What is the name of the spirit of a Javanese princess who supposely look after the shores of Java? |
Travel Info I heard it takes anyone wearing green (WHY GREEN?) into the sea with her. I think her name sounds like Nyi Keroro something. Travel Tips It's Nyai Loro Kidul or Nyai Lara Kidul (in Javanese language, A becomes O) and she is also known as "Kangjeng Ratu Kidul". She is the queen and goddess of the South Sea, sometimes pictured as a mermaid. It is a local belief that wearing a green garment in these areas will anger her and will bring misfortune on the wearer, as green is her color and no one else should wear it in her territory. The sultans still honor her and bring clothes and personal offerings each year to the South Sea. You will find an article about her love relationship with the Sultan: http://www.sochaczewski.com/artsultanand... Source(s): Lived and worked near Parangtritis, her domain. Other Travel Tips Her name is Nyi Roro Kidul actually Kidul means South as the myth about her exists just in the area of South Ocean of Java I think the one you were thingking about is Nyi Roro Kidul. Some people in Central Java bellieve that she wears green clothes and she likes it. But I haven't (and I hope never!!!) met her... Nyi Loro Kidul.. n..for your other question....may be she likes green...=P in all her movies, she always wear green. or..may be her past husband wear green.. i dunno exactly. u hav to read her history. Her name is Nya'ie Roro Kidol or Enjas Moro Nyai Roro Kidul..Princess of Southern Sea. Why green because she likes green. and doesn't want anybody defeat her. |
