Princess Mandalika

Roro Jonggrang
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of Prambanan lived
peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Pengging
kingdom. Prambanan then was ruled by Bandung Bondowoso of Pengging kingdom. He was a
mean king. He also had great supernatural power. His soldiers were not only humans, but also
genies.
The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Loro Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso
fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. “You’re very beautiful. Would you be my queen?”
asked Bandung Bondowoso. Loro Jonggrang was shocked. She didn’t like Bandung
Bondowoso because he was a mean person. She wanted to refuse, but she afraid that Bandung
Bondowoso would be angry and endangered the people of Prambanan. Then, she came up with
a plan. “If you want to marry me, you have to build a thousand temples for me in just one night,”
said Loro Jonggrang. “What? That’s impossible!” said Bandung Bondowoso. But he did not give
up. He consulted with his advisor. “Your Majesty can asked the genies to help built the temples,”
said the advisor.
So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded them to help
him built a thousand temples. The genies worked in unbelievable speed. Meanwhile, Loro
Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a thousand temples was almost finished.
She was so worried. But again, she came up with a great idea. She asked all of her servants to
help her. “Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Please hurry up!” said Loro Jonggrang.
“Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what
Loro Jonggrang ordered them; burning straw and pounding the mortar, making the genies think
that the sun is going to rise.
“It’s already dawn. We have to go,” said the leader of the genies to Bandung Bondowoso. All the
genies immediately stopped their work and ran for cover from the sun, which they afraid of.
They didn’t know that the light was from the fire that burning the straw, not from the sun.
Bandung Bondowoso can’t stop the genies from leaving. He was angry. He knew Loro
Jonggrang had just tricked him. “You cannot fool me, Loro Jonggrang. I already have 999
temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you the one-thousandth temple.” He
pointed his finger to Loro Jonggrang and said some mantras. Magically, Loro Jonggrang’s body
turned into stone. Until now, the temple is still standing in Prambanan area, Central Java. And
the temple is called Loro Jonggrang temple.

Pada zaman dahulu, ada kerajaan bernama Prambanan. Semua orang Prambanan hidup
dengan damai. Namun kemudian, kerajaan Prambanan diserang dan diduduki oleh kerajaan
Pengging. Prambanan kemudian diperintah oleh Bandung Bondowoso dari kerajaan Pengging.
Dia adalah raja yang kejam. Dia juga memiliki kekuatan gaib yang besar. Prajuritnya bukan
hanya manusia, tetapi juga jin.
Raja Prambanan memiliki seorang putri cantik bernama Loro Jonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso
jatuh cinta padanya dan ingin menikahinya. "Anda sangat indah. Apakah Anda ingin menjadi
ratu saya? " tanya Bandung Bondowoso. Loro Jonggrang terkejut. Dia tidak menyukai Bandung
Bondowoso karena dia orang yang jahat. Dia ingin menolak, tetapi dia takut Bandung
Bondowoso akan marah dan membahayakan masyarakat Prambanan. Kemudian, dia membuat
rencana. "Jika Anda ingin menikah dengan saya, Anda harus membangun seribu kuil untuk
saya hanya dalam satu malam," kata Loro Jonggrang. "Apa? Itu tidak mungkin!" kata Bandung
Bondowoso. Tapi dia tidak menyerah. Dia berkonsultasi dengan penasihatnya. "Yang Mulia bisa
meminta para jin untuk membantu membangun kuil," kata penasihat itu.
Jadi, Bandung Bondowoso memanggil seluruh prajurit jinnya dan memerintahkan mereka untuk
membantunya membangun seribu candi. Para jin bekerja dengan kecepatan luar biasa.
Sementara itu, Loro Jonggrang mendengar dari pelayannya bahwa pembangunan seribu kuil
hampir selesai. Dia sangat khawatir. Tetapi sekali lagi, dia datang dengan ide bagus. Dia
meminta semua pelayannya untuk membantunya. “Tolong siapkan banyak jerami dan lesung
(gilingan padi tradisional). Tolong cepat sedikit!" kata Loro Jonggrang. "Bakar jerami dan buat
suara berdebar-debar, cepat." Semua pelayan melakukan apa yang diperintahkan Loro
Jonggrang; membakar jerami dan memukul-mukul lesung, membuat para jin berpikir bahwa
matahari akan terbit.
"Ini sudah subuh. Kita harus pergi, ”kata pemimpin jin ke Bandung Bondowoso. Semua jin
segera menghentikan pekerjaan mereka dan berlari mencari perlindungan dari matahari, yang
mereka takuti. Mereka tidak tahu bahwa cahaya itu berasal dari api yang membakar jerami,
bukan dari matahari.
Bandung Bondowoso tidak bisa menghentikan jin untuk pergi. Dia marah. Dia tahu Loro
Jonggrang baru saja menipunya. “Kamu tidak bisa membodohiku, Loro Jonggrang. Saya sudah
memiliki 999 kuil. Saya hanya perlu satu candi lagi. Sekarang, aku akan menjadikanmu kuil
seperseribu. ” Dia mengarahkan jarinya ke Loro Jonggrang dan mengucapkan beberapa
mantra. Ajaibnya, tubuh Loro Jonggrang berubah menjadi batu. Hingga saat ini, candi tersebut
masih berdiri di daerah Prambanan, Jawa Tengah. Dan candi itu disebut candi Loro Jonggrang.
