This is my first post, I want to tell a little about history ie krueng daroy.
Putroe Phang complex, so another name of us is an empress of Sultan Iskandar Muda. Possibly said Putroe Phang is quite familiar to you who are in Banda Aceh surrounding, from where the story and love story is anchored so that Krueng Daroy also present a complement in the garden of Ghairah these kings.
Formerly the Putroe Phang complex united with Gunongan and Kandang buildings before being separated by the current highway, from the side of the Gunongan building that flowed the cool water from Mata Ie (spring) to Krueng Aceh.
Gunongan built Sultan Iskandar Muda in his time ruled around the year 1607-1636. This small mountain-shaped building was made exclusively for the queen, Princess Kamaliah. Not without reason, the building that until this stands firmly in the center of Banda Aceh city was built by Iskandar Muda to treat the longing of Princess Kamaliah with his hometown, Negeri Pahang, Malaysia.
That is, Krueng Daroy which we can still see beside Gunongan building. This river was also intentionally made by Iskandar Muda to flow water from Mata Ie to Krueng Aceh, through the Sultan's palace complex (Daruddonya), from there it would also look a small pinto which is now better known as Pinto Khob, as the entrance for the empress to play in park Ghairah.
The coolness of the water from Krueng Daroy was also depicted in Rafly's song, "ie jihile jeurneh hana ban / Sang sang cit ie nyan lam kulam glass lagee krueng kal kausar lam syuruga lapan / keu ie seumbahyang raja di raja", so it was then.
With this Krueng Daroy water also, the Putroe Phang bathed in Gunongan with ladies. Right in front of Gunongan there is a Leusong (Lesung), this is where the empress bathing while indulging themselves with natural fragrances such as bungong jeumpa and seulanga.
The centuries of love story of the Emperor and the Empress have passed, now the memories are only lived as far as we look. The Putroe Phang complex is now one of the green open spaces in Banda Aceh.
The existing Krueng Daroy is still intact, but the beauty that we can not see again now. If first Putroe can bathe with clear water, but now the smell is often sting and sometimes the garbage is still scattered in it.
Perhaps Ie Krueng Daroy and Putroe We are one of the historical evidence that ever existed, the King's love story to his queen. Only the present generation to interpret what has been there and keep the value of history endatu earlier.
