History & significance

A small, plainly decorated Shaivite shrine near Yogyakarta holding a lingam-yoni with Ganesha and Nandi images, its chambers probably once roofed in wood in the manner of Balinese meru. It came to light by accident on 11 December 2009 during excavation for a university library, buried some five metres deep under Merapi ash like Sambisari, Morangan and Kedulan.
