The Legend of Telaga Warna




The Legend of Telaga Warna

Long time ago, there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king named Prabu. He was a kind and wise king. But it was a pity that Prabu and his queen hadn't got any children. The queen often cried. That was why Prabu went to the jungle. There he prayed to God every day, begging for a child.

“Oh My God. You have given everything for me. But, until now you haven’t given me a child. So, please show me and my wife your miracle.”

A few months later, the queen got pregnant. She was very happy. Nine months later, a princess was born. Prabu and Queen loved their beautiful daughter so much. They gave whatever she wanted. It made Princess turn into a very spoiled girl.

One day, the princess celebrated her 17th birthday party. Many people gathered in the palace. Then, Prabu took out a necklace which was made from gold and jewel.

"My beloved daughter, today id your birthday. May God always bless you. So, I give you this necklace. Please, wear this necklace," said Prabu.

"I don't want to wear it! It's very ugly! Can you give me anything except this necklace? I am pretty, it’s impossible for me to wear it, Dad." shouted the princess.

Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the floor. Everybody was very shocked.

“Oh My God, I never think that our princess will do that cruel thing.” Said a few of people.

In their silence, people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying too. Then, everybody was crying. Then, there was a miracle. Earth was crying.

Suddenly, from the underground, a spring emerged. It made a pool of water. Soon, the place became a big lake. The lake finally sank the kingdom.


Nowadays, people called the lake "Telaga Warna". It means "Lake of Color". On a bright day, the lake is full of color. These colors come from shadows of forest, plants, flowers, and sky around the lake. But some people said that the colors are from the princess's necklace, which spreads at the bottom of the lake.
