The king of Kediri Kingdom in East Java, Kertajaya thought himself as a deity, and he was opposed by the

Brahmana (priests) caste. When he threated the Brahmanas, they ran to Tumapel and asked the ruler,
Ken Arok, for his protection. Ken Arok thought that Kediri army would attack his territory, and ordered
his troops to fortify.

Kediri army came to Tumapel as Arok was expecting. The Battle of Ganter, in 1222, was the end of Kediri
Kingdom, then Ken Arok formed his own empire, Singosari.

Ken Arok proclaimed himself as the son of Shiva.

Historians has been argued on Ken Arok's new dynasty because his origin wasn't clear . Who is he? Why
he could forma kingdom? Does he have a dark past?

After Kertajaya lost, the Kediri Kingdom was ruled by Tunggul Ametung. He had a very beautiful wife,
Ken Dedes. A statue in Leiden Museum, Netherlands, shows Ken Dedes as Prajnaparamitha, Goddess of
Wise.
One day Ken Arok accidentaly saw Ken Dedes, then a wind hiked her gown. Suddenly Ken Arok got a
vision, that he had to have Ken Dedes as his wife, at any risk.

Ken Arok decided to kill Tunggul Ametung.

He ordered a "keris" (a sacred short sword) to a priest, Mpu Gandring. It took a long time to make a
"keris" because only englighted priest could make it, and they had to do some rituals for that.
Ken Arok was impatient to wait the keris to be done. His lust to Ken Dedes is getting bigger and bigger.
He came up to Mpu Gandring to ask if the keris was completed. When Mpu Gandrig said no, Ken Arok
kill him with that incompleted keris.

Before he died, Mpu Gandring cursed the keris.

Later, Ken Arok lent the keris to Kebo Ijo, a petty criminal Kebo Ijo was so proud. that he showed the
keris to everyone. At night, Ken Arok stole the keris again, and he succesfully kill Tunggul Ametung. Kebo
Ijo was framed as the killer, but before he could talk, Ken Arok killed him with the keris.

In the 5th year of his reign, a man called Anusapati wanted the throne of Singosari from Ken Arok. Ken
Arok had abandoned Mpu Gandring's keris but Anusapati killed him with that.

Ken Arok had a concubine named Ken Umang, and their son, Tohjaya decided the revenge.

At the 21th year of Anusapati's rule, Tohjaya invited Anusapati for gambling, and when Anusapati was
having fun, Tohjaya killed Anusapati, again with Mpu Gandring's keris.

After Anusapati's death, his son Ranggawuni wanted the throne. Tohjaya sent Lembu Ampal to attack
Ranggawuni and his companion, Mahesa Cempaka. Lembu Ampal realized that Ranggawuni was the
right person to be the king, and they fought against Tohjaya. Tohjaya was killed with Mpu Gandring's
keris.

Ranggawuni and Mahesa Cempaka realized that Mpu Gandring's keris would only make chaos and
death, so they threw the keris to the Java Sea. Legend said that the keris turned to be a dragon.

After it become common knowledge that the Kris was belong to Kebo Ijo, Ken Aro stole and used it to
stab Tunggal Ametung (kutukan tersebut tidak sedikitpun menggangu fikirannya, dia pinjamkan kris
tersebut kepada temannya, Keo ijo yang suka berbohong dan suka pamer. Suatu hari Kebo Ijo
memamerkan Kris tersebut kepada teman – teman tentaranya dan mengaakan bahwa kris tersebut
adalah miliknya. Setelah semua orang tahu bahwa kris tersebut miliknya, Ken Arok mencurinya lagi dan
membunuh Tungga Ametung).

As Ken Aro has planned, people accuse Kebo Ijo was a murder of Tunggul Ametung. Ken Arok walked
freely, he took over Tunggul Ametung place and the chief and married Ken Dedes. Soon after he became
the chief, Ken Arok conquered Kediri kingdom which under King Kertajaya ruled (1122-1222) (seperti
yang sudah direncanakan Ken Arok, Semua orang menuduh Kebo Ijo sebagai pembunuh Tunggal
Ametung. Ken Arok hidup bebas, ia kemudian mengambil alih posisi Tunggal Ametung untuk menjadi
kepala pemimpin an kemudian menikahi Ken Dedes. Tida lama setelah itu, Ken Arok menakhlukkan
kerajaan Kediri yang mana dipimpin oleh Raja Kertajaya (1122-1222)) .

He declared the establishment of Singasari Kingdom and made himself its first king entitle Rajasa Batha
Sang Amurwabhumi. Ken arok had a son from his marriage with Ken Dedes, named Mahisa
Wongateleng, and he had another son from his second marriage with Ken Umang named Tohjaya (dia

yang di pangil Rajasa Batha Sang Amurwabhumi. Ken Arok meiliki seorang anak dari pernikahannya
bersama Ken Dedes, bernama Mahisa Wongteleng, dan memiliki seorang anak lelaki lagi dari pernikahan
keduanya bersama Ken Umang bernama Tohjaya).

Then, Mpu Gandring’s curse started to happen. Anusupati killed Ken Arok and took over his throne,
Tohjaya came up and killed Anusupati and claimed the throne. In turn, Ranggawuni, Anusupati’s son,
killed Tohjaya and came to reign. Ranggawuni was addressed Jayawisnuwardhana and ruled Singasari
from 1227 until 1268. Jayawisnuwardhana was succeeded by his son, Joko Dolog, who was called
Kertanegara (1268-1292) (kemudian, kutukan Mpu Gandring mulai terjadi. Anusupati membunuh Ken
Arok dan mengambil alih kekuasaannya, Tohjaya datang dan membunuh Ausupati dan duduk sebagai
raja. Kemudian, Ranggawuni, putra Anusupati membunuh Tohjaya dan menjadi raja. Ranggawuni
dipanggil dengan nama Jayawisnuwardhana dan memimpin Singasari dari 1227 sampai 1268.
Jayawisnuwardhana kemudian diteruskan oleh anaknya Joko dolog, yang memiiki nama Kartanegara
(1268-1292) ).
Kertanegara was the last of Singasari kings. He was overthrown by Jayakatwang, the king of Kediri.
Jayakatwang, however, was defeated by Kertanegara’s son-in-law, Raden Wijaya, who was the
descendant of Mahisa Wongateleng and King Udayana from Bali (Kertanegara adalah raja terakhir dari
kerajaan Singasari. Dia dikalahkan oleh Jayakatwang, raja adri Kediri. Jayakatwang, kemudian di
kalahkan oleh menantu Kertanegara, Raden Wijaya, yang merupakan keturunan dari Mahisa Wongteleg
an King Udayana dari Bali).

Later, Raden Wijaya established a new kingdom named Majapahit and ruled the kingdom from an area
called Tarik (Trowulan). Singasari Temple is located at Candi Renggo village, Singosari Subdistrict, about
9 km from Malang city (kemudian, Raden Wijaya membangun kerajaan baru bernama Maja Pahit dan
mengusai daerah area Tarik (Trowulan). Candi Singasari berada di desa Candi Renggo, Kampung
Singosari, berada kira – kira 9 km dari kota malang).
