ITS–A long time ago, there was a kingdom, named Nagara Daha. It was built by the king,Putri Kalungsu, and his daughter Raden Sari Kaburangan. The king was a loyal Shiva and built the biggest temple in South Kalimantan, named Candi Laras. After the king died, the kingdom went under the governance of Maharaja Sukarana. BeforeMaharaja Sukarana died, he wanted his grandson Pangeran Samudra to be the king. But, the governance of the kingdom was taken by Pangeran Mangkubumi (his uncle) and then given to Pangeran Tumenggung.
Pangeran Samudra was exiled to live on the bank of the River Barito. There were many villages along the riverbanks. One of them was Bandar Masih. When he finally arrived in Bandar, the governor crowned him the king. Under his governance, Bandar Masih became a developed harbor causing Tumenggungto feel threatened. War broke out. To settle peace, it was decided to perform a ship duel. However, when the two came face to face they realized that they loved each other. Sincerely, Tumenggung gaveSamudra the throne he deserved and Samudra declared Bandar Masih as the capital. The name Banjarmasin appeared because during dry season because the water tasted salty (masin).
Under Pangeran Samudra, Bandarmasin functioned as the center of the government. The day of the victory, 24 November 1526 was then commemorated as the birth of Bandarmasin. After he became a Muslim, he changed his name into Sultan Suryansah.
