Title Nyi Roro Kidul
Orientation No one denies that the goddess of the south sea is the queen
Nyi Roro Kidul who lives exactly in Parang tritis in Central
Java. She has green hair which fills of shells and seaweed. All
Javanese adore and respect her. Hey never wear anything in
green colour whenever entering the sea for fear of offending Nyi
Roro Kidul.
Complication Before turning into a nymph, Nyi Roro Kidul was a young
princess named Dewi Kandita, the daughter of King
Munangwangi and his first wife. 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 Muiiara, another wife of King
Mundangwangi, known locally as selir, became envy and grew
ambitions to become the first wife. She thought that by being the
first wife she would deserve full affection and attention from the
king.
Dewi Mutiara’s dream came true when one day she bore a
son that the king had long been yearning for. Through the
assistance of a witch, Dewi Mutiara made the king’s wives Dewi
Rembulan and Dewi Kandita suffer from ‘strange’ disease with
their bodies covered with scabies that created an odour of fish.
The disease led them to be sent into exiled in the forest where
later Dewi Rembulan died. After a long, hard and helpless
journey, the scabies covered Dewi kandita eventually arrived at a
beach where she met a young, handsome man who promised to
cure her illness.
Resolution At the request of the young man, Dewi kandita chased after
him as he ran along the beach. When she reached the water, the
man disappears and, to her surprise, all the scabies had
disappeared but, strangely, she could not move her legs. Half her
body from the waist down, had turned into the body of a fish.
Then she became a sea-nymph and locals believe that Nyi Roro
Kidul is the manifestation of Dewi Kandita.
