Linggo Asri holiday destination

freelance11


 * Linggo Asri, Kajen, Pekalongan Regency, Central Java.


 The emergence of the village of Linggo Asri, Kajen, Pekalongan Regency, according to the story that has spread, long ago there was a linga stone which in Hinduism is a symbol of the god Shiva.

 ' The area is actually owned by the forestry department, which is predominantly planted with rubber trees, but there are also many pine trees that add to the beauty and the view is so cool that it can be used as a tourist reference and there is still much more that you can explore, such as the history and rides provided at the Longgo Asri tourist attraction.



  " With its uphill access, the route to the Linggo Asri tourist area always gets the adrenaline pumping. The beautiful natural scenery and smooth roads make it easy for drivers to navigate. 

  "You need to pay attention to the condition of your vehicle if you want to visit there. Because of its high location, the route you'll definitely be on is uphill. 

  " as in the following video, which we and our documentation team deliberately used mobile cameras while visiting the area.




https://maps.app.goo.gl/mL3Gr5cZXMC8u5ES6



 The linga stone is long and is considered a symbol that the village is old and full of historical relics.


 Some of the indigenous people still embrace Hinduism and often perform Hindu religious rituals such as Nyepi or praying to the Almighty.

They also do earth alms, around the area of the linga stone.

Not a few Lingga people also adhere to Buddhism and animism.

The spread of Hinduism did not immediately erase the animist beliefs that were originally held by the Lingga community.

 
 However, animist beliefs are starting to disappear in some areas adjacent to Lingga village, such as Kajen (Paninggaran) sub-district, Kedungwuni sub-district and Wonopringgo sub-district.


  What is unique, especially in Lingga village, is that people often still carry out the tradition of placing stones which are generally called menhirs.


 The stone was placed in a location or place which according to the local community is prone to disaster (haunted).


 Local people believe that placing these stones can prevent disasters or what the Javanese call pageblug.


 The word 'asri' was given because the people of Lingga village hoped to make their village asri. This name appeared in the 1900s.


 The arrival of Hinduism in Lingga village was quickly accepted by the local community because it was similar to the animist beliefs they previously held.


 The ritual that the Lingga village community often performs on the stone, after further investigation, it turns out that the Lingga stone is used as a medium for worshipping the god Iswara, which is still related to the god Shiva.


 This is proven by the existence of Sanskrit writings written before the 6th century AD.


Wisata lingga asri




 Even today, the people of Lingga village still often perform religious rituals in the Lingga stone area.

 Every time Syiwaratri approaches, the people of Lingga Asri village who still adhere to Hindu beliefs flock to the Lingga stone area to perform puja.

 Syiwaratri itself is when the night is really dark or during a lunar eclipse, it is believed that on that night the god Shiva sends blessings to those who are devoted.

 Linggo Asri has several tourist destinations such as white water rafting and natural tourism with cool air because it is located in the mountains.

 Linggo Asri, surrounded by rubber and pine trees, presents a beautiful and cool view along the road, which also includes the Pekalongan - Banjarnegara provincial route.

Linggo Asri also has a campground that is often used for family events or just vacations.

" If you want to explore and get your adrenaline pumping, maybe this reference could be one of them.
  
 ' Come visit and enjoy the natural panorama that is still pristine there, invite your family to spend time because all the facilities are available at the Linggo Asri Kajen tourist attraction.

 'Access to this location is very easy to access, because it is located on the provincial route towards Dieng Wonosobo, which we might review in the next episode.

That concludes our review of Linggo Asri. Hopefully, it adds to your list of vacation destinations. Thank you for participating.

 ' Widuri is located at the very tip of Pemalang district, my birthplace, maybe around 4km from where I live now.


 Widuri is under the management of the local government, but supervision is still carried out by the Sugihwaras sub-district because it is within the Nyam area.

 
As time goes by, Widuri beach continues to be improved, including road access and the traders who were previously not well-organized are now better.

