Tarumanagara Kingdom or Taruma Kingdom was founded by Maharshi Rajadirajaguru Jayasingawarman in 358. The king died in 382 and succeeded by his son, Dharmayawarman (382 - 395). Jayasingawarman originated from Salankayana, Andhra Pradesh, India that collapsed after the invasion of Samudragupta from Gupta Empire.
The Tarumanagara Kingdom is identified by historians with the Tarum River region. Indonesia began to come under the influence of Hindu and Buddhist civilization during the early years of the Christian era.
The most powerful king of Tarumanegara was Purnavarman conquered neighboring countries and built a canal to improve irrigation that changed the course of the Cakung River, and drained a coastal area for agriculture and settlement.
In 669, Tarusbawa succeeded his father in-law as the thirteenth king of Tarumanagara. By that time Tarumanagara's prestige and power had been declining, probably due to the series of invasions from Srivijaya and the severance of its vassal states.
After 670, Tarumanagara was divided into two kingdoms: Sunda Kingdom and Galuh Kingdom with the Citarum river as the boundary.
