Revealing the Puzzle of Ancient Dams in Around Temple Kedulan

Kedulan Temple is a Hindu-style temple located in the hamlet Kedulan, approximately 3 kilometers from the Temple Kalasan. This temple was accidentally discovered by the sand miners on 24 November 1993. Distinct pleasure will be obtained when visiting this temple, because you can enjoy the process of reconstruction of the temple which is very complicated.
The location of the excavation as deep as 7 meters will be directly met on arrival in this temple complex. Excavation site that contains the temple stones scattered in all directions and the foot of the main temple that looks still intact. In this excavation site Kedulan temple complex consisting of a main temple and 3 of chapel (companion) originally stood. Now, the foot of the main temple being tested kekokohannya can be boarded for other stones in the next step.
Surrounding the area around the excavation site, will be found the stones of the temple that was reconstructed stone by matching one with another stone. Stones that have been successfully matched are certain symbols that are written using chalk. Looks temporary construction fencing hall building of the temple, roof, temple and some other parts of the body temple. Also visible phallus and yoni who allegedly is a component that fills the temple.
Some of the ornaments that decorate the temple has its beauty can be enjoyed even though the temple itself is still under reconstruction. For example, relief under the dragon yoni which is expected to fill the main chamber of the main temple, a different figure with an ornamental dragon yoni temple in Central Java, other causes appear to have jaw. There are also reliefs of gods in some parts of the temple walls, ornate tendrils, rosette, as well as relief motif.
Done around, YogYES had talked with one of his staff named Hary. He told me how difficult it is to reconstruct the buildings that have been torn down. There are hundreds of stone which can be matched to the temple could stand again, but to match them no clues at all. Because of the difficulty, a worker sometimes only able to match one another with one stone stone within a week. Yes, like put together a giant puzzle.
When entering the information on the excavation site, you can determine the approximate design Kedulan Temple. From the results expected, the main temple has a height of 8 meters, divided into the legs, body and roof. The body of the temple consists of 10 layers of stone with a height 2.4 meters, has several niche containing a statue of Ganesha (son of Lord Shiva), Agastya, Durga (the wife of Lord Shiva), Nandaka and Nandiswara (vehicle goddess Durga), and has a narrow corridor which allegedly only accessible to certain people. The roof of the temple consists of 13 layers of andesite stone. From the above information can be estimated that the overall architecture similar to Sambisari.
In the room the same information, you can see the rubble rubble pottery bowl decorated and goods suspected to be used in ritual worship in this temple. In addition, there are also wood comes from trees that grew during this temple stood. Haryono told YogYES that one tree wood chips were never brought someone to be carved, but returned again because the person who took it experienced disastrous.
Some photos of other objects found during excavation can be seen in the information space. There are photos from bronze statues of gods and images and Sumudul Pananggaran inscriptions found in 2003. On the walls of the room, there is a picture of the soil layer where the temple stones are found, and photographs that illustrate the process of excavation that lasted for years.
On June 12, 2003, 2 pieces of inscriptions found at the excavation site. Inscriptions written in Sanskrit letters Pallawa and has been successfully read by two epigraphical from the Department of Archaeology, Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, namely Dr Riboet Darmoseotopo and Tjahjono Prasodjo MA. Numbered from the year 791 Saka (869 AD, or about 10 years after the Prambanan temple stood), the contents of the estate tax exemption at the Village Pananggaran and Parhyangan, making dams for irrigation, establishment of sacred buildings named Tiwaharyyan and the threat of condemnation for those who do not obey the rules.
Some archaeologists suspect that the inscription relating to the establishment Kedulan Temple. Tiwaharyyan shrine believed to be the Temple Kedulan itself. Pananggaran village described in the inscription believed to be in the area around the temple, so did the dam in question. But until now have not found traces of an ancient dam in question. Perhaps the dam was built on the River, a distance Opak ± 4 km from the location of the temple, or perhaps also in the river which is now no longer exists as it is covered lava eruption of Mount Merapi, a thousand years ago.
The number puzzle waiting to be solved along with the charm component of the temple to make a trip to Temple Kedulan interesting to do. The condition of the temple which is still in the reconstruction phase would add pleasure when visiting.

