Roro Jonggrang

Once upon a time, there were two Hindu Kingdoms, Pengging and Kraton Boko. Pengging
was led by king named Prabu Damar Moyo. To had son, named Bandung Bondowoso. Meanwhile,
Kraton Boko was led by a cruel and easily angry king, named Prabu Boko. However, Prabu
Boko had a very beautiful daughter named Roro Jonggrang.

Prabu Boko said : “Patih Gupolo! I want to revolt and have control over Pengging
Kingdom! I want to be strongest king in this land! HUAHAHAHAHA!”

“All Right, Your Majesty. I will execute your command.”

Then, the war between Pengging Kingdom and Kraton Boko happened! The result, Prabu
Boko died in that war. Patih Gupolo ran away from the battle and reported to Roro Jonggrang
that her father was killed by Pengging Knight, named Bandung Bondowoso. Roro Jonggrang
was very sad. But, suddenly Bandung Bondowoso and his soldiers came to Kraton Boko.

“Owh, beautiful lady, who are you?”

“I’m Roro Jonggrang, the daughter of Prabu Boko. Is that you who have killed my father?”

“I’m so sorry, Roro Jonggrang. I didn’t mean to. Roro Jonggrang, would you be my queen,
please?”

“If you want to marry me, you must build a thousand temples for me just in one night. Could
you?”

Bandung Bondowoso exited the challenge, than he called his genies at night…..

“Come to me, my genies army…… come to me…… come to me, I need your help… come….”

“What can we do for you, my lord?”

“Please, build me a thousand temples just in one night”

“All right to, my lord. We’ll do it right away!”

All the genies army worked in an unbelievable speed! Roro Jonggrang very worried. But
then, she had a strategy.

“My serants, please help me!....please “

The strategy good makes the dark night seemed to be bright and the sun was going rise in
the east”

“Oh look! The sun is coming, we have to go….”

 Bandung Bondowoso was ver upset! Because the temples had not finish. But then he
know that Roro Jonggrang has tricked him.

“Roro Jonggrang! I have built 999 temples! I just need one more temple!”

“Now the thousand temple will be you!” and Roro Jonggrang turned into a statue.

Ladies and Gentlemen now, we can see the statue of Roro Jonggrang in Prambanan temples.
