The Origin of Tulungagung - East Javanese Folklore | Indonesian Stories Do you know how the name Tulungagung originated? Hear this legendary tale from East Java about Duke Betak, the mysterious Ngrowo swamp, and the divine help of a young man named Jaka Baru! 📖 STORY SYNOPSIS: In ancient times, the Betak Duchy was led by Duke Betak, who faced a major problem. His territory was filled with newcomers seeking a place to live, but only a vast swamp called Ngrowo remained. Every attempt to drain the swamp failed due to the continuous flow of spring water. Duke Betak held a competition: whoever succeeded in draining the Ngrowo swamp would be appointed Patih (regent). Many powerful figures tried, but all failed until Jaka Baru arrived from the slopes of Mount Wilis with guidance from his father, Ki Ageng Manggir. With palm fiber and a stick, along with prayers to nature, Jaka Baru succeeded in blocking the water source and draining the swamp. This success prompted Duke Betak to proclaim "Pitulungan Agung!" (Great Help) many times, which ultimately became the origin of the name TULUNGAGUNG.
