Eps 59. Babad Gajahoya ( cikal bakal kerajaan Hastinapura)

This story tells of King Basumurti helping his older cousin, Raden Surata, son of King Oya, gain the right to the throne of the Malawa Kingdom. The story continues with Raden Basukesti performing a series of penance and the wedding of Raden Basusena, son of King Basumurti. Raden Basusena was then inaugurated as King Gajahoya, taking the title King Hastimurti. From this figure came the future kings of the Hastinapura Kingdom. This story is based on the Serat Pustakaraja Purwa (Surakarta) by Ngabehi Ranggawarsita, with slight developments. #wayang #ramayana #mahabarata #nusantara #wayangkulit
