Damarwulan is a Javanese legendary hero who appears in a cycle of stories used in the performance of wayang klitik; as well as Langendriya (female dance-opera) and ketoprak (popular theater). These stories tell of the struggles between the Majapahit and Blambangan kingdoms; in which Damarwulan gains honor. The stories are especially popular in East Java.
The Damarwulan legend is associated with the Majapahit court at the time of the queen Suhita; at which time there was a war with Blambangan. However; the names of the characters Damar Wulan ('radiance of the moon') and Menak Jingga ('red knight') suggest that it may incorporate elements of an older sun-moon myth. It is uncertain when the story was first recorded and by whom. Pictures From History
