi dan tidak mempunyai nilai/harga lagi. Dari pengertian tersebut kita bisa membagi kemudian jenis-jenis sampah yang ada disekitar kita. Apa saja?
Sampah organik yaitu sampah yang terdiri dari bahan-bahan yang bisa terurai secara alamiah/ biologis. Misalnya adalah sisa makanan.
Foto oleh : Smada underpixel
Sampah anorganik yaitu sampah yang terdiri dari bahan-bahan yang sulit terurai secara biologis sehingga penghancurannya membutuhkan penanganan lebih lanjut. Misalnya adalah plastik dan styrofoam
Sampah B3 (bahan berbahaya dan beracun) yaitu sampah yang terdiri dari bahan-bahan berbahaya dan beracun. Misalnya adalah bahan kimia beracun.
Foto oleh : Pantau Post
Kompos adalah sampah yang teruraikan secara biologis, yaitu melalui pembusukan dengan bakteri yang ada di tanah, dan kerap digunakan sebagai pupuk.
Berbagai macam sampah ini bisa terakumulasi dalam jumlah yang teramat sangat banyak, sebagai contoh di DKI Jakarta dan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.
Menurut Dinas Kebersihan DKI Jakarta (2007) produksi sampah di DKI Jakarta perharinya mencapai 26.945 m3 atau setara dengan 6.000 ton per hari, yang terdidir dari 55% sampah organik dan 45% sampah anorganik. Diantara 45% sampah anorganik, plastik meduduki tempat kedua teratas (13,25%) setelah sampah kertas (20,57%). Ini berarti ada sekitar 1.000ton sampah plastik per hari diproduksi di Jakarta.
Sedangkan di Kota Yogyakarta, menurut  Badan Lingkungan Hidup (BLH) setempat memperkirakan volume sampah di Kota kecil ini, baik itu dari rumah tangga maupun pusat ekonomi mencapai 300 ton per hari.
Jadi bisa dibayangkan banyaknya sampah seluruh kota dalam sehari. Apa jadinya bila sampah-sampah ini tidak tertangani? Tentunya tidak mustahil kalau kota kita tertimbun oleh sampah bukan? Karenanya, kita dianjurkan untuk meminimalkan terjadinya pembuangan sampah terutama yang tergolong sampah B3.
Penanggulangan Sampah
Dengan jumlah yang sangat besar dan juga bahaya akan timbulnya penyakit karena lingkungan menjadi tidak sehat, apa yang harus kita lakukan dengan sampah ini?? Ada beberapa hal kreatif dan efektif yang bisa kita lakukan yaitu menerapkan prinsip 4R: Replace (mengganti), Reduce (mengurangi), Re-use (memakai), dan Recycle (daur ulang).
Replace
Ganti dengan barang ramah lingkungan.
Teliti barang yang kita pakai sehari-hari. Gantilah barang barang yang hanya bisa dipakai sekali dengan barang yang lebih tahan lama. Juga telitilah agar kita hanya memakai barang-barang yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Misalnya, ganti kantong keresek kita dengan keranjang bila berbelanja, dan jangan pergunakan styrofoam karena kedua bahan ini tidak bisa didegradasi secara alami.
Reduce
Kurangi Sampah!.
Kita bisa mencoba cara-cara ini :
  • Membawa tas belanja sendiri untuk mengurangi sampah kantong plastik pembungkus barang belanja
  • Membeli kemasan isi ulang untuk shampoo dan sabun daripada membeli botol baru setiap kali habis
  • Membeli susu, makanan kering, deterjen, dan lain-lain dalam paket yang besar daripada membeli beberapa paket kecil untuk volume yang sama.
Re-use
Gunakan sisa sampah yang masih bisa dipakai!
Beberapa contoh kita dapat melakukan cara-cara ini :
  • Memanfaatkan botol-botol bekas untuk wadah
  • Memanfaatkan kantong plastik bekas kemasan belanja untuk pembungkus
  • Memanfaatkan pakaian atau kain-kain bekas untuk kerajinan tangan, perangkat pembersih (lap), maupun berbagai keperluan lain nya.
Recycle
Daur Ulang Sampah!
Foto oleh : Ardes collection
Daur ulang sendiri memang tidak mudah, karena kadang dibutuhkan teknologi dan penanganan khusus. Tapi kita bisa membantu dengan cara-cara ini :
  • Mengumpulkan kertas, majalah, dan surat kabar bekas untuk di daur ulang
  • Mengumpulkan sisa-sisa kaleng atau botol gelas untuk di daur ulang
  • Menggunakan berbagai produk kertas maupun barang lainnya hasil daur ulang.
Beberapa contoh hasil daur ulang sampah adalah tas daur ulang, map daur ulang, tempat tisue, kertas daur ulang, pupuk kompos, dan lain sebagainya.

Nah, dengan adanya beberapa cara mengelola sampah ini kita bisa ikut mengurangi jumlah dan bahaya yang ditimbulkan sampah. Bahkan dengan pengelolaan yang baik, sampah bisa menjadi salah satu solusi untuk meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat kita.

Pulau Terkecil Dunia Ternyata Ada di Indonesia

Kalimantan Barat merupakan daerah dengan beragam objek wisata yang memesona. Mulai dari Tugu Khatulistiwa dan Sungai Kapuasnya yang tersohor, pantai-pantainya yang tak kalah indah, hingga beragam panorama alamnya yang belum terjamah. Belum lagi kekhasan budaya dari masyarakat


Salah satu di antara berbagai objek wisata yang ada di Kalimantan Barat, ada satu yang sangat unik dan pastinya hanya ada di Kalimantan Barat saja. Ialah pulau Simping. Pulau yang dahulunya dikenal dengan nama pulau Kelapa Dua ini terletak di Teluk Mak Jantu', tepatnya berada di kawasan Sinka Island Park, Singkawang.


Yang menjadikan Pulau ini sangat unik adalah keberadaannya yang ternyata merupakan 'PULAU TERKECIL DI DUNIA'. Rekor ini sendiri sudah dicatat oleh PBB, sehingga keberadaannya sebagai pulau terkecil sudah diakui oleh dunia internasional. Hmm, unik bukan?




Pulau ini merupakan daratan yang tediri dari pasir dan bebatuan yang ditumbuhi beberapa pohon di atasnya. Di sana juga terdapat semacam klenteng kecil tempat warga tiong hoa setempat biasa sembahyang. Di pulau mungil ini juga tersedia suguhan pemandangan pantai, laut, dan perbukitan yang apik mengelilinginya. Tak heran jika pulau ini hampir tak pernah sepi pengunjung.


Lokasi objek wisata ini cukup mudah dijangkau. Dari kota Pontianak hingga ke Sinka Island Park sendiri memakan waktu sekitar 3-4 jam perjalanan. Untuk dapat menyeberang ke pulau ini tidaklah sulit karena sudah ada jembatan yang menghubungkannya ke pantai, sehingga anda bisa mencapainya dengan berjalan kaki saja. Tertarik untuk berkunjung ?
