Mahakarma was believed to be the most famous ruler of Gangga Negara. The mystic prince was vividly described in the Hikayat SiMiskin. I personally found a pillar base of the palace in 1972 about 200 meters from the possible site of the palace but like the other mystic items, it disappeared from us the next day.This site was actually on the beach, you can still see the evidence of the former beach till today, but due to the serious silting of the Bruas River over a period of 1500 years, the location is now about 5 kms from the sea. In the 60's before the whole area was developed & destroyed by Gula Perak Plantation Bhd, the mystic environment could be strongly felt & nobody dared to venture to the location of the palace. The pool once used by the Gangga Negara's princess was visited by a number of local villagers during this period. This also the site of the greatest war between Gangga Negara & the invaders from India in 1400's.The remain of the blood from those former soldiers can still be seen until today stretching up to almost 16 kms continously.
