Princess Mandalika Once upon a time in Lombok, there was a kingdom named Kuripan. The kingdom of Kuripan was very wise. He had a daughter named Mandalika. She was so beautiful. Many princes want 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…… One the day of the competition , those princes shot their arrows. All of them did it perfectly. The king found it difficult to choose. Therefore, the princes began to 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 and plunged herself into it. She died in the south sea of Lombok. The king and princes were sad and felt guilty. They regretted and stoped fighting. Until now, one day in every year… usually in February or March, people go to the south sea. One that day great number of worms come out from the sea. People call these worms “nyale”. People believe that those nyales are princess Mandalika’s hair…
