Tasikmalaya Regency (pronounced [ˈtasɪʔməˈlaja]; Indonesian: Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, Sundanese: ᮊᮘᮥᮕᮒᮦᮔ᮪ ᮒᮞᮤᮊ᮪ᮙᮜᮚ) is a regency (Indonesian: kabupaten, sub-provincial region) in the province of West Java in Indonesia. With an area of 2,708.82 km2 (1,046 sq mi), it is the biggest and most important in the southeast region of East Preanger (Indonesian: Priangan Timur). Tasikmalaya Regency had a population of 1,687,776 at the 2010 census[2] and 1,865,203 at the 2020 census;[3] the mid-2023 official estimate was 1,907,045 (comprising 965,602 males and 941,443 females).[1]
The regency was previously administered from Tasikmalaya City; however, Tasikmalaya City and Tasikmalaya Regency now are administratively independent of each other, and the area and population listed above exclude the city. The administrative centre of the regency is now at Singaparna, west of the city.
Agricultural fields and forestry are the regency's dominant land uses. Most residents are farmers.[4] Tasikmalaya is a major religious centre for West Java. The regency is known as the city of Muslim students (kota santri),[5] with more than 800 traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).[6] Tasikmalaya is known for handicrafts (Indonesian: kerajinan anyaman) and salak (zalacca).[7][dead link] The regency's most famous food is hot steamed rice mixed with oncom (nasi tutug oncom).
