Masjid Agung Demak (or the Great Demak Mosque) is one of the oldest mosques in Indonesia It is
located in the center town of Demak, Central Java Indonesia. The mosque is believed to be built by Sunan
Kalijaga, one of the Wali Songo (nine Muslim saints) during the first Demak Sultanate ruler, Raden Patah
during the 15th century. This mosque is the proof of glory achieved by the Demak Bintoro kingdom as the first
Islamic kingdom in Java island.
Masjid Agung Demak is the classic example of a traditional Javanese mosque. It is built from timber.
The tiered roof is supported by four enormous teak pillars. This means that the mosque is rather small when
compared to many modern Indonesian mosques. The tiered roof shows many similarities with wooden
religious structures from the Hindu-Buddhist civilizations of Java and Bali. The main entrance of Masjid
Agung Demak consists of two doors carved with motifs of plants, vases, crowns and an animal head with an
open wide-toothed mouth. It is said that picture depicts the manifested thunder caught by Ki Ageng Selo,
hence their name “Lawang Bledheg” (the doors of thunder).
Our first family camping trip was an experience not to be forgotten. We chose a camping vacation
because we knew it would be less expensive. We went to the camping site near the lake but unfortunately the
site was very crowded. So we moved to the site near the forest. I felt very excited but my sister was little bit
afraid. She didn’t want to meet wild animals in the forest. My father calmed her. We set up our tent and made
a fire. My dad made a huge fire. After dinner, we sat around the fire. I played my guitar and everybody sang
some popular songs. Two hour later, the fire was growing dimmer and we were getting sleepy. It was really
nice to sleep under the star. The tent is warm enough. We woke up early in the morning. The view was very
beautiful. We decided to hike. In the afternoon we went back to our home. It is nice experience I promised to
come back at this place again with my friends.
