haii steemian all on this occasion i will tell a story that happened in indonesia about the origin of prambanan temple.
In ancient times there was a kingdom in Pengging. the king had a son named Joko Bandung. Joko bandung is a mighty young man, like his father, he also has a variety of high science of supernatural powers. even supposedly supernatural powers higher than his father because Joko bandung like to hunt to the ascetic magic.
In Prambanan there is a kingdom, its king named Raja Boko. the king had a beautiful-looking daughter named Roro Jongrang. King Boko is big and big, so most people think of him as a giant breed.
Between the Kingdom of Pengging and the Kingdom of Prambanan came war. At first King pengging lost. Many Pengging soldiers are dead on the battlefield.
Heard the defeat of his father's troops then Joko Bandung determined to follow his father's army. on the way, in the middle of the forest, Joko Bandung meets and fights with a giant named Bandawasa. Towards the end of this highly knowledgeable period. Bandawasa was infiltrated into the spirit of Joko Bandung and asked his name combined with the young man so that the son of Raja Pengging is named Joko Bandung Bandawasa.
Joko bandung advanced to the battlefield, for days of fighting, but in the end the young man can defeat and kill King Boko.
When Joko Bandung enters the palace of kaputren he sees Roro Jonggrang who is beautiful, Joko Bandung immediately fell in love and wanted to take it, but Roro Jonggrang tried to avoid keingginannya because Roro Jonggrang know that his father's killer is Joko Bandung.
But to reject it, of course Roro Jonggrang did not dare, then Roro Jonggrang filed a condition, he wanted to diperosen by Joko Bandung as long as the youth was willing to make a thousand temples and two very deep wells in one night.
According to Roro Jonggrang assumption Joko Bandung certainly not be able to meet the request. Unexpected Joko Bandung menyanggupinya. Joko Bandung Bandawasa the magic is asking for help spirits. They work hard after sunset, and one by one the temple requested by Roro Jonggrang approaches the settlement.
Seeing the incident, Roro Jonggrang wonder because the temple building so much is almost finished. At midnight when the spirits continued to complete the building of a temple that lived, Roro Jonggrang awakened Prambanan village girls to pound rice while pounding the pestle on the mortar so that it sounded noisy. The roosters crowed together. Hearing those voices, the spirits immediately stopped working. He thought it was morning and the sun was almost rising.
Roro Jonggrang request can not be fulfilled because there is still less one building of the temple. angry Joko Bandung, because the act and trickery of Roro Jonggrang.
That's when Bandung approached Jonggrang and said, Roro Jonggrang..you're just looking for an excuse, if you do not want to try to beat me, you're stubborn like a rock! & Quot.
Instantly Roro Jonggrang turned into a large stone statue. Similarly, the virgin living in Prambanan village are cursed by Bandung Bandawasa, not married before they reach old age.
The temple made by the spirits although the number has not reached a thousand is called the sewu temple adjacent to Roro Jonggrang temple. So Prambanan temple is also called Roro Jonggrang temple.
