As a plant that holds significant importance in the culture and daily life of many countries, rice often occupies a special place in legends and mythology. Unfortunately, there is no single version or origin that can be precisely identified, as these stories often vary across different cultures.

For example, in Chinese mythology, there is a legend about Nüwa, a creator goddess, who fashioned humans from clay. One variant of the story mentions that Nüwa also created rice to feed the newly created humans. Rice is considered a symbol of abundance and life.

In India, legends about Goddess Annapurna, the deity of fertility and prosperity, are often associated with rice. Annapurna is believed to be the provider of abundant food, and her existence is closely linked to the rice plant that feeds millions of people.

So, what about the myth of the origin of rice in Indonesia? Is it related to Goddess Sri, the goddess of prosperity? Was Goddess Sri already known in the Majapahit Kingdom era? In this video, you will find the answers.
