Hi everyone,, In this video, I want to convey in more detail about the historical mystery of Putri Pukes Cave,
Putri Pukes Cave is one of the historical and legendary tourist sites located in Takengon, Central Aceh. This cave holds a tragic story that has been passed down from generation to generation by the local community, making it a place full of mystery and full of cultural value.

The legend that surrounds this cave tells of a princess who experienced a tragic fate due to an oath that forbade her from looking back when leaving her hometown to marry a prince from another region. On the way, her longing for her homeland was so strong that she could not restrain herself and finally looked back. Immediately, she was cursed to become a stone in the cave.
The local community believes that the stone in the cave is the embodiment of Princess Pukes who was petrified because of the curse. In fact, there is a belief that this stone often looks wet as if it is crying, adding to the mystical aura of this place.
The large stone inside the cave which is believed to be the figure of Princess Pukes is the main attraction. This stone often looks damp, which is believed to be the tears of the princess who continues to cry over her fate.
