Purwakarta, Administrative regency in West Java, Indonesia
The regency spans 971 square kilometers of land with seventeen districts and contains both urban settlements and agricultural territories at 152 meters elevation.
The region underwent administrative changes in 1949 when Karawang was divided, establishing the eastern portion as Purwakarta Regency with its current boundaries.
The population follows Sundanese traditions while maintaining religious diversity, as demonstrated by the Harmoni Award received for promoting interfaith understanding.
The Cipularang Toll Road connects the regency to major cities, with two strategic gates providing direct access to Bandung and Jakarta.
The Waduk Jatiluhur reservoir within the regency forms an 83-square-kilometer freshwater lake, supporting water management and agriculture across the region.
