Abstract
Indonesia is a country rich in history and culture. This history and culture are hereditary histories that are preserved and narrated from generation to generation. Folklore is one of the cultures that is still believed by the local community. One of the famous folktales is the story of Roro Jonggrang. The folktale of Roro Jonggrang is the folklore that is believed to be behind the existence of the largest Hindu temple in Southeast Asia, namely the Prambanan Temple. The story of Roro Jonggrang is a culture that stores local wisdom inherited from ancestors. Because a folktale is a story that is told by word of mouth, of course, it cannot be separated from the existence of some people who deny the truth of Roro Jonggrang's story. This is because scholars can find evidence regarding the original history of the Prambanan Temple. Even though there is a comparison between folklore and original history, folklore is still accepted as information in society. However, folklore is able to provide religious values, cultural values, ethical values, and social values. This paper will be explained in more detail how the folklore that developed in the community about Prambanan Temple.
