Who is Roro Jongrang? According Wikipedia: The Legend of Roro Jonggrang (Javanese: ꦫꦫꦗꦺꦴꦁꦒꦿꦁ, translit. Rara Jonggrang) is a Javanese popular legend (folktales) from Central Java telling the story of love and betrayal, the warrior and the cursed princess. It also explains the mythical origin of Ratu Boko (Javanese: ꦫꦠꦸꦧꦏ, translit. Ratu Baka) palace, Sewu temple, and the Durga statue in Prambanan temple compound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roro_Jonggrang PT Taman Wisata Candi Prambanan and Borobudur re-create this epic legend into magnificent modern dance that combine traditional folk with contemporary art.
