Descendants of the Galuh kingdom perform the milangkala (anniversary) ceremony to mark the 1,405 years since the establishment of the Galuh kingdom in Jambansari Hall, Selagangga Sultanate site, Ciamis, West Java, Thursday (23/3). They hope the local wisdom of Galuh, such as not being greedy for power, will become a guide for social life.

The Sunda Galuh teaching, which promoted honesty and rejecting greed for power, had been synonymous with the Galuh kingdom since the early seventh century AD. The descendants of the original Galuh community in Ciamis are now trying to dig up this long-lost local wisdom, which is no longer in tune with the life of locals.

Seven leaders of the community of Galuh descendants took turns reading the history of the Galuh kingdom in the 1,405th milangkala (anniversary) of the establishment of the Galuh kingdom at the Jambansari pavilion at the site of the Selagangga Palace in Ciamis, West Java, on Thursday (23/3/2017). The exposure of the royal family tree was held after the traditional bathing ritual of the Sunda Galuh heirlooms.
