LEGEND OF LAKE BATUR

The Legend of Lake Batur

Long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giant-like creature named Kebo Iwo. The people of Bali used to say that Kebo Iwo was everything, a destroyer as well as a creator. He was satisfied with the meal, but this man for the Balinese people gave enough food for thousand men.

Difficulties arose when the first time when the barns were almost empty and the new harvest was still a long way off. This made Kebo Iwo wild with great anger. In his hunger, he destroyed all the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn to rage, so they came together to plan steps to oppose this powerful giant by using his stupidity.

They asked Kebo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples he had destroyed. After they fed Kebo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole. One day he had eaten too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village gave a sign, and the villagers began to throw the lime stones they had collected before into the hole. The lime stones made the water inside the hole boiling. Kebo Iwo was buried alive. Then the water in the well rose higher and higher until at last it over flood and formed Lake Batur. The mound of earth dug from the well by Kebo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.
