long time ago, there lived a beautiful woman by the name Roro Anteng. She was a
well known beauty and had attracted the attention of an evil giant possessed
extraordinary magical powers, Roro Anteng dared not reject the giant’s advances
when he proposed to her. Roro thought of a plan to get away from the marriage
without offending the giant. In order to get her hand in marriage, the giant
had to fulfill her wishes.
Roro
then concocted a difficult request in hopes that the giant did not have the
power to fulfill it. She had asked him to make her a sandy desert between the
mountains in one night before the break of down.
Unfortunately
for her, the giant magically and swiftly began to work his powers and was near completing her
wishes. The fast thinking Roro Anteng quickly thought of an idea to disrupt the
completion, she made all sorts of noises that woke up the roosters. The
roosters began to crow bringing dawn in.
On hearing the rooster’s calls, which signaled the break of down, the giant
was shocked for having failed his task. Frustrated, he threw the coconut shell
that he used to dig the desert, the shell fell to the ground beside Mount
Bromo, forming what is now knows as Mount batok (cocnut shell). The sandy plain
wa to form the Tengger Caldera.
