Unrequited love. The sentence is said to be the origin of the Prambanan Temple which was built in the 10th century, during the reign of two kings, Rakai Pikatan and Rakai Belitung. A young man named Bandung Bondowoso fell in love with a beautiful princess named Roro Jonggrang. But Roro Jonggrang was reluctant to accept the proposal from Bondowoso.

Jonggrang also challenged Bondowoso to make 1000 statues in one night as a way of refusing Bondowoso because he was sure the young man would not be able to fulfill these requirements. However, Bondowoso almost completed the challenge given by Jonggrang. Aware of this, Jonggrang asked the villagers to pound rice and make lighting so that the atmosphere seemed like morning so Bondowoso failed to fulfill his request.

Chickens crowded when Bondowoso just worked on the 999th statue. When he found out about Jonggrang's cheating, he condemned him for becoming the 1000th statue. Besides being famous for the legend of Roro Jonggrang, Prambanan Temple recognized by UNESCO as one of the world heritage.
