The mountain was used as a source of construction rocks to build the nearby Mrica Hydroelectric Dam project. Tampomas means "winnows of gold" in Sundanese. The mountain area is locally known as Agro Gusti Kencanawati named after lady spirit resides there. The legend says that a royal couple once had an argument and their spirits lay in the two rock outcrops side by side for eternity. The nearby mountain is where the male spirit is supposed to reside.
