In Putrajaya to look for the seat of an ancient kingdom

Monday, 27th October, the Indian holy day of Deepavali, a national holiday in Malaysia. While most people would celebrate by visiting folks and friends (as it turned out, it was also the last few days of the Muslim festive month of Syawal), I felt like going to the federal capital of Putrajaya to look for the seat of an ancient kingdom...

I first learned about the kingdom after watching a segment on the night-news on TV3 sometime half a year ago, if I remember correctly. Since then, I thought I would have a look but it's only that day that I actually tried to look for the place said to be somewhere in Presint 4.

That's when I arrived at this parts of Putrajaya for the first time ever. For the record, I've been to the new federal administrative capital several times including from its physical inception more than 10 years ago, when I was first invited as a journalist to have a look at its progress...

Hmm... Now I know there's some sort of waterfall down there...

This is the hill nearby which fits the picture and description about the existence of the seat of an ancient kingdom as seen on TV3 sometime ago.

This is a picture of parts of central Putrajaya as seen from in front of the hill. So is this really the seat (or site? both words could be used but the word seat is more specific implying it as the centre) of an ancient kingdom? Do have a look at the article Tapak kerajaan lama di Putrajaya? (Site of an old kingdom in Putrajaya?) posted in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART) yesterday. Good night! :]
