Once upon a time, there was a village on the banks of Komering River’s confluent. It was called Perigi. Perigi was located in what is now Kayuagung City, Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) Regency,
around sixty kilometers to the southeast of Palembang, South Sumatera. It was a peaceful, lush, and beautiful village. Huge trees with wide dense leaves grew all over the village. The people
got clear water from a stream near a forest at the end of the village for cooking and other uses. The branch of Komering River ran on one side of the village, providing the people with water and all its natural resources. There were many fish on the river. In addition, the people also got their needs from the forest on the other side of the village.
