Galuh Kingdom

The Galuh Kingdom was an ancient Hindu kingdom located in West Java, Indonesia, flourishing from around the 7th to the 13th centuries. It played a significant role in regional politics, culture, and religion, serving as a center for Hindu and later Buddhist influence. Galuh was notable for its development of early Sundanese culture, including art, architecture, and language. It eventually merged with the neighboring Sunda Kingdom, forming a larger kingdom that laid foundations for later Indonesian states. Today, Galuh's legacy is reflected in archaeological sites and cultural traditions that continue to influence the region.
