'''''Nyi Roro Kidul''''' (or ''Nyai Rara Kidul'') is a [[supernatural]] being in [[Folklore of Indonesia|Indonesian folklore]]. She is the Queen of the [[Indian Ocean|Southern Sea]] in [[Sundanese people#Religion|Sundanese]] and [[Javanese mythology|Javanese]] mythology.

In Javanese mythology, Kanjeng Ratu Kidul is a creation of Dewa Kaping Telu who fills the realm of life as the goddess of harvest and other goddesses of nature. Meanwhile, Nyi Roro Kidul was originally the daughter of [[Sunda Kingdom]], who was expelled by her father because of her stepmother.

Some equate Nyi Roro Kidul with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, although in [[Kejawèn|Kejawen]] belief, Nyi Roro Kidul is a loyal subordinate of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul.

Nyi Roro Kidul's position as the Phantom Queen of Java is a popular [[Motif (narrative)|motif]] in folklore and mythology, as well as being associated with the beauty of Sundanese princesses.

==Etymology==
Nyi Roro Kidul is also known by various names that reflect different stories of her origins, legends, mythology, and hereditary stories. She is commonly called by the names Ratu Laut Selatan and Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kidul. According to Javanese customs, the use of honorifics such as ''Nyai'', ''Kanjeng'', and ''Gusti'' to refer to her is essential for the sake of politeness.

Sometimes people also refer to her as Nyai Loro Kidul. [[Javanese language|Javanese]] ''loro'' is a [[homograph]] for "two - 2" and "pain, suffering". While the Javanese of ''rara'' (or ''roro'') means "girl". A [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Orthography|orthographer]] predicted a change from the old Javanese ''roro'' to the new Javanese ''loro'', resulting in a change in meaning from "beautiful girl" to "sick person".<ref>Jordaan, Roy E. ''Tara and Nyai Lara Kidul ''- Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 56, 1997: pp 303</ref>

==Origin and history==
The legend of Nyi Rara Kidul originated from the [[Sunda Kingdom]] [[Pakuan Pajajaran|Pajajaran]] of the 15th century and is older than that of the [[Mataram Sultanate|Islamic Mataram Kingdom]] of the 18th century. However, research into the [[cultural anthropology]] of the Javanese and Sundanese peoples suggests that the legend of Java's Queen of the Southern Sea may have originated from a much older prehistoric [[Animism|animistic]] belief, a pre-Hindu-Buddhist goddess of the southern ocean. The fierce [[Indian Ocean]] waves of Java's southern coast, its storms and sometimes [[tsunami]]s, may have evoked a sense of reverence and fear for the forces of nature, which came to be regarded as the spiritual realm of the gods and ancestors inhabiting the southern seas led by their queen, a goddess, later identified as Ratu Kidul.

===Dewi Kadita===
One of the Sundanese folktales tells the story of Dewi Kadita, a beautiful princess of the Sunda kingdom Pajajaran who fled to the southern ocean after being cursed. The curse was cast by a shaman at the behest of a rival in the palace and left the princess with a disgusting skin disease. She jumped into the violent waves of the ocean but she instead was cured and restored to beauty. The phantoms then made her the legendary Phantom Queen of the Southern Sea.<ref>Meijboom, Jos - Javaansche sagen mythen en legenden, Zutphen - W.J. Thieme & Cie, 1924 pp 204 - 243, ISBN 90-03-91270-X</ref>

A similar version is Kandita, the only daughter of King Munding Wangi of [[Galuh Kingdom|Galuh Pakuan]]. Because of her beauty, she was nicknamed Dewi Srêngéngé ("Sun Goddess"). Despite having a beautiful daughter, King Munding Wangi was saddened that he did not have a son to succeed him as king. The king then married Dewi Mutiara and had a son from their marriage.

