The City name after a Saint: Pangeran Jayakarta



My first ziyarah is to the Maqam of Pangeran Jayakarta. The capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta, was named after him. According to historical sources, he was from the Qadriyah Tariqah.His contributions were vital to the development of the society in Betwai. He was said to be the leader against the Dutch colonization.
