Kebon Kopi I inscription, Ancient stone inscription in Bogor, Indonesia.

The Kebon Kopi I inscription features two carved elephant footprints alongside Sanskrit text engraved on a flat andesite stone measuring 69 centimeters in height.

Dating back to the 5th century during the Tarumanagara Kingdom, this inscription was discovered in 1863 by forest workers clearing land for Jonathan Rigg's coffee plantation.

The Sanskrit text and elephant footprint carvings demonstrate the connection between King Purnawarman and the Hindu deity Indra through the symbolism of Airavata elephant.

The inscription stands at the confluence of three rivers - Cisadane, Cianten, and Ciaruteun, located 19 kilometers northwest of central Bogor toward Ciampea.

The inscription remains in its original discovery location, positioned among three intersecting rivers, preserving its archaeological context for contemporary research and documentation.
