Majapahit – an ancient East Javanese empire which held power over much of Indonesia from A.D. 1292-1478, finally dissolved by Islamic princes around A.D. 1520. The mightiest indigenous kingdom in Indonesia’s history, Majapahit’s influence had a profound effect on the art, culture, and political organization on Bali.
