SANGKURIANG
A very long time ago in West Java, there lived a king, named Raden Sungging Pebangkara. He was a good ruler. He liked hunting in the forest very much. When the king was hunting again
in the forest, he saw the girl and was attracted by her beauty. He took her to his palace, then he called her Dayang Sumbi and treated her as his own daughter. Time passed and Dayang Sumbi
grew up into a beautiful girl. She was fond of weaving.
One morning as she was weaving, her weaving spool flew out of the window she mumbled, “Whoever is willing to help me pick up the spool, I’ll treat her as my sister if she is a girl. If he is a man, I’ll treat him as my husband”. These words were heard by a dog, called Tumang, actually a cursed god too. She became pregnant and a short time afterwards she gave birth to a healthy strong son whom she called Sangkuriang.. He didn’t realize that Tumang was actually his father. One day, when the dog didn't obey him to chase the pig, Sangkuriang was
very angry and killed the dog and cut up his fesh into pieces and took it home to his mother.Then Dayang Sumbi sent him away. Sangkuriang left and wandered through the woods. Sangkuriang came back to the village. He approached the girl and was charmed by her beauty. He was unaware that she was his own mother.. They made plans for their wedding day, but one day she discovered the scar on his forehead. She knew that he was her own son who had come back to his village. She made an effort to make him understand that marriage between them was impossible, but Sangkuriang refused to accept it. She had an idea and said to him “All right, you shall marry me if only you can dam up the Citarum river and build a big vessel all in one night”. Sangkuriang agreed and started to work . To prevent the marriage, before Sangkuriang finished his work, she stretched the red veil which covered her head over the eastern side of theplain. Through her magic powers, the red light spread over the landscape, giving the impression that the sun was rising and that the time was up. Angrily, Sangkuriang kicked the vessel which was almost finished, upside down. Some times later the vessel became
the mountain of Tangkuban Perahu onthe northern side of Bandung
