Parangtritis Beach

The story behind parangtritis beach are The Legend of Nyai Roro
Kidul Nyai Loro Kidul (also spelled Nyi Roro Kidul; she also has many other
names) is thought to be a legendary Javanese goddess. Her identity is of a
complex goddess named goddess or queen of the Southern Sea of Java
(Indian Ocean or Samudra Kidul) in Javanese and Sundanese mythology.The
legend of Nyi Roro Kidul herself is very popular. Before turning into a
nymph, Nyai Roro Kidul was a young princess named Dewi Kandita, the
daughter of King Mundangwangi and his first wife. The popularity of Dewi
Kandita and her mother Dewi Rembulan was beyond doubt. They were
known for their beauty, kindness and friendliness, and people loved them.
However, the misery of their lives began when Dewi Mutiara, another wife of
King Mundangwangi, known locally as selir, became green with envy and
grew ambitions to become the first wife, thereby deserving full affection and
attention from the king.Nyai Loro Kidul has many different names, which
reflect the diverse stories of her origin in a lot of sagas, legends, myths and
traditional folklore. Other names include Ratu Laut Selatan ("Queen of the
South Sea," meaning the Indian Ocean) and Gusti Kangjeng Ratu Kidul.
Many Javanese believe it is important to use various honorifics when
referring to her, such as Nyai, Kangjeng, and Gusti. People who invoke her
also call her Eyang (grandmother). In mermaid form she is referred to as
Nyai Blorong. The Javanese word loro literally means two - 2 and merged
into the name of the myth about the Spirit-Queen born as a beautiful
girl/maiden, in Old Javanese rara, written as rårå, (also used as roro). Old-
Javanese rara evolved into the New Javanese lara, written as lårå, (means ill,
also grief like heartache, heart-break). Dutch orthography changed lara into
loro (used here in Nyai Loro Kidul) so the word play moved the beautiful girl
to a sick one - Old Javanese Nyi Rara and the New Javanese Nyai Lara.Nyai
Loro Kidul is often illustrated as a mermaid with a tail as well the lower part
of the body of a snake. The mythical creatures are claimed to take the soul of
any who are wished for. Sometimes Nyai Loro Kidul literally can be spoken
of as a "naga", a mythical snake. This idea may have been derived from some
myths concerning a princess of Pajajaran who suffered from leprosy. The
skin disease mentioned in most of the myths about Nyai Loro Kidul might
possibly refer to the shedding of a snake's skin. The role of Nyai Loro Kidul
as a Javanese Spirit-Queen became a popular motif in traditional Javanese
folklore and palace mythologies, as well as being tied in with the beauty of
Sundanese and Javanese princesses. Another aspect of her mythology was
her ability to change shape several times a day. Nyai Loro Kidul in a
significant amount of the folklore that surrounds her - is in control of the
violent waves of the Indian Ocean from her dwelling place in the heart of the
ocean. Sometimes she is referred as one of the spiritual queens or wives of the
Susuhunan of Solo/Surakarta and the Sultan of Yogyakarta. Her literal
positioning is considered as corresponding to the Merapi-Kraton-South Sea
axis in Solo Sultanate and Yogyakarta Sultanate. Another pervasive part of
folklore surrounding her is the colour of green, gadhung m'lathi in Javanese,
is referred to her, which is forbidden to wear along the south-coast of
Java.The legends say that Kanjeng Ratu Kidul was married to one of the
Mataram Monarchs, Panembahan Senopati, whom she visited and
communed with on certain occasions.Panembahan Senopati (1586-1601 AD),
founder of the Mataram Sultanate, and his grandson Sultan Agung (1613-
1645 AD) who named the Kanjeng Ratu Kidul as their bride, is claimed in
the Babad Tanah Jawi. One Sundanese folktale is about Dewi Kadita of the
Pajajaran Kingdom, in West Java, who desperately sought the Southern Sea
after black magic had hit her. She jumped into the violent waves of the
Ocean where the spirits and demons crowned the girl to the legendary Spirit-
queen of the South Sea. Another Sundanese folktale shows Banyoe Bening
(meaning clear water) becomes Queen of the Djojo Koelon Kingdom and,
suffering from leprosy, travels to the South where she is taken up by a huge
wave to disappear into the Ocean. Another West Java folktale is about the
Ajar Cemara Tunggal (Adjar Tjemara Toenggal) on the mountain of
Kombang in the Pajajaran Kingdom. He is a male seer who actually was the
beautiful great aunt of Raden Joko Susuruh. She told him to go to the east of
Java to found a kingdom on the place where a maja-tree just had one fruit;
the fruit was bitter, pait in Javanese, and the kingdom got the name of
Majapahit. The seer Cemara Tunggal would marry the founder of Majapahit
and any descendant in first line, to help in all kind of matters. Though after
he (the seer) would have transmigrated into the "spirit-queen of the south"
who shall reign over the spirits, demons and all dark creatures.
