The Legend of Tengger
Roro Anteng and Joko Seger were a couple. They
lived in a village in Bromo Mountain. They did not have any child.
They
prayed to God. Then an old man came and said : “You will have 25 children.
However, you must sacrifice your youngest son.” Months later, Roro Anteng gave
birth to a baby. Severel years later, they had 25 children. They named the
youngest Warih Kusuma.
They
led a peaceful life. One night Joko Seger remembered the old man. He talked to
Roro Anteng. They prayed to God at the crater because they could not sacrifice
Warih Kusuma. Suddenly, the sky got dark and they heard thundering voice. The
family ran away from the crater.
Unfortunately,
when the sky got clear, Warih Kusuma lost. They heard Warih Kusuma’s voice from
the crater: “Please release me, but give a sacrifice every year.”
Finally,
Roro Anteng and Joko Seger released Warih Kusuma. The name of Roro Anteng and
Joko Seger was adopted as the name of the place, TENGGER. Since that day the
people of Tengger sacrifice cattles and crops on Kasodo ceremony.
