The relief at the keris gandhik, could be Airlangga (991 in Bali, and 1049 in Java). He was the only raja (king) of the Kingdom of Kahuripan, which was built out of the rubble of the Kingdom of Medang after the Srivijaya invasion. Picture of a relief below is the deified statue of King Airlangga depicted as Vishnu mounting Garuda, found in Candi (Temple) Belahan, collection of Trowulan Museum, East Java, Indonesia.
