The declaration was made in Ciamis, West Java, because the glorious history of the Pasundaan land is related to the successful history of King Siliwangi who led the Pajajaran Kingdom at that time.

These two kingdoms were then united by Sri Baduga Maharaja who had the title of Prabu Siliwangi who was successful in his time.
