The meaning of Lengger is to give advice and messages to everyone to be able to invite and defend the truth and get rid of ugliness.

[2] The Lengger dance began with a competition from the King Brawijaya of Majapahit who lost his daughter, Dewi Sekartaji.

This competition was participated by many knights and finally only 2 participants left, namely Raden Panji Asmara Bangun disguised as Joko Kembang Kuning from the Janggala kingdom and Prabu Klana from the opposite kingdom.

It was Prabu Klana that made the King's daughter run away because she was about to be paired with Prabu Klana, to win the competition, Joko Kembang Kuning goes on a quest disguised as a topeng (masked) woman who dances from one area to another to lure the princess out of her hiding place.

In the end, Dewi Sekar Taji emerged from hiding and finally Joko Kembang Kuning won the competition and married the princess.
