Next is the folklore of Sangkuriang, this story is the folklore of the Tangkuban Perahu, which contains the story of how the Tangkuban Perahu boat was created. It is a folk tale from West Java. The story begins when a woman named Dayang Sumbi has a child named Sangkuriang.
Unbeknownst to their son, they both have a dog named Tumang. The dog is the incarnation of Sangkurian's father or the husband of Dayang Sumbi. Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang to get Dayang Sumbi's thread that was left behind, when Sangkuriang returned alone, not with Tumang. It turns out that Tumang was abandoned by Sangkuriang on purpose. Hearing this Dayang Sumbi was furious and threw Sangkuriang out.
This West Javanese folklore continues when Sangkuriang wanders alone leaving his hometown, and forgets everything, including about his mother. After many years, Sangkuriang returned to his hometown and did not recognize anything, including his mother. He also fell in love with Dayang Sumbi and did not know that Dayang Sumbi was his mother.
Dayang Sumbi did not even know that Sangkuriang was her son. Sangkuriang also proposed to Dayang Sumbi, Dayang Sumbi accepted. Until one day, Dayang Sumbi found out that Sangkuriang was her son and tried to annul the marriage. Sangkuriang went berserk and kicked the canoe or boat, so that later the boat formed a mountain which is now known as Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