Reading the Message from Nirvana in the temple was

Not all temples have beautiful reliefs typical because generally only decorated by statues and reliefs that are common in almost all temples. One of the beautiful relief of the temple was typical that is, a temple which was accidentally discovered by a brick craftsman in Gampingan Village, Piyungan, Bantul in 1995. Despite its small size and incomplete, the temple was still rich in dazzling relief.
One of the reliefs that can be found in this temple are reliefs of animals on the foot of the temple. Animal relief in looks so natural that can be known types of animals are depicted. The temple is quite rare to have such relief, at least only Prambanan and Mendut have similar relief. All the reliefs that decorated with tendrils background, namely padmamula (lotus roots) are believed to be the source of life.
When YogYES around, looking kind of animal is a bird that dominates. There are reliefs crow that seemed to have half of a large, sturdy body, the wing inflates upward and fan-shaped tail. There are also reliefs depicted woodpecker has a crest on its head, beak, which is rather long and pointy and wings that do not expand. In addition, there is also a rooster who has breasts and wings expand downward.
Making bird reliefs in the temple in large quantities is related to community belief in transcendental power of the bird. It is believed, the bird is a manifestation of the gods as well as natural messengers of the gods or nirvana. Birds are also associated with human absolute freedom achieved after successfully left the world, the symbol of human soul separated from his body.
Relief of other animals that is often described is a frog. The community believed that frogs have supernatural powers that can bring rain, so the frog is also believed to increase productivity, because water rain will be able to increase crop yields. Frogs are often emerge from the water also symbolizes the renewal of life and resurrection to a better direction.
Until now, the relief was still leaves the question of whether a fable (story didongengkan animals in children) as in Mendut or description of the animals that deliberately to show specific intent. The question arises because the description of the animals in the temple was not found in books containing fables, such as the Jataka, Sukasaptati, Pancatantra and its derivative versions.
The temple was expected to be built between the years 730-850 AD believed to be a place for worshiping Jambhala (God of fortune, the son of Lord Shiva). It was based on the discovery Arca Jambhala when excavation. Jambhala described being in a state of meditation, his eyes closed while sitting cross-legged. The body was decorated by iconographic elements (asanas) in the form of a lotus with 8 pieces of leaves as a symbol of chakra in the human body.
Figure Jambhala in this temple is different from those in other temples. Generally, Jambhala other temples depicted with wide eyes that looked at the devotees along with a variety of decorations that symbolize prosperity and luxury. It is believed, is different depiction is based on the motivation of worship, not to invoke prosperity but guidance in order to achieve true happiness.
Visiting the temple was going to take us to remembering the path we have taken to achieve happiness and prosperity. Relief that is dominated by animals that live in the surrounding environment could be the realization of the local community's wisdom by that time in representing a message from nirvana: to live in prosperity and avoid disaster, people should maintain harmony with nature.

Plaosan complex is divided into 2 groups, namely Plaosan and Plaosan Lor Kidul. Both the temples have a rectangular-shaped terrace surrounded by a wall, where meditation shaped substation in western and stupas on the other. Because of the similarities, the appearance Plaosan Lor and South nearly identical when viewed from a distance so that until now Plaosan also often called the twin temples.
Building Plaosan Lor has a central courtyard surrounded by a wall with the entrance on the west. At the center of the courtyard there is the marquee size 21.62 mx 19 m. In the eastern part of the pavilion there are 3 pieces of the altar, the altar of the north, east and south. Preview Amitbha, Ratnasambhava, Vairochana, and there at the altar Aksobya east.

