Ngawonggo Lightning Site

 Ngawonggo Lightning Site

The Ngawonggo lightning site is located in Ngawonggo Village, Tajinan District, Malang. Geographically, Ngawonggo Village has an area of 375,628 hectares with an agricultural land area of 308,985 hectares. Ngawonggo's Lightning Site, if seen from the meaning of the word lightning, is holy water used for worship. The hope is that with the wider community recognizing the Ngawonggo Petirtaan Site, it can foster a sense of love for the country by knowing the history as well as educational facilities regarding history and culture. The Petirtaan Ngawonggo site is located between the Kemanten River (local residents usually call it the "Manten River) in the north and the irrigation canal in the south. The Petirtaan Ngawonggo site was identified as an archaeological relic originating from the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom between the 10th and 13th centuries AD (the transition period from the Kediri to Singosari kingdoms).

 Lightning Ngawonggo consists of three pool structures located in a row east-west, one relief wall, and two statue fragments. Apart from that, there were several loose finds in the form of ceramic fragments made from terracotta, porcelain, and stoneware, as well as bone fragments, tooth fragments, and metal fragments. Loose finds in the form of ceramic fragments, metal fragments, bone fragments, and tooth fragments are the results of community excavations from pond structure 2, while statue fragments in the form of jaladwara and statue head fragments were findings in 2015 that were moved by residents but returned to the site location


Apart from the cultural heritage site, in this place there is a place to eat known as Tomboan Ngawonggo. This place to eat has a unique concept that differentiates other places to eat. For example, the manager provides services to guests who visit the site by providing wedang, snacks, and main dishes (empok rice, urap, lodeh, and botok). The management does not set a price for each dish served, but guests who have made a reservation can voluntarily make donations via the box provided at Tomboan Ngawonggo. Tomboan Ngawonggo, which was initiated by its caretaker Muhammad Yasin, applies the principles of asah, asih, and nurturing; this is the main thing as educational material in the current era. For him, past culture can provide lessons; local wisdom will be able to create governance that is beneficial to the community, from irrigation of rice fields to religious rituals. Residents can also use it for tourism purposes.
Location: Ngawonggo, Kec. Tajinan, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur, Indonesia
