Ciaruteun inscription, Stone inscription in Cibungbulang, Indonesia.
The inscription stands on a natural stone measuring 200 centimeters by 150 centimeters, located at the confluence of three rivers near Bogor.
The Sanskrit inscription dates from the 5th century during the Tarumanagara kingdom period, mentioning King Purnawarman as the regional ruler.
The text contains four lines composed in Sanskrit using Anustubh metrum, featuring carved footprints and shell characters at its conclusion.
The site lies 19 kilometers northwest of Bogor city center, with replicas available in the National Museum of Indonesia and Jakarta History Museum.
A protective shelter constructed in 1981 safeguards the eight-tonne inscription, which survived displacement during an 1893 flood and subsequent restoration.