Dewi Mutiara wants her son to become king without any obstacles in the future, so she tries to get rid of Kandita. Dewi Mutiara went to The King and asked him to ban Kandita away from the palace. The King said that he would not let anyone who wanted to be rude to his daughter. Hearing this, Dewi Mutiara smiled and spoke sweet words until The King was no longer mad at her.

The next day, before sunrise, Dewi Mutiara sent her servant to summon a shaman. She told the shaman to cast a curse on Kandita. By nightfall, Kandita's body was itchy with scabies, foul smelling, and full of boils. She cried not knowing what to do. The King invited many healers to cure Kandita and realized that the disease was not natural, it must have come from a curse. Dewi Mutiara forced The King to ban his daughter away as she would bring bad luck to the whole kingdom. Since The King did not want his daughter to be the talk of the whole kingdom, he was forced to agree to Dewi Mutiara's proposal to exile his daughter from the kingdom.

Kandita wandered alone aimlessly and could hardly cry anymore. She did not hold a grudge against her stepmother but requested for [[Sang Hyang Tunggal|Sanghyang Kersa]] to accompany her in her suffering. After almost seven days and seven nights, she finally arrived at the Southern Sea. The ocean water was clean and clear, unlike other oceans that were blue or green. Suddenly she heard a supernatural voice telling her to jump into the Southern Sea. She jumped in and swam, and the waters of the Southern Sea removed her boils without leaving a mark, making her even more beautiful. She had power over the Southern Sea and became a goddess called Nyi Roro Kidul who lived forever. The place of [[Palabuhanratu Bay]] is particularly associated with this legend.

===Princess Banyu Bening Gelang Kencana===
Another Sundanese folktale mentions ''Banyoe Bening'' (meaning ''clear water'') becoming Queen of the Djojo Koelon Kingdom. She suffered from [[leprosy]] and later traveled to the south where she was taken up by a huge wave to disappear into the Ocean.<ref>Njai Loro Kidoel by Inten Bayan aka Rene Adeboi, Moesson, The Hague 1967</ref>

===Princess Aurora Balqis===
According to spiritual teachers, of course, they have defeated her power, Nyi Roro Kidul or Princess Aurora Balqis was born when [[Queen of Sheba|the Queen of Sheba]] exiled herself and meditated on sadness after the decease of [[Solomon|King Solomon]] because the land was again on the verge of destruction and misguidance, In her hermitage she married the King of Djinn and Aurora Balqis was born without a physical body as a pure djinn, finally she ordered her troops to throw her child into the sea of [[Java|Aljawi]] and was found and raised by The Queen of the Southern Sea. Although in Kejawen and spiritual beliefs, Princess Roro Kidul is an outcast princess from [[Sheba|the land of Sheba]].

After growing up, she was given abilities and power with a jeweled scepter and shawl, his scepter was stronger than Nyi Blorong's, and the shawl weapon could be used to summon huge waves and winds in the southern sea coast.

Then she built a kingdom on the right of the southern coast to accompany the Queen of the Southern Sea who loved her very much as a daughter. She always waited for orders from The Queen of the Southern Sea as her adoptive mother and is said to have never married.

When [[Sunan Gunungjati|Sunan Gunung Jati]] introduced [[Sunan Kalijaga]] to the Queen of the Southern Sea Rara Kadita and Nyi Roro Kidul Aurora Balqis were also converted by the two [[Waliullah]].

==Legend and belief==
Nyi Roro Kidul is sometimes depicted in the form of a [[mermaid]] with her lower body in the form of a snake or fish, sometimes also depicted as a very beautiful woman. She is believed to take the soul of anyone she wants.<ref>Becker, Judith. Die Meereskönigin des Südens, Ratu Kidul. hal. 142, Nyi Blorong, die Schlangenfrau - ISBN 3-496-02657-X</ref> Sometimes she is said to have the form of a snake. This belief may stem from the legend about the Princess of Pajajaran who suffered from leprosy. Her skin disease was probably thought to be the same as a snake shedding its skin.<ref>Jordaan, Roy E. Tara and Nyai Lara Kidul - Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 56, 1997: 285-312</ref>

===Pati of the army of the Southern Sea===
Nyi Roro Kidul is believed to be the [[Pati (title)|pati]] of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul who leads the army of phantoms in the southern sea. Kiai Iman Sampurno from [[Blitar]], [[East Java]] (19th century) issued a prophecy that Nyi Roro Kidul and Sunan Lawu would lead their respective armies and spread the plague to humans who behaved badly.

