 THE LEGEND OF PRAMBANAN TEMPLE
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. The people lived peacefully.
However, soon their happy lives were disturbed by Pengging Kingdom. The king, Bandung
Bondowoso, 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 Bondowoso. Pengging could win the war because Bandung
Bondongwoso had a supernatural power.
His soldiers were not only humans but also genies. Those creatures always obeyed Bandung
Bondowoso. They always did whatever Bandung Bondowoso asked them to do. The king of
Prambanan had a beautiful daughter. Her name was Loro Jonggrang (Rara Jonggrang).
Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her 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 Bondowoso because he made the people of Prambanan suffered.
"What? Impossible! You just gave me an excuse for not marrying me!" said Bandung
Bondowoso. But he did not give up. He asked the genies to help him.
Then all those genies worked hard to build the 1.000 temples. Meanwhile, Loro Jonggrang heard
from the lady-inwaiting that the building of 1.000 temples was almost finished.
She was so scared; she did not want to marry Bandung Bondowoso. And then she had a great
idea. She asked all the ladies-inwaiting 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
to 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 mortar. 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 noise from pounding the mortar was like the start of a new day.
Bandung Bondowoso 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 Bondowoso 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.
Dahulu kala, ada sebuah kerajaan bernama Prambanan. Rakyatnya hidup dengan damai. Namun,
kehidupan bahagia mereka segera diganggu oleh Kerajaan Pengging. Rajanya, Bandung
Bondowoso, ingin menduduki Prambanan. Ia adalah raja yang kejam.
Perang antara Prambanan dan Pengging tidak dapat dihindari. Prambanan kalah dalam perang
dan dipimpin oleh raja baru, Bandung Bondowoso. Pengging dapat memenangkan perang karena
Bandung Bondowoso memiliki kekuatan supranatural.
Prajuritnya tidak hanya manusia tetapi juga jin. Makhluk-makhluk itu selalu patuh pada Bandung
Bondowoso. Mereka selalu melakukan apa pun yang diminta Bandung Bondowoso. Raja
Prambanan memiliki seorang putri yang cantik. Namanya Loro Jonggrang (Rara Jonggrang).
Bandung Bondowoso jatuh cinta padanya dan ingin menikahinya.
"Jika kamu ingin menikah denganku, kamu harus membangun seribu candi hanya dalam satu
malam," kata Loro Jonggrang.
Ia membenci Bandung Bondowoso karena ia membuat rakyat Prambanan menderita.
"Apa? Tidak mungkin! Kau hanya memberiku alasan untuk tidak menikahiku!" kata Bandung
Bondowoso. Namun, ia tidak menyerah. Ia meminta bantuan para jin.
Kemudian semua jin itu bekerja keras untuk membangun 1.000 candi. Sementara itu, Loro
Jonggrang mendengar dari dayangnya bahwa pembangunan 1.000 candi hampir selesai.
Ia begitu takut; ia tidak ingin menikahi Bandung Bondowoso. Dan kemudian ia mendapat ide
bagus. Ia meminta semua dayang untuk membantunya.
"Tolong siapkan banyak jerami dan adukan semen. Ayo! Cepat!" kata Loro Jonggrang.
Semua dayang itu bingung. Mereka tidak tahu mengapa Loro Jonggrang meminta mereka untuk
menyiapkan banyak jerami dan adukan semen di tengah malam. "Dengar, semua jin itu sedang
membangun candi, kan? Kita harus menghentikan mereka dengan membakar jerami dan
membuat suara dengan memukul lesung. Para jin akan mengira matahari akan terbit dan mereka
akan lari. Jin takut sinar matahari." Berhasil! Semua jin itu mengira matahari terbit. Mereka tidak
tahu bahwa cahaya itu berasal dari api yang membakar jerami. Dan suara dari memukul lesung
itu seperti dimulainya hari baru. Bandung Bondowoso marah. Dia tahu Loro Jonggrang baru saja
menipunya. "Kamu tidak bisa menipuku, Loro Jonggrang. Aku sudah punya 999 candi. Aku
hanya butuh satu candi lagi. Sekarang, aku akan menjadikanmu candi yang keseribu." Dengan
kesaktiannya, Bandung Bondowoso membuat Loro Jonggrang menjadi candi. Sampai sekarang,
candi itu masih berdiri di daerah Prambanan, Jawa Tengah. Dan candi itu diberi nama Candi
Loro Jonggrang.
