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

The Kebon Kopi I inscription is a stone monument from the Tarumanagara Kingdom in Bogor showing two elephant footprints alongside Sanskrit text. The object is made of andesite and stands 69 centimeters tall, with symbols carved deep into its flat surface.

The stone monument dates from the 5th century when the Tarumanagara Kingdom ruled the region. Forest workers discovered it in 1863 while clearing land for a 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 stone sits around 19 kilometers northwest from central Bogor toward Ciampea where three rivers meet. Visitors reach the spot through local roads that pass through rural areas.

The monument has stayed at its original discovery site since it was found. Three rivers surround the inscription, preserving the archaeological context to this day.
