Ngobaran Beach, a beach with a million beauties

In addition to keeping the charm of nature that is still a virgin, this beach which is located in Kanigoro Village, Saptosari District, Gunungkidul Regency, about 65 kilometers from Yogyakarta City, also has its own uniqueness which is the hallmark of this beach, namely the existence of a temple at the end of a rock, similar to a like the temples on the island of Bali, inside the temple there are many statues of gods, besides that visitors can also see firsthand the beauty of the open sea which is so enchanting from this temple.

The name Ngobaran comes from the history of Prabu Brawijaya V who was the last king of the Majapahit Kingdom, which at the same time the Islamic Kingdom developed rapidly with the establishment of Islamic kingdoms on the north coast of Java Island in the mid-15th century AD. The fact that one of the sons of King Brawijaya V, namely Raden Patah was the ruler of the kingdom of Demak I, a kingdom on the north coast. The development of Islam on the island of Java was very rapid, until it touched the center of the Majapahit kingdom and then the Majapahit kingdom could no longer be maintained. King Brawijaya V and one of his sons, Bondan Kejawan, left the Majapahit kingdom, walked west and arrived at a very peaceful place, where King Brawijaya V and his son lived. According to sources I have read, the Prabu took this step, namely to carry out the muksa ceremony because he did not want to fight against his own son, Raden Patah (King I Demak). However, the truth of the story about Brawijaya V is now being doubted by many historians. The King is believed to perform the muksa ceremony by setting himself on fire. The flames from the muksa ceremony are what make this beach the name Ngobaran.
