RORO JONGGRANG

Inside the northern chamber Shiva temple in Prambanan temple in Central Java, Indonesia,
there is a stone statue of a beautiful woman. She stands on a bull. She wears a crown and
jewelry. Her body is slim. Who is she? There is no doubt that she is Durga Mahisasuramardini,
a Hindu goddess. But the Javanese people have their own story about her. Here is the story.

A long time ago in central Java lived a wise king. His name was Prabu Boko. He had a
beautiful daughter whose name was Roro Jonggrang. They lived in a palace on top of a hill. At
present we can visit the ruins of the palace that is located about two miles south of Prambanan
temple. The palace is called kraton Boko. His country was so prosperous that another king was
jealous.

There was a neighboring kingdom under king Bandung Bondowoso. One day king
Bandung attacked Prabu Boko. In a fierce fight King Boko was killed and his kingdom was
conquered. The young Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with Roro Jonggrang when he saw her
beauty. He wanted to marry her so he proposed her. But Roro Jonggrang definitely did not want
to marry someone who had murdered her father. So, she gave a difficult condition.

She told Bandung that she would marry him if he could build one thousand temples in one
night. Bandung was surprised but he was optimistic he could meet the condition. He was a
powerful king and he had many friends among the genie and spirits. So, he asked them for
help. With the help of those invisible beings Bandung built the temples.

Meanwhile Roro Jonggrang and her people kept an eye on Bandung. When it was almost
dawn Bandung and the genie had built nine hundred ninety-nine temples. Roro Jonggrang was
very worried. If Bandung could meet her condition, she had to marry him. Then she had a bright
idea. She ordered her people to make noise and lights. Women were ordered to cook and make
noise by hitting kitchen utensils. Men were also ordered to make noise around the temples. Then
the genie thought that daylight had come. They were afraid of the sunlight so they left
immediately. Without their help Bandung was unable to finish the temple.
 Bandung was very angry. He knew that it was a dirty trick from Roro Jonggrang. Then
he cursed Roro Jonggrang into a statue. The statue of Roro Jonggrang is now inside the northern
chamber of the main temple which was dedicated to Shiva in Prambanan temple.

Long ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king
named His Majesty Prabu.

Prabu was a kind and wise king. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got any
children. The queen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle. There he prayed to God
every day, begging for a child.

A few months later, the queen got pregnant. Nine months later, a princess was born. Prabu
and Queen loved their beautiful daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made
Princess turn into a very spoiled girl.

One day, the princess celebrated her 17th birthday party. Many people gathered in the
palace. Then, Prabu took out a necklace which was made from gold and jewel.

"My beloved daughter, today I give you this necklace. Please, wear this necklace," said
Prabu.

"I don't want to wear it! It's ugly!" shouted the princess. Then she threw the necklace.
The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor. Everybody
couldn't say anything. They never thought that their beloved princess would do that cruel thing. In
their silence, people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying, too. Then,
everybody was crying. Then, there was a miracle. Earth was crying.

Suddenly, from the underground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. Soon, the
place became a big lake. The lake finally sank the kingdom.

Nowadays, people called the lake "Telaga Warna". It means "Lake of Color". On a bright
day, the lake is full of color. These colors come from shadows of forest, plants, flowers, and sky
around the lake. But some people said that the colors are from the princess's necklace, which
spreads at the bottom of the lake.

