SANGKURIANG

Sangkuriang was a boy who liked to hunt and when hunting, he was always
accompanied by his dog named Tumang. Despite a Dog, Tumang actually an
incarnation of the god and the father of Sangkuriang.

One day, he got mad at Tumang for not pursuing

the animals. Because of so angry, he then expelled
Tumang so the dog went into the woods.
He then returned to the palace and told the incident
to her mother. Dayang Sumbi was so angry and hit his
head. Sangkuriang then disappointed and he decided to
wander.

After hitting Sangkuriang, Dayang Sumbi felt so

sorry and she always prayed and meditated to get
forgiveness from God. One day, God gave a gift because
she was so diligent in praying. The prize is a timeless beauty that would make Sumbi
Dayang becoming young forever.

After wandering for a dozen years, Sangkuriang returned home. When he

reached the kingdom, all had changed. He did not know what was happening. One day,
he met a girl who was so beautiful. The girl was actually a Sumbi Dayang, his own
mother.

Sangkurian fell in love with the girl and then proposed her. Because of the
handsomeness that was owned by Sangkuriang, then Dayang Sumbi also fell in love.
One day, Sangkuriang want to hunt and he asked Dayang Sumbi to fix the headband.
However, Dayang Sumbi surprised that her future husband had a head injury. Dayang
Sumbi then realized that was the same injury as her son who wandered away. She then
noticed Sangkuriang face, and she was more surprised to realize that her husband was
Sangkuriang, her own son.

After those happenings, she immediately looked for ways to thwart the plan of
making a proposal. She then proposed two requirements to Sangkuriang. First,
Sangkuriang should stem the Citarum River. Secondly, she asked Sangkuriang to make
a big canoe to cross the river. Both of those conditions should be finished before
sunrise.
At night, Sangkuriang asked for help to spirit creatures to complete all the work. Dayang
Sumbi secretly peeked at the job. Once the work was almost complete, Dayang Sumbi
ordered his forces to hold a very long red carpet to the east of the city.

The carpet made the light became red and Sangkuriang thought that the sun had
risen. He stopped his work and was very upset because all could not meet the
requirements posed by Dayang Sumbi. Using his strength, Sangkuriang broke the dam
and the city became flooding. His big canoe then crashed upside down and changed
into a mountain named, Tangkuban Perahu.
