Bromo Mountain As The Fantastic Volcanoe At Java

Climbing mountains is my hobby. I really love this hobby because we can enjoy the beautiful landscape created by God. We can also refresh our mind after we work all day in the city.


One of the most beautiful and magical mountains in East Java which I have visited is Mount Bromo. It is located in Probolinggo Regency not far from the Malang Regency. You know that this mountain is very interesting because you can see the beautiful sunrise and sunset from this mountain. You can take a magical picture from the sky above this mountain.

Beside that you can see the beautiful or large field or what the Bromo people call ‘Lautan Pasir’ or ‘The Desert Sea’. It is very beautiful if you see from the top of Mount Bromo.

On the top of Mount Bromo, there are also a ‘Kawah’ or ‘Crater’, where visitors can make their body warm in the cold conditions of this mountain. In this crater you can see some beautiful colors of fire and beautiful smoke going up to the sky.

To go to the top of the mountain you can ride a horse. You can rent a horse cheaply. And there are some guides who can help you to get some stories about Bromo and the people's lives who live there.

In the first of Suro Month, (the name of Javanese month), there is also a ceremony of ‘Kasodo’. This ceremony is very interesting to see because there are some unique cultures on this event. This ceremony is for ‘Dewa’ or God, which has blessed them (the people of Bromo) upon their welfare. You know that generally the people of Bromo follow Hinduism. According to the story, the Bromo people came from the Majapahit Kingdom, the biggest Kingdom in Nusantara. Please enjoy the unique culture and the beauty of Mount Bromo.

 The Legend of Gunung Bromo

Hundreds of years ago, during the reign of the last king of Majapahit, Brawijaya, one of the King’s wives gave birth to a girl, who was named Roro Anteng. Later this young princess married Joko Seger, who came from a Brahman caste. Because of an unfortunate situation the couple was forced to leave the kingdom. They settled down in the mountain area. They ruled the area and named it “Tengger”, which was derived from the couples’ names: Roro Anteng and Joko Seger.
After several years the region flourished in prosperity, but Roro Anteng and Joko Seger were unhappy because they did not have a child. Frustrated, they climbed the top of the mountain and prayed night and day hoping that the gods would listen. The prayer was heard and Betoro Bromo promised them many children. However, the couple had to promise that they would sacrifice their youngest child in return.
Roro Anteng gave birth to a child, then another, and another. In the end Roro Anteng and Joko Seger got 25 children. Soon it was time for them to sacrifice the youngest child, Kesuma, but the parents just could not do it. They tried to hide the child, but an eruption happened and Kesuma fell into the crater. There was silence before they heard a voice: “I have to be sacrificed so that you will all stay alive. From now on, you should arrange an annual offering ceremony on the 14th of Kesodo (the twelfth month of Tenggerese calender.”It was Kesuma’s voice. Kesuma’s brothers and sisters held the offering ceremony every year. Instead of a human being, these people collected fruit, vegetables, rice and meat to be offered to the gods. And this has been done generation after generation until today.
