History & significance
A 9th-century Buddhist group a few hundred metres north of Prambanan, laid out like Sewu with one main shrine ringed by sixteen stupa-crowned perwara. Its original name is lost; the nearby Kelurak inscription naming a compound dedicated to the bodhisattva Manjusri is generally taken to refer to Sewu rather than to this temple.
