Princess Mandalika
Orientation : Once upon a time in Lombok, There was a kingdom named Kuripan. The king of Kuripan was very wise. He had a daughter, named Mandalika. She was so beautiful. Many Princes wanted to marry her. To choose the one that would be his son-in-law, the king had an arrow shooting competition. The best one would be mandalika's husband.
Complication : On the day of the competition, those princes shoot their arrows. All of them did it perfectly. The king found it difficult to choose. Therefore, the princes began fight and kill each other.
Princess Mandalika was so desperate. She didn't want anyone killing each other because of her. That's why she decided to go to the sea. She died in the south sea of Lombok. The king and princes were sad and felt guilty. They regretted and stopped fighting.
Resolution : Until now, One day in every year, ussualy in february or march, people go to the south sea. On that day, a great number of worms come out from the sea. People call these worms Nyale. People believes that those nyales are princess Mandalika's hair
