Summary of Asal Usul Kota Bandung | Cerita Rakyat Jawa Barat | Kisah Nusantara
Mpu Wisesa, a powerful mandraguna man, found and raised two abandoned babies named Wira and Jaka after the eruption of Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
Mpu Wisesa taught Wira and Jaka various knowledge, including kanuragan and life wisdom.
Wira was diligent and responsible, while Jaka was lazy and disruptive.
Wira and Sekar had feelings for each other, but Jaka proposed to Sekar, causing a conflict.
Mpu Wisesa decided to hold a competition to determine who would marry Sekar by extinguishing the lava of Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
Jaka gave up on the competition, while Wira found a way to dam the Citarum River and redirect the water to extinguish the lava.
Wira successfully completed the competition and married Sekar, leading to the formation of Lake Bendung, which later became Bandung City.
