Tangkuban Prahu, the inverted boat, name of a volcanic mountain near Bandong on 

 the border of Krawang. It is 6236 Rhineland feet high, and contains a doublé crater 

 at the top. It has obtained its name from its resetnblance to a boat turned bot- 

 tom up, as seen from positions in the Preanger Regencies. There is an old legend 

 which says that it is the remainder of a boat which was being constructed to sail 

 about an immense lake which occupied the present plain of Bandong, formed by damming 

 up the Chitarum at the Sengyang Tikoro. The tree to make this boat was felled on 

 Bukit Tunggul, or stump hill, and the branches are represented by Gunung Burangrang, 

 lying at either extremity of the Tangkuban Prahu. The dam in the Chitarum and 

 the boat to sail on the lake were to be all completed in one night and ready before 

 day- break. This feat was about to be accomplished , and great results obtained, when 

 the disconcerted adversary feil upon the following device. On the water of the lake 

 which was rising behind the dam of the Sengyang Tikoro, he strewed the shiniog 

 white leaves of the Wurungan and at same time causing the women to beat the rice- 

 blocks, induced the belief that day had dawned , when the dam was abandoned in dis- 

 pair, just before it was completed, and the Chitarum soon afterwards burst itself a wav 

 again into the Lowlands. The saga of the land points out the rude features of the 

 country in confirmation of this story. The work was abandoned in dispair , but the 

 rude remnants still remain to attest to the mountaineer the truth of the origin of the tale.
