2/30 – Pangpang sè Kamantan

This article was translated automatically from Indonesian. Read the original

Pangpang sè Kamantan is the legend of the construction of the Great Mosque in Bangkalan. The king's men found three great columns for the mosque but could only find a fourth that was a little short and slightly crooked. A wise man with sakti (supernatural powers) counsels the king to parade the defective column around the city while praying, which results in a fourth perfect column. As told by Pak Moh. Hasan Sasra