21 Years Chaining "Puzzle" Sambisari

Nothing strange feeling Karyowinangun descend on a morning in 1966. But a rare event experienced in the field at the time, when you're swinging the spade into the ground. Hoe who swung to the ground hitting a large rock that once seen as having carved on its surface. Karyowinangun and people around were surprised by the presence of chunks of rock.
Department aware of any archaeological findings come too soon and then set the area as a sanctuary of ancient Karyowinangun field. Carved stone, found it supposed to be part of the temple that may be buried under paddy fields. Excavation was then executed to find hundreds of other boulders and ancient statues. And indeed, the stones were indeed is a component of a temple.
Lapse of 21 years later, finally able to enjoy the beauty of the temple. The temple building was named Sambisari Sambisari stands majestically in the hamlet, village Purwomartani, Kalasan District, Sleman, 10 kilometers from the city center. You can reach by driving through the cross streets of Yogya-Solo to find signposts towards this temple. Next, you just turn left following the line.
YogYES was surprised when it arrived at the temple area. When direct views into the middle area of the temple, just looks as though the roof stone structure plays only a few feet above the ground. YogYES wondering, what's really Sambisari just that small? After the close, then we get the answer. Apparently, Sambisari temple is 6.5 meters lower than the surrounding region.
Sambisari could have been built between the years 812-838 AD, probably during the reign of Rakai Garung. Temple complex consists of 1 main temple and 3 supporting temples. There are 2 fences surrounding the temple complex, a fence has been completely refurbished, while one other fence revealed only slightly to the east of the temple. Still as a barrier, there are 8 pieces scattered phallus stakes in each direction of the wind.
Main temple building is unique because it does not have a mat like other temples in Java. The foot of the temple also functions as a base so that parallel to the ground. The foot part of the temple left plain, without reliefs or decorations. Various decoration Simbar most of which are found on the body to the top of the temple exterior. The ornaments glance like batik motifs.
Stepping up the stairs of the entrance of the main temple, you can see an ornament of a lion in the open mouth of makara (the magical animal in Hindu mythology) are dropped. The figure of makara in Sambisari is an evolution of the makara form in India that can be a blend of elephant with a fish or a crocodile with a curved tail.
1 meter wide corridor will be found after passing through the last stair of the main temple entrance. Passing through this, you will see three niches, each of which contains a statue. On the north side, there is a statue of Goddess Durga (the wife of Lord Shiva) with 8 hands each holding a weapon. While on the eastern side there are statues of Ganesha (son of Goddess Durga). On the south side, there is a statue of Agastya with aksamala (prayer beads) are worn around the neck.
Entering the primary compartment of the temple, can be seen phallus and the yoni is large enough, approximately 1.5 meters. Its existence shows that this temple was built as a shrine of Lord Shiva. Phallus and yoni in the main temple room is also used to make holy water. Typically, water diguyurkan the phallus and allowed to flow through a small ditch on the yoni, then housed in a container.
Exit from the main temple and heading west, you can see the third chapel (companion) is facing the opposite direction. There are allegations that the chapel was intentionally built without a roof because when the excavation was found in the stones of the roof. The interior of the chapel center has a square pedestal decorated with dragon and Padmasana (lotus flower) spherical convex on it. Possibly, Padmasana and mat used as a statue or offerings.
When you are satisfied with enjoying the beauty of the temple, you can go into space information. Some of the photographs that illustrate the environmental field Karyowinangun before the excavation and initial conditions of the temple when the discovery. There are also photographs of the excavation and reconstruction of the temple that lasted for tens of years, including pictures of other objects found during excavation, bronze statues that are kept at the Institute for Preservation of Archaeological Heritage.
The beauty of the temple Sambisari now we can enjoy is the result of the hard work of archaeologists for 21 years. The temple that initially looked like a giant puzzle, piece by piece was reconstructed for the sake of sustainability is one more great cultural heritage of the past.

It can be seen with the Linga and Yoni, Ganesha statues, and gold plate that reads "Om namah swaha Rudra yes" as a form of worship of the god Rudra, which is another name of Lord Shiva. The existence of Hindu elements that prove the existence of religious tolerance that is reflected in architectural works. Indeed, when it Rakai Panangkaran who are followers of Buddhism to live side by side with the followers of Hinduism.
Few people know that this palace is the witness of the initial triumph in Sumatera land. Balaputradewa had fled to the palace before the Sumatra when he was attacked by Rakai Pikatan.
