Inside the northern chamber
Shiva temple in Prambanan temple in Central Java, Indonesia, there is a stone
statue of a beautiful woman. She stands
on a bull. She wears a crown and
jewelry. Her body is slim. Who is she?
There is no doubt that she is Durga Mahisasuramardini, a Hindu
goddess. But the Javanese people have
their own story about her. Here is the story.
A long long time ago in
central Java lived a wise king. His name
was Prabu Boko. He had a beautiful
daughter whose name was Roro Jonggrang.
They lived in a palace on top of a hill.
At present we can visit the ruins of the palace that is located about
two miles south of Prambanan temple. The
palace is called kraton Boko. His country was so prosperous that another king
was jealous.
There was a neighboring
kingdom under king Bandung Bondowoso.
One day king Bandung attacked Prabu Boko. In a fierce fight King Boko was killed and
his kingdom was conquered. The young
Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with Roro Jonggrang when he saw her beauty. He wanted to marry her so he proposed
her. But Roro Jonggrang definitely did
not want to marry someone who had murdered her father. So she gave a difficult condition.
She told Bandung that she
would marry him if he could build one thousand temples in one night. Bandung was surprised but he was optimistic
he could meet the condition. He was a
powerful king and he had many friends among the genie and spirits. So he asked them for help. With the help of those invisible beings
Bandung built the temples.
Meanwhile Roro Jonggrang and
her people kept an eye on Bandung. When
it was almost dawn Bandung and the genie had built nine hundred ninety nine
temples. Roro Jonggrang was very
worried. If Bandung could meet her
condition, she had to marry him. Then
she had a bright idea. She ordered her
people to make noise and lights. Women
were ordered to cook and make noise by hitting kitchen utensils. Men were also ordered to make noise around
the temples. Then the genie thought that
daylight had come. They were afraid of
the sunlight so they left immediately.
Without their help Bandung was unable to finish the temple.
Bandung was very angry. He knew that it was a dirty trick from Roro
Jonggrang. Then he cursed Roro Jonggrang
into a statue. The statue of Roro
Jonggrang is now inside the northern chamber of the main temple which was
dedicated to Shiva in Prambanan temple.