===Ban on green garment===
There is a local belief that wearing a green garment will bring the wearer bad luck, as green is Nyi Roro Kidul's favorite color.<ref name=wormser>''Legend of Borobudur'', hal. 114: Dr. C.W. Wormser - Het Hooge Heiligdom - Uitgeverij W. Van Hoeve Deventer, N.V. Maatschappij Vorkink Bandoeng</ref> Sea green (''gadhung m'lathi'' in [[Javanese language|Javanese]]) is Nyi Roro Kidul's favorite color and no one should wear the color along the southern coast of Java.<ref>Robson, Stuart. The Kraton, KITLV Press 2003, Leiden, ISBN 90-6718-131-5</ref> Warnings are always given to people visiting the southern coast not to wear green garments. The myth is that they could be targeted by Nyai Rara Kidul to become her soldiers or servants (slaves). Logically, the reason arises because water on the southern coast tends to be greenish so drowning victims wearing green garments will be difficult to find.

[[Serat Centhini]] mentions that Gusti Kanjeng Nyai Rara Kidul has ''kampuh gadhung mlathi'' or "a long green ''dodot'' cloth with a white center" that is gold-toned.<ref name=serat>((cite book|url=|title=Centhini: Tambangraras-Amongraga, Jilid I, hal. 53|first=Ngabei|last=Ranggasutrasna|year=1991|location=Jakarta|issn=|isbn=979-407-358-X|publisher=Balai Pustaka))</ref>

===Swallow nest===
''Sarang Burung'' are Javanese bird's nests and are some of the finest in the world. The edible bird's nests, in the form of [[Edible bird's nest|bird's nest soup]] or ''sarang burung'',  find a ready market in [[Thailand]], [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore|and Singapore]] are dedicated to Nyi Roro Kidul, mentioned by Sultan Agung in reports.

There are three harvests which are known as the ''Unduan-Kesongo'', ''Unduan-Telor,'' and ''Unduan-Kepat'', and take place in April, the latter part of August (the largest), and December. The places Rongkob and [[Karang Bolong Beach (Anyer)|Karang Bolong]] along the south coast of central Java are famous for the edible bird's nests, made by the little sea swallows (so-called, but actually [[swiftlet]]s), called ''Salanganen'' or ''[[Collocalia fuciphaga]]''. The harvests are famous because of the [[wayang]] performances which are held, and the Javanese ritual dances which are performed with [[gamelan]] music as the traditional ceremony.

This happens in a cave (Karang Bolong) and when these are ended specially prepared offerings are made in a shed in what is known as "Ranjang Nyi Roro Kidul". This relic is hung with beautiful silk [[batik]] clothes, and a toilet mirror is placed against the green-colored pillows of the bed.<ref>De Cock Wheatley, Ch. In the Realms of a Mystic Queen, Inter-Ocean, 12–13, 1931–'32 – KITLV Leiden Holland pp 205–210</ref>

Nyi Roro Kidul is the patron goddess of the bird's nest gatherers of South Java. The gatherers descend the sheer cliff face on [[coconut fiber]] ropes to an overhang some thirty feet above the water where a rickety [[bamboo]] platform has been built. From there they must await their wave, drop into it, and be swept beneath the overhang into the cave. Here they grope around in total darkness filling their bags with bird's nests. Going back needs very precise timing, to avoid misjudging the tides, and falling into the violent waves.<ref>Blair, Lawrence and Lorne. Ring of Fire an Indonesian Odyssey, Park Street Press Hongkong 1991 ((ISBN|0-89281-430-6))</ref>

