Selimbau

Selimbau was a Hindu river kingdom on the upper Kapuas in what is now West Kalimantan. Local tradition called it Pelembang and named Bindu Mahkota as its founder; in 1337 it lay near the kingdom of Silat.

Selimbau's rulers eventually converted to Islam. In 1823 Selimbau made its first treaty with the Dutch. By then its war parties had carried its power from the upper Silat to the headwaters of the Kapuas.
