Inderapura (Minangkabau: Karajaan Indopuro, other name: Inderapura Dārul Qarār), also known as Ujung Pagaruyung, was a kingdom located in the Pesisir Selatan Regency, present-day West Sumatra, bordering Bengkulu Province[1] and Jambi. Officially, the kingdom was a vassal of the Pagaruyung Kingdom, although in practice it was independent and free to manage its internal and external affairs.[2][3] The kingdom in its heyday covered the west coast of Sumatra from Padang in the north to Sungai Hurai in the south.[4] Inderapura's most important products were pepper and gold.[5]
The influence of the Inderapura Kingdom reached Banten on the island of Java. Based on the Sajarah Banten, the Sultanate of Banten had made trade contacts with the Inderapura Kingdom which was marked by the gift of a kris from Sultan Munawar Syah to Sultan Hasanuddin.[6][7][8] According to Hamka, Sultan Munawar Syah married his daughter to Hasanuddin and gifted Silebar (a pepper-producing area in Bengkulu) to the Sultanate of Banten.[9][10][11][12]
