Bajang queen in the history of the Queen Bajang probably built around the 13th century s / d 14th century AD . Queen Bajang name was first found in Oudheidkundig Versalag ( OV ) in 1915 , which states that the building has been repaired with reinforcement at corners by filling species from a mixture of fine sand on the PC and nat - nat is tenuous . Long before that , the people around Trowulan have called it.
Bajang means small / dwarf , as well as Pabajangan word meaning a small child 's grave . According to the locals said , Arch Bajang Queen is a building constructed to commemorate Jayanegara as Crown Prince in the womb during the Majapahit which he has been crowned the Kumaraja ( Viceroy ) . Another opinion says that the Arch was built to commemorate Queen Bajang a crown prince in the womb during the Majapahit had become king ( determined to be King Substitute ) but the crown baby later died at birth and failed to become the King (Queen).
In Pararaton explained that Jayanegara died in 1328 AD
The text reads : " sira dhinarmeng Kapopongan , bhisekering cranggapura , pratistaning antawulan . " Said cranggapura the same as the estimated Pararaton Cri Ranggapura in Nagarakertagama , sedangan Antarwulan ( Trowulan ) equals Antarisasi . Thus , On this basis it can be said that the Dharma ( sacred place ) located in King Jayanegara Kapopongan aka Cri Cranggapura or Ranggapura . Pratistanya ( sacred buildings ) are in Antarwulan / Antarisasi or Trowulan .
Jayanegara ( Kalagement ) is the king of Majapahit who ruled between the years of 1309 to 1328 AD He was the son of Kertarajasa with Dyah Sri Tribhuwaneswari . In the inscription which dates to 1245 Taharu Çaka ( 1323 AD ) , Jayanegara mentioned by name Sundara Pandyadewadhiswara Cri glass . At the time of his father still ruled in 1218 that the S ( 1296 AD ) , he was crowned as King Young ( Kumararaja ) with the name of Sri Jayanegara empowerment . This may have something to do with the name Bajang Queen , which was crowned when still " bajang " so clearly the queen ( king ) while still ' bajang ' or Queen or Bajang Bajang and Queen became the title attached to it .
Can be inferred with respect to the above description , the Queen allegedly Bajang gate function as the entrance to a sacred building ( commemorating the death of Jayanegara ) Negarakertagama mentioned that the return to the world of Vishnu . These allegations led to the relief of the Sri Tanjung fragment and a fragment of the Ramayana reliefs that have meaning as a symbol series release / death . The restoration and Utilization Gate Queen Bajang restored since 1985/1986 to 1991/1992 . Restoration is part of a larger project activity restoration / maintenance of the former capital of Majapahit in Trowulan .
