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 LoroJonggrang. Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. “You’re very beautiful. Would you be my queen?” asked Bandung Bondowoso. LoroJonggrang 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 LoroJonggrang. “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, LoroJonggrang 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 LoroJonggrang. “Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what LoroJonggrang 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 LoroJonggrang had just tricked him. "You cannot fool me, LoroJonggrang. 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 LoroJonggrang and said some mantras. Magically, LoroJonggrang’s body turned into stone. Until now, the temple is still standing in Prambanan area, Central Java. And the temple is called LoroJonggrang temple.***
