Coban Rondo Waterfall - Malang, East Java Indonesia
Where : Malang, East Java Indonesia Place : Coban Rondo Waterfall When : Mid Aug 2008 ![]() After they got married for 36 days (in Javanese: selapan), Anjarwati asked her husband to go together to Mount Anjasmoro. However, Anjarwati's parents forbade them to go because they were newly wedded couple for only 36 days. The two of them insisted to go anyway. ![]() Fight between Joko Lelono and Raden Baron Kusuma was unavoidable. Raden Baron Kusumo asked punokawan who accompanied him (Petruk, Gareng, Semar, Bagong) to hide Anjarwati, and then to bring her to a place with a waterfall (in Javanese: coban). ![]() The fight was very fierce, and both of the men were killed. Therefore, Anjarwati became a widow (in Javanese: rondo). Since then, the waterfall (coban) where Anjarwati waited for her husband has been known as Coban Rondo. It is said that the huge stone under the waterfall was the place where Anjarwati used to sit to weep her fate. I was told by my tour guide(don't know true or not) that anyone who took a bathe or splash water from this waterfall onto her face, will look younger. So, do you think I soak myself in the chilled water or splash water on my face when I was here? *wink*wink* ![]() ![]()
