Canggal Inscription Silurah site as evidence of Indonesian history made in 732 AD by order of King Sanjaya states that "on the famous island of Java there was a king named Sanna". The great Sanna or "Mahasanna" then changed to Mahasin and people now call it Masin, a village in the District of Warungasem, Batang Regency. Was there a kingdom of Mahasin in this region? Such is the Mahasin kingdom with its king Senna who ruled his people fairly for a long time. In 684 AD Mahasin was attacked by Srivijaya.
Senna along with his crown prince ran south to set up a hermitage in Silurah Village, marked by a mysterious site with a statue of Ganesha and other Hindu relics, while Sanjaya as the crown prince was evacuated south at the foot of Mount Merapi. As a place of escape, until now the Silurah site still smells mystical which states that government employees are prohibited from approaching the area. Besides the Ganesya statue located in the valley of the meeting between the Retno river and the Semilir river, there are still many ancient relics in the Silurah Village of Wonotunggal District, such as the phallus and yoni as a symbol of fertility and the terraces of the former temple ruins.

     At the beginning of the century BC, there was a process of large-scale migration of the Kalinga population to various parts of Asia, one of them to the island of Java.

   according to some sources, the migration was caused by the attack of the Ashoka kingdom which was located north of the Kalingga kingdom, but according to a researcher from France, the migration was just an ordinary migration in order to expand the scope of the kalingga nation's trade which later became a means of spreading culture.

    The migration process has a big influence both in the fields of faith, technology, to literature. Even how to grow rice is suspected to be one of the technologies brought by the Kaligga people to the Land of Java. In a certain period of time, there was a continuous process of civilization, until finally Dieng became a large civilization system and at the same time the forerunner to the founding of the Ancient Mataram Dynasty (Sanjaya and Syailendra) which reached its peak in the 8-9 century AD, with evidence of its heritage in the form the temples that we still can see from the remains.

     The migration is not a process of spontaneous displacement but is arranged with a mature plan. Before the migration process was carried out, they had searched for places deemed appropriate for moving the symbolic "paradise" in the Himalayas to the land of Java. And the place that is considered fitting is Dieng. Therefore, Dieng became pingkalingganing Bhawana (World Axis)

    The name Dieng itself was motivated by the event of the removal of the symbol of heaven by Sang Hyang Djagadnata (Bathara Guru), as stated in the Paramayoga Fiber by R Ng Ranggawarsito? the. Dieng, which comes from Sanskrit Di, means high place or mountain and Hyang means ancestor or gods.
