The Legend of Kesodo Feast

Hundreds years ago, the last king of Majapahit had a young princess from one of his wives. The
princess was named Roro Anteng. Later, Roro Anteng married Joko Seger, who came from Brahman
caste.

Because of unfortunate situation the couple was forced to leave the kingdom. They settled in the
mountain area. They ruled the area and named it Tengger, which was derived from their names,
Roro Anteng and Joko Seger.

After several years of reign, the region flourished in prosperity, but Roro Anteng and Joko Seger
were sad because they did not have a child. They climbed the top of mountain and prayed there
night and day hoping that the God would listen. The prayer was heard and Betoro Bromo promised
them many children. However, they had to promise that they would sacrifice their youngest child in
return.

Roro Anteng gave birth to a child, then another and another. In the end, Roro Anteng and Joko Seger
had 25 children. Soon it was time to sacrifice the youngest child, Kusuma, but the parents could not
do it. They tried to hide him, but an eruption happened and Kusuma fell into the crater. There was
silence before they heard a voice. “I have to be sacrificed so that you will all stay alive. From now on,
you should arrange an annual offering ceremony on the 14th of Kesodo (the twelfth month of
Tengerese calendar)”. It was Kusuma’s voice. Kusuma’s brothers and sisters held the offering
ceremony every year. Instead of human being, they collected fruits, vegetables, rice, and meat to be
offered to the Gods. And this has been done generation after generation until today.

In the olden times there was a king who was so cruel and unjust toward his subjects that he was
always called The Tyrant. So heartless was he that people used to pray night and day that might have
a new king.

One day, he called his people together and said to them, “My dear subjects, the day of my tyranny
are over. Henceforth, you shall live in peace and happiness, for I have decided to try my rule
henceforth justly and well.”

The king kept his words so well that soon he was known throughout the land as The Just King. By and
by of his favorites came to him said, “Your Majesty I beg you to tell me how it was that you had this
change of heart towards our people.”

And the King replied “As I was galloping through my forest one afternoon, I Caught sight of a hound
chasing o fox. The fox escaped into his hole, but not until he had been bitten by the dog so badly
that he would be lame for life. The hound, returning home, met a man who threw a stone at him,
which broke his leg. And the horse, starting to run, fell into a hole and broke his leg, Here I came to
my senses, and resolved to change my rule. ‘for surly,’ I said to my self; he who does evil will sooner
or later be overtaken by evil.”