 However, there are times when the waves are quite strong, visitors are also given a warning not to play on the beach first to avoid unwanted incidents.

to protect the heart of her husband who was away at war.

When Nyai Widuri's husband returned from war, he was very surprised to find a used drinking glass, as if there was someone other than Nyai Widuri.


then asked Nyai Widuri, whose glass is this..
However, Nyai Widuri argued that the glass belonged to a fisherman who had been leaning nearby for a while.


Her husband also didn't really believe Nyai Widuri's words,,

Finally, Nyai Widuri made her oath to her husband, with a keris, Nyai Widuri stabbed it into her stomach,,
with a keris stuck in her stomach, Nyai Widuri said her promise.


Nyai Widuri swears that if the blood that comes out is red she has kept her promise to her husband, but if the blood that comes out is blue then she has broken it.


but it turned out that the blood that came out of her stomach was blue and flowed down and wet the sand, then Nyai Widuri died and finally the area was named Widuri Beach.


 " That's the history and joy passed down through generations among the people of Pemalang,,,

 "especially those living around Widuri Beach. Come and enjoy a vacation at Widuri Beach, its white sand and calm waves, perfect for swimming or simply playing in the sand.

 ' You can visit the area just for a vacation or to spend time with your friends.

  "There, you can fish, play in the sand, and even swim, as the waves are relatively gentle (small). 

  Various types of fish live there, such as mullet, gillnet, brahma, and others. To the west, there's also a shipyard docked there, as this is where fish auctions are held, including those in Pemalang City, as well as other auctions in other locations.

* History among the local community


 In ancient times, around 1767, it was mentioned in the national history journal that a nobleman from the Demak Sultanate was mentioned.


 His name was Raden Aryo Wiryo, he felt bored with the situation around the palace where there were often conflicts between brothers and struggles for the leadership throne within the palace.


 The situation was getting more and more chaotic, making Raden Aryo Wiryo decide to leave the palace area.

 Finally, Raden Aryo Winaryo decided to leave and departed with his wife, who was better known as Nyai Tumbu.


 After several years, he also immortalized the kingdom of Mataram, during the glory days of Sultan Agung Hanyorokusumo 
 at thats time.

 He was also assigned by Sultan Agung Hanyorokusumo to the Cirebonan......
 " Maybe in another review we can provide a more in-depth description of the Cirebon Sultanate... back to the main topic.

  "Long story short, after the end of his term of service, Raden Aryo Winaryo decided to settle on the slopes of Mount Slamet, which is now the GUCI area.


 At that time, the area was still a wilderness, but as time went by, many people heard and decided to study with Raden Aryo Winaryo and then settled there.


 Because many people wanted to stay and study with him, the area was finally named Keputihan Village (because its condition was still original and had not been touched by religions other than Islam).


 Once upon a time, there was a pageblug (a disaster such as a landslide and an itchy disease or what the Javanese call gudiken) like there are small wounds but they spread all over the body, from the feet to the hands ,, the beliefs of the people at that time.


 At that time, a traveler from the Gunung Jati Islamic Boarding School came who was none other than a student of Sunan Gunung Jati who is better known as Kyai Elang Sutajaya.


 Finally, Kyai Elang Sutajaya invited Raden Aryo Winaryo and the surrounding residents to pray to Allah SWT by adapting the ritual customs which are now called Ruwat Bumi.


 "This ritual is carried out by slaughtering livestock, crops and vegetables which are distributed to the poor or travelers,,
'which until now is often carried out in the month of Ashura or in the Islamic calendar the month of Mukharam until now And it is highly respected because it has been passed down from generation to generation.


After praying, Sunan Gunung Jati also agreed to attend, but he appeared in a supernatural way and then gave a jar that had been given a prayer by Sunan Gunung Jati to Kyai Elang Sutajaya.


After the gift of the jar from Sunan Gunung Jati, the surrounding area finally became peaceful again, which is now called the jar.


* Well... that's a short story among the local community around the Guci tourist attraction, which is perhaps still believed in today because it has been passed down through generations among the local community itself.
