Kediri Kingdom, or Kāḍiri also known as Pañjalu (Javanese: ꦥꦚ꧀ꦗꦭꦸ) and Gégélang (Javanese: ꦒꦺꦒꦺꦭꦁ) in 1292-1293, was a Hindu-Buddhist Javanese kingdom based in East Java from 1042 until 1222 (1292–1293 under Jayakatwang). This kingdom is centered in the ancient city Dahanapura, despite the lack of archaeological remains, the age of Kediri saw much development in classical literature.[1] Mpu Sedah's Kakawin Bharatayuddha, Mpu Panuluh's Gatotkacasraya, and Mpu Dharmaja's Smaradhana blossomed in this era. The kingdom's capital is believed to have been established in the western part of the Brantas River valley, somewhere near modern Kediri city and surrounding Kediri Regency.[2]
