Etymology

edit

The name Mangupura is a compound of two words, mangu (from Old Javanese mango, lango, langu, and langen, all of which mean the feeling of being captivated or allured by beauty or everything wonderful in general), and pura (from a Sanskrit word pur, which means a town, castle, or fortified city). Thus, the name Mangupura implies that it is a captivating city, a place to find beauty, peace and happiness, a city that brings prosperity to its people, and the capital that fosters a sense of security for the people.
