Abstract

Candi Bojongmenje merupakan salah satu artefak sejarah Jawa Barat. Publikasi seputar Candi Bojongmenje tidak banyak dibandingkan candi-candi lainnya di Pulau Jawa karena literatur yang membahas candi ini masih sedikit. Candi Bojongmenje ditemukan pada 2002 di Kampung Bojongmenje, Desa Cangkuang, Rancaekek, Kabupaten Bandung. Keberadaan candi ini diketahui sejak abad VIII M terkait erat dengan keruntuhan Kerajaan Tarumanegara dan berdirinya Kerajaan Sunda. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengkaji eksistensi Candi Bojongmenje sejak abad VIII M pasca runtuhnya Kerajaan Tarumanegara pada abad VII M dan berdirinya Kerajaan Sunda Abad X M. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sejarah, dimana penulis melakukan proses Heuristik, Kritik, Interpretasi dan menyajikan hasil penelitian dalam bentuk Historiografi. Hasil penelitian membuktikan, keberadaan Candi Batujaya sejak abad VII M menjadi bukti runtuhnya Kerajaan Tarumanegara pasca penyerbuan Jayasana dari Kerajaan Sriwijaya dan sempat eksisnya kebudayaan Budha di tanah Sunda. Keberadaan Candi Bojongmenje sejak abad VIII M menjadi bukti masih eksisnya kebudayaan Tarumanegara di daerah pedalaman pasca penyerbuan Sriwijaya yang menjadi cikal bakal berdirinya Kerajaan Sunda pada abad X M.   Bojongmenje Temple is one of the artefacts of west Java history. The publication of Bojongmenje Temple is not much compared to other temples in Java Island because the literature that discusses this temple is still small. Bojongmenje Temple was found in 2002 in Kampung Bojongmenje Cangkuang Village, Rancaekek, Bandung Regency. The existence of this temple is closely related to the collapse of tarumanegara kingdom in the VIIth century AD and the establishment of sunda kingdom in the X century M. The purpose of this research is to examine the cause of the construction of Bojongmenje Temple in the 8th century AD after the collapse of tarumanegara kingdom in the VII century AD and then the establishment of sunda kingdom in century X M. This research uses historical methods, where the author conducts heuristic process, criticism, interpretation and presents the results of this study in the form of Historiography. The results prove, the existence of Batujaya Temple in the 7th century AD became the cause of the collapse of tarumanegara kingdom after the invasion of Jayasana from Srivijaya Kingdom and the existence of Buddhist culture in sundanese land. Keberadaan Bojongmenje Temple in the 8th century AD became evidence of the existence of Tarumanegara culture in the hinterland after the invasion of Srivijaya which became the forerunner of the establishment of the Sunda Kingdom in the X century AD.
