Nyi Roro Kidul or south coast queen is a mystical figure who is described as a woman with a beautiful face. He is believed to be a ruler of the southern coast.
This mystical figure does not stop in the mystical world, but into popular culture. Various films had raised figures Nyi Roro Kidul. There is even an empty hotel with a number 308. With various offerings and paintings, many believe Nyi Roro Kidul occupies the room. I do not know just as a strategy of the hotel or indeed it is a reality.
Nyi Roro Kidul is not a figure who suddenly appeared to the surface and adored many people. It actually has a historical background. Reported historia.id (09/04/2015), who and when Nyi Roro Kidul born has various versions.
In A Princess from Sunda: Some Aspects of Nyai Roro Kidul, Robert Wessing, the owner of the southern sea is the daughter of Galuh Kingdom. Another version mentions if Nyi Roro Kidul comes from the kingdom of Pajajaran. Not just a kingdom in West Java, there is also a version that states if Nyi Roro Kidul from the kingdom of Kahuripan and Jayabaya.

Now, let's focus on the Nyi Roro Kidul version coming from the Galuh Kingdom. It was reported that when Queen Ratu Ayu of the Galuh Kingdom gave birth to a 'prodigy daughter' later known as Nyi Roro Kidul.
This girl is not the same as any other normal baby in the world, from birth she is able to speak. Not only speaking, he later claimed that he was a supernatural ruler (a kind of spirits) in the land of Java. He also chose the South Coast to live in and commanded.
After Nyi Roro Kidul was born, strangeness not only happened to him. Suddenly appears King Shindula, who is the grandfather of Nyi Roro Kidul. The grandfather said if Nyi Roro Kidul during his life will not be married and holy throughout life. If married and have a life partner, the grandchild will only be married by the kings of Islam on the island of Java.

The grandfather's claim was correct. Narrated an Islamic Mataram king, Panembahan Senapati, came to the South Coast to meditate begging for power against the Pajang Sultan in Prambanan. Senapati's prayer turned out to make the southern sea vibrate greatly to reach the hidden kingdom of Nyi Roro Kidul.
Nyi Roro Kidul awakened and saw there was a gallant man was meditating. He then fell in love with Senapati. The two then make three days and three nights in the Nyai palace. After lovemaking, the ruler of the South Sea at once promised to grant his prayers. The prayer turns out to be answered, Senapati along with the spirit sent by Nyi Roro Kidul win in Prambanan.
Senapati's grandson, Sultan Agung who also became king, then made a special dance to honor the love story of his grandfather with Nyi Roro Kidul. The dance is called Bedhaya as well as a dance offerings to the new kings.
