History & significance

A single-cella Buddhist candi in the valley south of the Ratu Boko plateau, unusual among surviving Central Javanese Buddhist temples for a curved roof crowned by one solitary stupa. Discovered collapsed in 1940 and reconstructed by 1978, it carries Kala-Makara ornament, Bodhisattva and Tara figures in its niches, and reliefs of Hariti and Vaisravana.
