Comment
Nyi Roro Kidul (or Nyai Rara Kidul) is a supernatural being in Indonesian folklore. She is the Queen of the Southern Sea in Sundanese and Javanese mythology.
In Javanese mythology, Kanjeng Ratu Kidul is a creation of Dewa Kaping Telu who fills the realm of life as the goddess of harvest and other goddesses of nature. Meanwhile, Nyi Roro Kidul was originally the daughter of Sunda Kingdom, who was expelled by her father because of her stepmother.
Some equate Nyi Roro Kidul with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, although in Kejawen (Javanese religion) belief, Nyi Roro Kidul is a loyal subordinate of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul.
Nyi Roro Kidul's position as the Phantom Queen of Java is a popular motif in folklore and mythology, as well as being associated with the beauty of Sundanese princesses.
