Hello everyone..!
In here I will tell you about the legend of Lake Batur, if you have never read and understood its origin, let's read it now. Understand begins with a reading culture.
Anciently lived a husband and wife in Bali, both don't have children. They always prayed for God. Their prayers and requests were finally granted by God, and his wife conceived and then gave birth to a baby boy. The baby boy grew quickly, he had a strong appetite, his appetite was equivalent to ten adults, very large body and the more his appetite increased, he was given the name Kebo Iwa which means "Paman Kerbau".
Kebo Iwa's body grew bigger. One day his food needs were the same as the needs of one hundred adults. His parents really had trouble fulfilling Kebo Iwa's desire to eat. Kebo Iwa is famous for being angry. If he is angry, it will damage everything he meets, he used to damage the homes of residents, even the place of worship was destroyed. The residents were very scared when they saw Kebo Iwa angry.
But Kebo Iwa was also willing to help villagers who needed assistance in their labor, he was willing to make wells, move houses, level the land, and transport large stones, and he asked for compensation in the form of eating in sufficient quantities. The residents became very worried about the food ingredients that could be given to Kebo Iwa, if he gets enough food, he will be quiet. One day the villagers planned and made away to deal with Kebo Iwa. Villagers finally found a way to realize their plans. The residents worked together to gather food little by little to become Kebo Iwa's meal. Some people also worked together to collect limestone. After everything was ready, the village chief and several residents immediately met Kebo Iwa. Hearing that there was a lof of food, Kebo Iwa immediately agreed to the request of the residents.
The residents requested that a large well be made. Kebo Iwa immediately agreed and started working, he built several houses as desired by the village head. Meanwhile, the villagers collected limestone near the place Kebo Iwa was digging the ground. Knowing this, Kebo Iwa was surprised, the residents said that they would make a big house which would require a lot of limestone. Kebo Iwa felt very happy, and the water in the well made by Kebo Iwa began to radiate out until a large pond was created. The village chief kept asking him to dig the soil so that the wells grew bigger and deeper. Kebo Iwa continued to work until he was exhausted and starving. The villagers came to bring food to Kebo Iwa, Kebo Iwa ate heartily, after eating Kebo Iwa fell asleep. Seeing Kebo Iwa asleep, the village chief ordered all residents to throw limestone into a hole made by Kebo Iwa. The more water emanating from the ground and the more limestone is put into the pit. finally Kebo Iwa's nose became blocked and he woke up. The water gushed more and more, and limestone continued to be thrown. Even though Kebo Iwa had very strong energy, Kebo Iwa was helpless, finally Kebo Iwa breathed his last breath in a large excavation hole. The water continued to radiate until it passed and flooded the village. A large lake was finally created. the lake is called Lake Batur. The pile of land around the lake then turns into a mountain and is called Batur Mountain.
Alhamdulillah.
The legend of Lake Batur is over, I hope can useful and add increase for the readers.
