    The Story of Sangkuriang and Tangkuban

    Perahu Mountain

    Orientation

    In a place, there lived a beautiful princess named Dayang Sumbi. One day, while she was
    weaving, she lost one of the tools to weave. She was tired of searching and then she swore that
    those who found it. She would be married if a man and if a woman, she would be made an older
    sister.

    Then… it turns out the one who found the princess’s weaver is a dog. So inevitably the princess
    must marry a dog named Tumang. Finally, they were blessed with boy and named Sangkuriang.
    The child does not know about his biological father.

    Complication

    After sangkuriang already had enough age, Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang to hunt deer
    accompanied by Tumang, who was none other than his father. It turns out that when in the
    middle of the forest, Sangkuriang accidentally shot Tumang. Do not want to think long finally
    sangkuriang clean the tumang and bring him home as a result of his game.

    Dayang Sumbi was very happy because her son got a game and he thought it was a deer. One
    day Dayang Sumbi asked where the Tumang was. With a sad face, Sangkuriang answered that
    what was eaten was the Tumang. Suddenly, Dayang Sumbi cried and shouted at Sangkuriang to
    the point that she told Sangkuriang to leave home.

    After a few years later, Dayang Sumbi left her son, she met a handsome man. Dayang Sumbi
    liked it and vice versa with Sangkuriang. However, when they had known each other and loved
    each other, Dayang Sumbi learned that the man was none other than his biological child whom
    he had driven out of the house.

    Dayang Sumbi was very confused, she did not know how to tell the man that she was his son
    (Sangkuriang). With a sad and happy heart she dares to say that “You are my son (Sangkuriang),
    I cannot possibly marry you”. With a disappointed heart Sangkuriang answered that he was not
    her child. Then, Dayang Sumbi thought how to prevent Sangkuriang from marrying her.

    Dayang Sumbi loudly said “I ask you to stem the Citarum river to be made a lake and in that lake
    there must be a big boat, and I will give you time overnight to make it”. Without a doubt
    Sangkuriang accepted her request, because he thought he would easily make it with the help of
    the spirits he had.

     
    Resolution

    That night, Dayang Sumbi prayed and got a hint. She spread boeh rarang (woven white cloth).
    He also insisted that the rooster crow when it was still night. The spirits were very frightened
    when they learned that dawn had arrived. They ran and disappeared in all directions. They
    abandoned their work of making unfinished lakes and boats.

    Sangkuriang is very angry. He felt Dayang Sumbi had cheated him. He was very sure if the real
    dawn had not arrived. He felt that there was still time available for him to finish work. With high
    anger, Sangkuriang then broke down the dam in Sanghyang Tikoro. Citarum flow stoppers then
    thrown to the east which later transformed into Mount Manglayang.

    The water that originally filled the lake then receded. It felt like the anger had not subsided.
    Sangkuriang then kicked the big boat that he had made to be far away and fell face down. The
    large boat transformed into a mountain which was then called Tangkuban Perahu mountain.

    Sangkuriang’s anger has not subsided yet. He knew, all of that was actually a ploy from Dayang
    Sumbi to frustrate the marriage with him. With anger that continued to overflow, the handpipers
    were chased. The scared lady maid kept running to avoid until she finally disappeared on a hill.
    The hill was then transformed into a mountain Princess. While Sangkuriang who did not find
    Sunbi’s Dayang finally disappeared into the supernatural.
