| LEGEND OF NUSA LEMBONGAN |
| |
In the year 1200, lived an
old man called Dukuh Jumpungan, he was from mount Kila
(considered to be in the Klungkung Regency). This
aged man owned a boat that had a magical power.
Legend has it that whenever he sailed with his boat, everything
he encountered and struck with his boat would become an
ocean.
One day, Dukuh Jumpungan heard that there was a very sacred
mountain called Mount Tohlangkir. Dukuh Jumpungan was
challenged by himself to prove the magical power of this
boat by hitting the sacred mount Tohlangkir. He wished
he could make Mount Tohlangkir disappear and became an
ocean.
He sailed in a southeast direction from Padang Bay, and
purposely ran his boat into mount Tohlangkir. A very dreadful
collision occurred and unfortunately the boat rebounded
shakily, and finally sank.
An island appeared in the area where the boat rebounded
shakily and is now called Nusa Ceningan, the place where
his boat sank became an island and is now called Nusa
Lembongan. |
