Once upon a time, there was a great kingdom
called Prambanan. The people are alive serenity and peace. But, what happened then?
Prambanan Kingdom was attacked and colonized byPengging country. The peace of
the Prambanan Kingdom was disturbed. The soldiers can't facing the attack of the
Pengging troops. Finally, the kingdom of Prambanan was ruled by Pengging, and led by Bandung
Bondowoso. Bandung Bondowoso was a
cruel ruler. “Anyone who disobeys my orders, will be punished heavy!”, said
Bandung Bondowoso to his people. Bandung Bondowoso is a powerful person and has
an army of genies. Not long in power, Bandung Bondowoso likes to observe the
movements of Roro Jonggrang, the beautiful daughter of the King of Prambanan. "That
princess is beautiful. I want her to be my consort,” thought Bandung Bondowoso.
The next day, Bondowoso approached Roro Jonggrang. "You're beautiful one,
will you be my consort?”, asked Bandung Bondowoso to Roro Jonggrang. Roro
Jonggrang gasped, heard Bondowoso's question. “This man is so presumptuous. He
doesn’t know me right away, they want me to be their consort," said Roro
Jongrang in a heart. "What should I do?". Roro Jonggrang became
confused. His mind is spinning-turn. If he refuses, then Bandung Bondowoso will
be furious and endanger his family and the people of Prambanan. It's not even
possible to say yes, because Roro Jonggrang really doesn’t like Bandung
Bondowoso.
After the equipment is ready. Bandung
Bondowoso standing in front of the stone altar. His arms were spread wide.
“Army of jinns, help me!” he shouted in a booming voice. Before long, the sky
turned dark. The wind howled. A moment later, the genie troops had surrounded
Bandung Bondowoso. "What should we do sir?" asked the genie leader.
"Help me
build a thousand temples,” asked Bandung
Bondowoso. The jinn immediately moved to and fro, carrying out their respective
duties. In a short time the building of the temple has been composed of almost
a thousand pieces.
In the morning, Bandung Bondowoso took Roro
Jonggrang to the temple. "The temple you asked for is already
standing!". Roro Jonggrang immediately counted the number of temples. It
turns out that the number is only 999 pieces!. "The number is one
less!" exclaimed Roro Jonggrang. "It means that the master has failed
to meet the conditions I put forward". Bandung Bondowoso was surprised to
learn of this deficiency. He became very angry. "Impossible...", said
Bondowoso, staring intently at Roro Jonggrang. "Then you just complete
it!" he said while pointing his finger at Roro Jonggrang. Wonderful! Roro
Jonggrang immediately turned into a stone statue. Until now these temples still
exist and are located in the Prambanan area, Central Java and are called Roro
Jonggrang Temple.