===Palabuhanratu===
[[Palabuhanratu]], a small fishing town in [[West Java]], [[Indonesia]], celebrates an annual holiday in her honor on April 6. A memorial day for the locals, offering a lot of ceremonial "presents" to appease the queen. The local fishermen annually send the ''sedekah laut'' ceremony, offering gifts and sacrifices; from [[rice]], vegetables, and agricultural produces, to chicken, [[batik]] fabrics, and cosmetics, to be ''larung'' (sent afloat to the sea) and finally drawn into the sea to appease the queen. The local fishermen believe that the ceremony will please the Queen of the Southern Sea, in return, this would provide plentiful catches in fisheries and bless the surrounding areas with better weather, and fewer storms and waves.

Nyi Roro Kidul is also associated with [[Parangtritis]], Parangkusumo, [[Pangandaran]], [[Karang Bolong Beach (Anyer)|Karang Bolong]], [[Ngliyep Beach|Ngliyep]], Puger, [[Banyuwangi]], and places all along the south coast of Java. There is a local belief that wearing a green garment in these areas instead of blue, purple, lavender, magenta, pink, and violet will anger her in the process and will bring misfortune to the wearer, as green is her sacred color.<ref>Legend of Borobudur, pp 114: Dr. C.W. Wormser – Het Hooge Heiligdom – Uitgeverij W. Van Hoeve Deventer, N.V. Maatschappij Vorkink Bandoeng</ref>

===Samudra Beach Hotel===
The Samudra Beach Hotel, [[Palabuhanratu]], West Java, keeps room 308 furnished with green colors and reserved for Nyai Loro Kidul.<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.jawakidul.nl/room308.htm| title = Room 308 A room for the Javanese goddess of The South Sea| access-date = July 5, 2007| last = Döhne| first = Roy James| publisher = Website Roy James))</ref> The first president of Indonesia, [[Sukarno]], was involved with the exact location and the idea for the Samudra Beach Hotel. In front of room 308 is one [[Terminalia catappa|Ketapang]] tree where Sukarno got his spiritual inspiration.<ref>((cite web| url = http://indahnesia.com/indonesia/JAWSAM/samudra_beach.php| title = Room No. 308 still retains its mystery| access-date = December 20, 2006| last = Khouw| first = Ida Indawati| publisher = The Jakarta Post))</ref> The painting of Nyai Rara Kidul by [[Basuki Abdullah]], a famous Indonesian painter, is displayed in this room.

===Yogyakarta and Central Java===
The legend of Queen Kidul is often associated with beaches in Yogyakarta, especially Parangkusumo and [[Parangtritis]]. Parangkusumo in particular is special since it was the place believed to be the location of the first spiritual encounter between the Queen with [[Senapati of Mataram|Panembahan Senopati]]. Legends recount her love for Senopati and the famous Sultan Agung of Mataram, which continues to be recounted in the ritualized [[Bedhaya]] dance by the royal line of [[Surakarta]], and she is honored by the susuhunans of Solo/Surakarta and the sultans of Yogyakarta, Central-Java. When [[Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX]] died on October 3, 1988, the ''Tempo'' news magazine reported her sighting by palace servants, who were sure that she was paying her final tribute to the deceased King.<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.tempointeraktif.com/ang/min/02/02/nas3.htm| title = Wawancara Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X|  date = March 15, 1997| last = PDAT| first = D&R| publisher = Tempo Nacional| language = id))</ref>

==Kanjeng Ratu Kidul==
Nyi Roro Kidul is often equated with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, though they are different individuals.

