Kediri, Trading center in East Java, Indonesia

The city extends along the Brantas River at the base of Mount Wilis, with three main districts: Mojoroto, Kota, and Pesantren.

Founded in 879, Kediri developed from Dahanapura, the capital of the Panjalu kingdom, following the division of King Airlangga's territories in 1042.

The Sanskrit name Khadri refers to Indian Mulberry trees, reflecting the deep connection between local Javanese traditions and Hindu influences in the region.

The Gudang Garam tobacco factory employs over 40,000 workers, making it the primary industrial facility and economic driver of the region.

The city maintains three distinct administrative zones at just 3 meters above sea level, creating specific urban planning challenges in the river valley.
