General overview
Bungurjaya administratively belongs to Kecamatan Pondoksalam, one of the more inland, relatively less urbanized districts of Kabupaten Purwakarta. The regency itself is situated in the west-central part of West Java province, and its character fundamentally differs from the province's major cities: the area is characterized by a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, which in Indonesian common usage is referred to as "kota pensiun," or the retiree city. Kabupaten Purwakarta is also referred to with the designations "kota tasbih" (the city of prayer beads) and "Purwakarta Istimewa" (Special Purwakarta). The regency has produced several notable West Javanese statesmen for Indonesia: Kusumah Atmaja, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Indonesian Republic, who was elevated to the rank of national hero, was born here, as was Ipik Gandamana, who served as the first regent of Kabupaten Bogor, governor of West Java, and minister of internal affairs.
