Kisah Roro Jonggrang Dan Bandung Bondowoso | Cerita rakyat Jawa Tengah | Kisah Nusantara - Summary

Summary

In the kingdom of Pengging, King Damar Maya and his son, Joko Bandung, discuss the latter's intention to marry only when Prambanan is under their control. Joko Bandung sets out to the battlefield, where he meets a giant named Bondowoso in a haunted forest. Bondowoso possesses supernatural powers and offers to grant Joko Bandung his strength in exchange for his soul and name. Joko Bandung, now known as Bandung Bondowoso, defeats King Boko of Prambanan and meets his daughter, Dewi Roro Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso falls in love with Dewi Roro Jonggrang and proposes to her, but she sets a condition: he must build 1000 temples and 2 wells in one night. Bandung Bondowoso accepts the challenge with the help of Bondowoso's giant spirit and an army of genies. However, Dewi Roro Jonggrang sabotages the effort by ordering her ladies-in-waiting to make noise and the youths to burn wood and haystacks, causing the genies to flee and the sun to rise before the task is completed. In anger, Bandung Bondowoso curses Dewi Roro Jonggrang, turning her into stone, which becomes one of the 1000 temples.