TELAGA WARNA

Zaman dahulu, ada sebuah kerajaan di Jawa Barat. Negeri itu dipimpin oleh seorang raja.
Prabu, begitulah orang memanggilnya. Ia adalah raja yang baik dan bijaksana. Tak heran, kalau
negeri itu makmur dan tenteram. Tak ada penduduk yang lapar di negeri itu.
Semua sangat menyenangkan. Sayangnya, Prabu dan istrinya belum memiliki anak. Itu
membuat pasangan kerajaan itu sangat sedih. Penasehat Prabu menyarankan, agar mereka
mengangkat anak. Namun Prabu dan Ratu tidak setuju. “Buat kami, anak kandung adalah lebih
baik dari pada anak angkat,” sahut mereka.
Ratu sering murung dan menangis. Prabu pun ikut sedih melihat istrinya.. Lalu Prabu pergi
ke hutan untuk bertapa. Di sana sang Prabu terus berdoa, agar dikaruniai anak. Beberapa bulan
kemudian, keinginan mereka terkabul. Ratu pun mulai hamil. Seluruh rakyat di kerajaan itu senang
sekali. Mereka membanjiri istana dengan hadiah.
Sembilan bulan kemudian, Ratu melahirkan seorang putri. Penduduk negeri pun kembali
mengirimi putri kecil itu aneka hadiah. Bayi itu tumbuh menjadi anak yang lucu. Belasan tahun
kemudian, ia sudah menjadi remaja yang cantik.
Prabu dan Ratu sangat menyayangi putrinya. Mereka memberi putrinya apa pun yang dia
inginkan. Namun itu membuatnya menjadi gadis yang manja. Kalau keinginannya tidak terpenuhi,
gadis itu akan marah. Ia bahkan sering berkata kasar. Walaupun begitu, orangtua dan rakyat di
kerajaan itu mencintainya.
Hari berlalu, Putri pun tumbuh menjadi gadis tercantik di seluruh negeri. Dalam beberapa
hari, Putri akan berusia 17 tahun. Maka para penduduk di negeri itu pergi ke istana. Mereka
membawa aneka hadiah yang sangat indah. Prabu mengumpulkan hadiah-hadiah yang sangat
banyak itu, lalu menyimpannya dalam ruangan istana. Sewaktu-waktu, ia bisa menggunakannya
untuk kepentingan rakyat.
Prabu hanya mengambil sedikit emas dan permata. Ia membawanya ke ahli perhiasan.
“Tolong, buatkan kalung yang sangat indah untuk putriku,” kata Prabu. “Dengan senang hati, Yang
Mulia,” sahut ahli perhiasan. Ia lalu bekerja d sebaik mungkin, dengan sepenuh hati. Ia ingin
menciptakan kalung yang paling indah di dunia, karena ia sangat menyayangi Putri.
 Hari ulang tahun pun tiba. Penduduk negeri berkumpul di alun-alun istana. Ketika Prabu
dan Ratu datang, orang menyambutnya dengan gembira. Sambutan hangat makin terdengar, ketika
Putri yang cantik jelita muncul di hadapan semua orang. Semua orang mengagumi kecantikannya.
Prabu lalu bangkit dari kursinya. Kalung yang indah sudah dipegangnya. “Putriku tercinta,
hari ini aku berikan kalung ini untukmu. Kalung ini pemberian orang-orang dari penjuru negeri.
Mereka sangat mencintaimu. Mereka mempersembahkan hadiah ini, karena mereka gembira
melihatmu tumbuh jadi dewasa. Pakailah kalung ini, Nak,” kata Prabu.
Putri menerima kalung itu. Lalu ia melihat kalung itu sekilas. “Aku tak mau memakainya.
Kalung ini jelek!” seru Putri. Kemudian ia melempar kalung itu. Kalung yang indah pun rusak.
Emas dan permatanya tersebar di lantai.
Itu sungguh mengejutkan. Tak seorang pun menyangka, Putri akan berbuat seperti itu. Tak
seorang pun bicara. Suasana hening. Tiba-tiba terdengar tangisan Ratu. Tangisannya diikuti oleh
semua orang.
Tiba-tiba muncul mata air dari halaman istana. Mula-mula membentuk kolam kecil. Lalu
istana mulai banjir. Istana pun dipenuhi air bagai danau. Lalu danau itu makin besar dan
menenggelamkan istana.
Di hari yang cerah, kita bisa melihat danau itu penuh warna yang indah dan mengagumkan.
Warna itu berasal dari bayangan hutan, tanaman, bunga-bunga, dan langit di sekitar telaga. Namun
orang mengatakan, warna-warna itu berasal dari kalung Putri yang tersebar di dasar telaga.
