Spirituality breast Umbul Manding clean water sources in the village Semanding, Keca. Pucanglaban, Kab. Tulungagung, Central Java. Since the water debit in the first place this is indeed great. In fact, even during long dry, Umbul is never short of water.
Because the water debit is relatively large and clean, the water source is used since people first Semanding village and surrounding areas. Particularly for cooking, bathing, washing, and even to irrigate rice fields. His course, Umbul the Manding in the mountains of water which is very difficult.
That could be said unique, a place that is usually used for bathing since first deliberately left open. Not covered anything. In fact, the bathroom there is not only men but also women. They join to become one with bath.
Is there a sense of shame at the heavy-handed or themselves? Perhaps because the habit has become, then there is no shame if you feel that views people, especially the type of opponent. Even if the women are bathing them is no need to feel busy hiding his breast. In fact, there is an impression that breast deliberately exhibited.
For citizens not immigrants who, when bathing in Umbul forced to cover his breast. One of them, such as experienced Darsini, a teacher assigned to teach elementary school in the area.
Bu Darsini confess initially very embarrassed if Umbul in the bath. However, because there is no water source in the village than the place serve Umbul, he also had a bath there. Because of the shame, the initial bath when he was forced to wear clothes. Take a long time because the regular shirt is removed, so it Bra. Finally, if a bath naked chest.
"Do not know why, but perhaps because of habit, now that I took a bath with the residents. Overall breast showroom," said Bu Darsini a smile. While there is near his father a teacher he did not feel ashamed anymore. "Leave, from the views of others, better friend own views, "his caprice.
Because the ritual bathing naked chest, the chance that anyone can see through the clear breast women village.
View from the close, the Village Semanding is still quite conservative. For example, people believe there are still a variety of ancient beliefs. For example, virgin came hours before the first tooth should be rubbed. The reason is, if the breast has been coming months so that its big fast. If it is so, let the virgin quick sales.
Because it is still customary to believe and trust, the number of women in there who can not complete basic education is still very high. For even though still the primary breast is visible most immediately married. Generally parents feel ashamed if there have children who breast virgin is most visible, but not yet married.
Strangely again, for those who are not virgin, returning from a bath Umbul always naked chest.
"Later, if not naked breasts even be thought people still virgin. But I have three children," said Yu Sayem information when requested by mystery.
Why in the bath Umbul Manding left open? And, if the bath is also why women should be naked chest?
Apparently this is related to the community Semanding a legend. They believe the story of a village maiden named Srikunti.
In some forty years ago, joined the list so Srikunti prospective civil servants. In fact he received. Even then the village is the interest of teachers in primary Semanding.
Despite Srikunti already become a teacher but he does not change. Against anyone he still does not make. So many people to him sympathy. One is called the foreman forest Basman. Basman love Srikunti received. Both promised to live together.
Finally, after marriage, Basman to Srikunti brought home his parents who also have the Village Semanding. At first they lived this credo. Srikunti own time is like living in the house law.
But the life of households have only hurdle it. Srikunti hear when a newspaper like the drunken husband. Even though he is reminded, her husband still does not want to hear it. Basman nearly every day because even stagger home drunk.
Feel disappointed because, secretly Srikunti leave home. So that people do not look after Maghrib him a new departure. But after he arrived in the Umbul Munding even stop. Then he sat on the edge umbul. His mind to go someplace where. He remember his parents and his brother-younger brother. Heart trouble.
Does not feel, so long Srikunti already sitting in the pile edge Umbul. While he will leave Umbul, suddenly appears in the water from a daughter of the giant smooth ride. The daughter about Srikunti.
"You do not despair and be firm," said the daughter. "I want to come help you. Now return to the home of your parents. Provide interest rate of seven colors. Tomorrow bring it here. What you will have accomplished, "it said.
After saying so, beautiful daughter of yesteryear where somehow lost. Visible in front of live Srikunti that struck earlier climbed the daughter.
Meanwhile, at home looking for his wife Basman confused. Have sought to go abroad but do not have.
Middle of the night time, Basman have heard the news that a woman fainted near Umbul Munding. He immediately went there. In fact, women who fainted in the near umbul is his wife.
Once aware, Srikunti told what it experienced. Srikunti heard the story, showing confidence in him has taken away invisible Bulus White. Meanwhile, Basman promised not drunk anymore.

Both are awaiting the arrival daughter. But in the long wait until the night the girl never came.
"What is the trick my daughter, so he does not come?" Srikunti think in the heart.
Because there are no signs of the girls came, Srikunti and Basman Umbul decided to leave. But just step over, suddenly heard a voice calling them.
"If you do not want a lot of wealth in a hurry!" Said a voice from within Umbul.
"You what?" Ask Srikunti.
"My invisible Bulus White waiting Umbul Manding."
Basman and Srikunti halt. They appear in front of a beautiful daughter sweet.

"How?" Ask Srikunti.
"It's easy. All the women here do not have a bath when the cover breast. For, if there is the cover to its breast, invisible Bulus White angry."
After such a message, the daughter disappears.
