Built at the end
of the 13rd century, 3 km of Pandaan on the slopes of Gunung Penanggungan, this
temple was built in memory of Kartanagara, last king de Singosari (1268 - 1292)
to be used to him as burial. In 1331, after an earthquake, the base of the temple
was doubled by a buddhistic stupa . Kartanegara thought that Buddhism and shivaïsm
were the two facets of the same belief, this is why, the statue which occupied
the cella is for half with the image of Shiva, and for half with the image of
the Akshobhya Buddha.
This
small temple contains superb illustrated reliefs.
At
the southwest angle of the site, we can see the brick remainders
of Candi bentar , the large door of entry of
the site. This porch was identical to Candi
Berahu in Trowulan.
The statue of Durga
of Candi Jawi is now exposed in the museum of Surabaya.
It is perhaps
the largest old statue of Indonesia with nearly six meters in height. It is
a statue of the Buddha Akshobhya. It is on the slopes of the Welirang mount,
close to the village of Trawas, at the limit of a forest of pines. This one
could be called the forest of the giants because one finds there enormous stone
tables with three to four meters of side and almost a meter in height. These
sculptures, not completed, date from the time of Mojopahit. The Buddha, released
and cleaned has become an object of pilgrimage if not veneration, at the time
of the buddhistic festival of Waisak.
It
is located at the foot of the Penanggungan mount on its western
face 7 km north of Trawas. Built in andesite in 977, but taken
again in the 14th century, Candi Jalatunda
was very well restored these last years.
The bath includes
two tanks for ablutions, surrounding a central block on which a representation
of the Meru Mount was drawn up, currently in the National Museum of Jakarta.
Images of the epic of the hero Arjuna were added to the 14th century. In this bath was also found in 19th century a funeral urn containing ashes.
Located at 500 m of the village of Wonosunyo, on the slopes of mount Penanggungan, its construction was spread out from 950 to 1049, then was taken again in 1375.
Candi
Belahan owes its celebrity with the three statues
which were aligned on the back frontage of the bath. Two statues
are still on the spot, and the third is in the new museum of
Trowulan.
It is about the superb statue of the hero Airlangga divinized in Vishnu, and
represented sitted on Garuda, the mounting of the god . A chronogram indicates
that in 1049, ashes of king Airlangga were deposited here.
On both sides of the
statue, figure two other sculptures of female divinities related
to Vishnu, Sri and Lakshmi (in fact two aspects of his spouse),
which presses her breast to make squirt water... sacred of
course.
The site is situated 3 km in the south of Ngoro, on the slopes of the mount Gunung Gajah Muncur.
All
the site, which was to be immense, is spread out at the bottom of
the carpark of arrival, from where one sees only the two large
brick doors ( gopura ) of access to the
site.
Only a small part of the site was released and is in the process of rehabilitation, under shelter.
This temple is located in full nature - extraordinary landscape - close to the village of the same name, next to Sajen, 10 km of Pacet, on a cultivated piece dominating a small brook with cool water. On the background, one can see the heavy silhouêtes of mounts Welirang and Penanggungan.
The monument has a dimension of 7,20 m X 7,20 m at its base, for a current height of 5,50 m, with a base of 1,70 m.
The
temple is built with large blocks of cut volcanic stones. The access is contained
by an enclosure surrounded by a wire fence and a padlocked gate, most of the
time closed.
All
around the building stretches a broad stringcourse decorated with characters
and animals. It is about an illustration of the text entitled Samodhamantana,
which is a version of the famous history of the Churning of the milk sea, which
puts at the catches Deva and Asura (gods and demons) in their
search of immortality.
