Nyi Roro Kidul
|
Orientation
|
No one denies
that the goddess of the south sea is the queen Nyi Roro Kidul who lives
exactly in Parang tritis in Central Java.
She has green hair which fills of shells and seaweed. All Javanese adore and
respect her. Hey never wear anything in green colour whenever entering the
sea for fear of offending Nyi Roro Kidul.
|
Complication
|
Before
turning into a nymph, Nyi Roro Kidul was a young princess named Dewi Kandita,
the daughter of King Munangwangi and his first wife. Dewi rembulan was beyond
doubt. They were known for their beauty, kindness and friendliness, and
people loved them. However, the misery of their lives began when Dewi
Muiiara, another wife of King Mundangwangi, known locally as selir, became envy and grew ambitions
to become the first wife. She thought that by being the first wife she would
deserve full affection and attention from the king.
Dewi Mutiara’s
dream came true when one day she bore a son that the king had long been
yearning for. Through the assistance of a witch, Dewi Mutiara made the king’s
wives Dewi Rembulan and Dewi Kandita suffer from ‘strange’ disease with their
bodies covered with scabies that created an odour of fish. The disease led
them to be sent into exiled in the forest where later Dewi Rembulan died.
After a long, hard and helpless journey, the scabies covered Dewi kandita
eventually arrived at a beach where she met a young, handsome man who
promised to cure her illness.
|
Resolution
|
At the request
of the young man, Dewi kandita chased after him as he ran along the beach.
When she reached the water, the man disappears and, to her surprise, all the
scabies had disappeared but, strangely, she could not move her legs. Half her
body from the waist down, had turned into the body of a fish. Then she became
a sea-nymph and locals believe that Nyi Roro Kidul is the manifestation of
Dewi Kandita.

Keong Mas (The Golden Snail)
Prince Raden
Putra and Dewi Limaran were husband and wife. They lived in a palace. Prince
Raden Putra's father was the king of the kingdom.
One day, Dewi
Limaran was walking around in the palace garden. Suddenly she saw a snail. It
was ugly and disgusting.
"Yuck!"
said Dewi Limaran and then she threw it away into a river.
She did not know
that the snail was actually an old and powerful witch. She could transform
herself into anything.
The witch was
angry to Dewi Limaran. The witch put a spell on her and changed her into a
golden snail. The witch then threw it away into the river.
The golden snail
was drifting away in the river and got caught into a net. An old woman was fishing
and used her net to catch some fish. She was surprised to see a golden snail in
her net. She took it and brought it home.
When the old
woman woke up in the morning, she was surprised that the house was in good
condition. The floor was mopped. And she also had food on the table.
She was thinking
very hard. "Who did this to me? The person is very kind."
It happened
again and again every morning. The old woman was very curious. One night she
decided to stay up late. She was peeping from her room to know who cooked for
her.
Then, she could
not believe what she saw. The golden snail she caught in the river turned into
a beautiful woman. The old woman approached her.
"Who are
you, young girl?"
"I am Dewi
Limaran, Ma'am. A witch cursed me. I can change back as a human only at
night," explained Dewi Limaran. "The spell can be broken if I hear
the melody from the holly gamelan," continued Dewi Limaran. The old woman
then rushed to the palace. She talked to Prince Raden Putra about her wife.
Prince Raden Putra was so happy. He had been looking for his wife everywhere.
He then prayed
and meditated. He asked the Gods to give him the holy gamelan. He wanted to
break the witch's spell.
After several
days praying and meditating, finally Gods granted his wish. He immediately
brought the holly gamelan to the old woman's house. He played it beautifully.
And then amazingly the golden snail turned into the beautiful Dewi Limaran.
The couple was
so happy that they could be together again. They also thanked the old woman for
her kindness. As a return, they asked her to stay in the palace.

Loro Jonggrang
Once
upon a time, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. The people lived peacefully.
However, their happy lives was disturbed by Pengging Kingdom.
The king, Bandung Bandawasa, 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 Bandawasa.
Pengging
could win the war because Bandung Bandawasa had supernatural power. His
soldiers were not only human being but also genies. Those creatures always
obeyed Bandung Bandawasa. They always did whatever Bandung Bandawasa asked them
to do.
The
king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter. Her name was Loro Jonggrang. Bandung Bandawasa fell in love 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
Bandawasa because he made the people of Prambanan suffered.
"What?
Impossible! You just gave me an excuse for not marrying me!" said Bandung
Bandawasa. But he didn't give up. He asked the genies to help him.
Then
all those genies worked hard to build the 1000 temples. Meanwhile, Loro
Jonggrang heard from the lady-in-waiting that the building of 1000 temples was
almost finished. She was so scared; she did not want to marry Bandung
Bandawasa. And then she had a great idea. She asked all the ladies-in-waiting
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 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 mortars. 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 noises from pounding the mortars
like the start of a new day.
Bandung
Bandawasa 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 Bandawasa 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.
