Cibuaya

Cibuaya lies on the low northern coast of western Java, in the country of Karawang. Brick foundations and images of Vishnu testify to an early Hindu religious centre here. The stone sculptures, dated to around the seventh century, belong to the wider world of Tarumanagara, a kingdom known from inscriptions in western Java. Pottery fragments and other remains found among the ruins recall the community that once inhabited this coastal plain.

The later city of Karawang lies here.
