The Legend of Telaga Warna

Long time ago there was a kingdom in west java named Kutatanggeuhan. Kutatanggeuhan was a prosperous and peaceful kingdom because the King was very wise. He was Prabu Suwartalaya and his wife, Queen Purbamanah. Everyone in Kutatanggeuhan lived peacefully, but sadly, the King and the Queen didn’t have child yet. The royal advisor said that they should adopted a child. But, they rejected it. They always prayed to God and finally the Queen was pregnant. The people were very happy and gave many presents to kingdom.

9 months later, the baby was born. Her name was Gilang Rukmini.  The King and the Queen were very happy.  They gave everything that she wanted. And the princess became really spoiled. in her 17th birthday, the king went to jewelry craftsman and ask him to made a beautiful necklace from gold for the princess. The craftsman, with pleasure, made the necklace for her. After the necklace had finished, the king gave it to the princess. The princess glance at it and suddenly throw the necklace . the gold and the diamond was spread on the floor. She said that the necklace was so ugly and she didn’t like it at all. The queen was very upset and cried. She didn’t expect that the princess would do that. The atmosphere was very quiet. Then people in Kutatanggeuhan started to cry. Suddenly water came out from the ground. No one could stop it. The kingdom started to sink and finally it turned into a lake.

Nowadays, in a sunny day, we can see the lake is full with beautiful colors. It comes from the shade of forest, plants, flowers around the lake. But, the people said, it comes from the necklace that Gilang Rukmini threw.
