- Abstract
The existence of the Banjar Kingdom has been depicting in the tale of Hikajat Banjar. It was centre in Banjarmasin and Martapura. The Islamic kingdom of Banjar was a continuation of Negara Daha, the previously Hindu monarchy. During its reign, the centre of Banjar Kingdom had moved several times, leaving only the tomb complex (the tomb of the king and his relatives) who ruled at that time, and the mosque, while the other buildings remained only. This study aims to determine the typology of tombstones and the landscape of Sultan Banjar cemeteries in Banjarmasin and Martapura, which will be used as evidence of the Islamic entry process in this region. The method used is descriptive comparative with inductive reasoning. The results showed that the influence of Islam in the southern part of Kalimantan comes from Demak (Java), and Aceh, while the tomb landscape explained that the placement of the king’s tomb has similarities with the early Islamic cities in Java (Demak, Kudus, and Kotagede), which was in the centre of the kingdom. It’s just that the Banjar Kingdom tomb was close to the palace, while in Java, a royal tomb was placed near a mosque.
