Negara Daha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Negara Daha was a Hindu kingdom successor of Negara Dipa that appears in the Hikayat Banjar. It was located in what is now the Regency of Hulu Sungai Selatan, Province of South Kalimantan, Republic of Indonesia.
Before the formation of the kingdoms in South Kalimantan, the people were still grouped based on the watershed area. After that, a political unit was formed that combined these groups into a kingdom, namely the Kingdom of Negara Dipa. This kingdom was later renamed Negara Daha, after the capital was moved upstream.[1]
Government structure
During the reign of the Kingdom of Negara Daha, the center of government in the South Kalimantan area was located in Muhara Hulak, Nagara.[2]
The Kingdom of Negara Daha also has a trading port in Muara Bahan, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency.[3]
The original inhabitants of the Daha Kingdom came from the Banjar Masih people.[4] They inhabit the lower reaches of the Barito and Batang Banyu rivers and speak Banjarese. In addition, there is the occupation of the Banjar Kuala people, the Banjar Pahuluan people, and the Dayak people.[5]
