Roro Anteng and Joko Seger



There was a couple who lived on the foot of Mount Bromo, Roro Anteng and Joko Seger. After eight years of marriage, they had not had any children. For six years they prayed, pleaded with gods to give them children. Finally, Their prayer was complied on one condition, they would have to sacrifice their youngest son to the Bromo crater.


After some time, Roro Anteng gave birth to a child. And it happened every year until they had 25 childrenss. They lived happily and ignore the agreement. The Mount Bromo erupted signaling that the gods asked the couple to fulfill their promise. But they did not want to let their youngest son, Raden Kusuma, be sacrificed to the crater.


Raden Kusuma learned about the deal his parents had made. Meanwhile, the lava from the crater had made the people living near the mountain suffered. Raden kusuma was a kind and noble man. He did not want his siblings and the people suffered because of him. Therefore, he went to Mount Bromo and sacrificed himself to crater. The eruption suddenly stopped.


Since that day, every Kasodo fourtieth in the tenggerese calendar, The tengger people (descendants of Roro Anteng and Joko Seger) give offering to the crater, as Raden Kusumo had asked before the sacrifice.
