The Legend of Tangkuban Perahu

 

In ancient times, there lived a beautiful woman named Dayang Sumbi in West Java. She was a princess who loved weaving. One day, while weaving, she dropped her spindle. Frustrated, she vowed to marry anyone who retrieved it for her. A dog named Tumang brought it back, and true to her word, Dayang Sumbi married Tumang, who was actually a cursed god in disguise. They had a son named Sangkuriang.

 

Sangkuriang grew up to be a brave and strong young man, unaware of his father's true identity. One day, while hunting, Sangkuriang accidentally killed Tumang, thinking he was a wild boar. When Dayang Sumbi discovered this, she was heartbroken and revealed the truth to Sangkuriang. In a fit of anger, she hit him on the head with a rice paddle, leaving a scar, and banished him from the village.

 

Years later, Sangkuriang returned as a handsome young man. He met Dayang Sumbi, who remained youthful due to her divine powers, and fell in love with her, not recognizing her as his mother. Dayang Sumbi realized his identity and set an impossible condition for their marriage to prevent it: Sangkuriang had to build a lake and a boat in one night.

 

With the help of supernatural beings, Sangkuriang almost succeeded. However, Dayang Sumbi tricked him by creating the illusion of dawn, causing the roosters to crow early. Thinking he had failed, Sangkuriang kicked the boat in frustration, turning it upside down. This boat became Mount Tangkuban Perahu, which means "upturned boat" in Sundanese.
