    (Translated by Google) The Purwakalih site was discovered around the 1769s by a Dutch researcher, Pleyte. The name Purwakalih itself is taken from the Old Sundanese language, Purwa means first and Kalih or Galih means to shine. This site was used by ancient people to pray to ancestral spirits. The shape of the stone is indeed not so perfect as humans, because according to the people in the mass, they prioritize the nature, not from the shape. Judging from its form and function, this site was influenced by the previous Hindu kingdom, namely the kingdom of Tarumananegara which was assimilated by the Sunda Wiwitan belief, which was the original Sundanese belief, (Original) Situs Purwakalih ditemukan sekitar tahun 1769-an oleh peneliti asal Belanda, Pleyte. Nama Purwakalih sendiri diambil dari bahasa Sunda Kuno, Purwa artinya pertama dan Kalih atau Galih artinya bersinar. Situs ini digunakan oleh orang-orang zaman dulu untuk berdoa kepada arwah leluhur. Bentuk batu ini memang tidak begitu sempurna menyerupai manusia, karena menurutnya orang-orang pada massa itu, lebih mengutamakan hakikat, bukan dari bentuknya. Dilihat dari bentuk dan fungsinya, situs ini mendapat pengaruh Kerajaan Hindu sebelumnya, yakni kerajaan Tarumananegara yang berasimilasi dengan kepercayaan Sunda Wiwitan, yang merupakan kepercayaan asli orang sunda,

    Study history. Look at the remains. On a page +/- five by five meters, there is a cupola +/- two by four meters. In the cupola there are mounds of andesite stones, some of which have been carved into human shapes, that's all. What's the story? Just look at cyberspace and it will be clear. Google maps show the location is on the left side of the road in the direction or west of the road, actually it is on the right or east side of the road. Right next to the Purwakalih restaurant.

    According to the sign, the Puragalih Site is not Purwakalih. This place is a bit hidden, covered by trees. And the gate is always locked. To see it we have to climb the fence.
