Long time ago, there was a beautiful woman named Dayang Sumbi. She lived happy with her husband named Tumang. Tumang was a dog. It was the transformation of prince from the heavenly kingdom of Kahyangan. They had a son named Sangkuriang. He was a handsome and smart boy but he did not know that tumang was his father.
One day, Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang to go hunt with Tumang. She asked Sangkuriang come back before sun set with the animal for dinner. After hunting all day, Sangkuriang felt worried because he had nothing. Then, he thought that he might take a liver of Tumang in order to make his mother happy. He shot Tumang and carried the liver to the home. Dayang Sumbi knew that it was Tumang’s Liver. She was definitely angry and hit Sangkuriang’s head. Because of that accident, Sangkuriang got wounded and scar in his head. He felt confuse why her mother so over sad. After that, he decided to go away from their home.
Some years later, Sangkuriang on his journey stopped at a village. He met a beautiful girl and fell in love with her. The beautiful girl was his mother, Dayang Sumbi. He did not realize that the village was his homeland the beautiful girl was his own mother. They loved each other and planned to get married. Someday, Dayang Sumbi shocked when she saw a scar on the man’s head at the same place where shehit Sangkuriang on the head some years ago. She realized that he was her missing son, Sangkuriang. She thought that she had to do something to prevent Sangkuriang from marrying her. But she did not wish to disappoint him by cancelling the wedding. So, although she agreed to marry Sangkuriang, she would do so only on the condition that he provides her with a lake and built a beautiful boat in one night. Sangkuriang accepted this condition without a doubt.
Sangkuriang called a group of genie to build a dam around Citarum River. Then, he commands the genies to cut down trees and build a boat. A few moments before dawn, Sangkuriang and his genie servants almost finished the boat. Dayang Sumbi worried if Sangkuriang could finished it so she asked all the women in the village to wave a long red scarf that make it look as dawn was breaking so the cock crowed.
Sangkuriangs’ genie servants immediately dropped their work and ran for cover from the sun, which they feared. Sangkuriang grew furious. With all his anger, he kicked the unfinished boat. The boat flew and landed on a valley. The boat then became a mountain, called Mount Tangkuban Perahu (Tangkuban means upturned or upside down, and Perahu means boat). With his power, he destroyed the dam. The water drained from the lake becoming a wide plain and nowadays became a city called Bandung (from the word Bendung, which means Dam).