Kanjeng Ratu Kidul is often illustrated as a [[mermaid]] with a tail as well as the lower body parts of a fish. The mythical creature is claimed to be able to take the soul of any who she wishes for.<ref>Becker, Judith. Die Meereskönigin des Südens, Ratu Kidul. pp 142, Nyi Blorong, die Schlangenfrau – ((ISBN|3-496-02657-X))</ref> According to local popular beliefs around coastal villages in Southern Java, the Queen often claims the lives of fishermen or visitors who bathe on the beach, and she usually prefers handsome young men.

The role of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul as a Javanese Spirit-Queen became a popular motif in traditional Javanese folklore and palace mythologies, as well as being tied in with the beauty of Sundanese and Javanese princesses. Another aspect of her mythology was her ability to change shape and her appearance several times a day.<ref>Bogaerts, Els. Scription Van sunans, sultans en sultanes; Ratu Kidul in the Panitik Sultan Agungan – M.A. Thesis, Rijskuniversiteit Leiden, Holland</ref> Sultan [[Hamengkubuwono IX]] of Yogyakarta described his experience on spiritual encounters with the spirit Queen in his memoir; the queen could change shapes and appearance, as a beautiful young woman usually during a full moon, and appear as an old woman at other times.<ref>Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX memoire "Takhta untuk Rakyat"</ref>

Kanjeng Ratu Kidul is in control of the violent waves of the [[Indian Ocean]] from her dwelling place in the heart of the ocean in a significant amount of the folklore that surrounds her. Sometimes she is referred to as one of the spiritual queens or wives of the [[Susuhunan]] of Solo or [[Surakarta]] and the [[Sultan]] of [[Yogyakarta]]. Her literal positioning is considered to correspond to the [[Mount Merapi|Merapi]]-[[Kraton (Indonesia)|Kraton]]-[[Indian Ocean|South Sea]] axis in the Solo [[Sultanate]] and Yogyakarta Sultanate.<ref>((Cite journal|last1=Troll|first1=Valentin R.|last2=Deegan|first2=Frances M.|last3=Seraphine|first3=Nadhirah|date=2021|title=Ancient oral tradition in Central Java warns of volcano–earthquake interaction|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/gto.12350|journal=Geology Today|language=en|volume=37|issue=3|pages=100–109|doi=10.1111/gto.12350|s2cid=236573835 |issn=1365-2451))</ref>

Another pervasive part of folklore surrounding her is the color aqua green, ''gadhung m'lathi'' in Javanese, which is favored and referred to by her and is thus forbidden to wear along the southern coast of Java.<ref>Robson, Stuart. The Kraton, KITLV Press 2003, Leiden, ((ISBN|90-6718-131-5))</ref> She is often described as wearing clothes or ''selendang'' (silky sashes) in this color.

==In popular culture==
• The myth of Nyi Loro Kidul as the queen of the southern ocean has become a popular source of inspiration in Indonesian culture, both traditional and modern.

• Some local traditional theaters, particularly Sundanese [[Sandiwara]] and Javanese [[Ketoprak|Kethoprak]], may retell this legend in their performances. It has become the main theme of mystery, horror, and epic genres of Indonesian film and [[sinetron]] TV series.<ref>((Citation|title=Bangunnya Nyi Roro Kidul|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8581492/|website=IMDb|access-date=2018-12-28))</ref>

• The tale of the Queen of the Southern Ocean has become the source of one of ''[[Mobile Legends: Bang Bang]]'' character, '''Kadita''' from [[Sunda Kingdom|the Kingdom of Sunda]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2018/12/24/character-inspired-by-mythical-queen-of-the-southern-sea-appears-in-mobile-legends.html|title=Character inspired by mythical queen of the Southern Sea appears in Mobile Legends|author=liz/wng|website=The Jakarta Post|language=en|access-date=2018-12-28))</ref> She is also the inspiration behind the song “Queen of the South” by the [[Bandung]] band ((ill|The Panturas|id)).
