RORO JONGGRANG
• Once upon a time, there was a kingdom
named Prambanan. The people lived peacefully.
However, soon their happy lives were disturbed
by Pengging Kingdom. The king, Bandung
Bondowoso, wanted to occupy Prambanan. He was
a mean king.
The war between Prambanan and Pengging could
not be avoided. Prambanan lost the war and led by
the new king, Bandung Bondowoso. Pengging could
win the war because Bandung Bondongwoso had a
supernatural power.
• His soldiers were not only humans but also genies. Those
creatures always obeyed Bandung Bondowoso. They
always did whatever Bandung Bondowoso asked them to
do. The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter. Her
name was Loro Jonggrang (Rara Jonggrang). Bandung
Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry
her.
"If you want to marry me, you have to build a thousand
of temples in just one night," said Loro Jonggrang.
She hated Bandung Bondowoso because he made the
people of Prambanan suffered.
"What? Impossible! You just gave me an excuse for not
marrying me!" said Bandung Bondowoso. But he did not
give up. He asked the genies to help him.
Then all those genies worked hard to build the 1.000 temples.
Meanwhile, Loro Jonggrang heard from the lady-inwaiting
that the building of 1.000 temples was almost finished.
She was so scared; she did not want to marry Bandung
Bondowoso. And then she had a great idea. She asked all the
ladies-inwaiting to help her.
"Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Come on! Hurry
up!" said Loro Jonggrang.
All those ladies-in-waiting were confused. They did not know
why Loro Jonggrang asked them to prepare a lot of straw and
mortars in the middle of the night.
"Listen, all those genies are building the temples, right? We
have to stop them by burning the straw and make some noise
by pounding the mortar. The genies will think that sun is
going to rise and they will run away. Genies are afraid of
sunlight."
It worked! All those genies thought that sun rose. They did not
know the light was from the fire that burning the straw. And
the noise from pounding the mortar was like the start of a
new day.
Bandung Bondowoso was angry. He knew Loro Jonggrang just
tricked him.
"You cannot fool me, Loro Jonggrang. I already have 999
temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you
the one-thousandth temple."
With his supernatural power, Bandung Bondowoso made Loro
Jonggrang a temple. Until now, the temple is still standing in
Prambanan area, Central Java. And the temple is named Loro
Jonggrang temple.
