It's a little temple at Yogyakarta, visible clearly from the road. Though we bought tickets to go inside, it's not worth it as there is nothing inside.

Very basic Temple in the local community. Gives you a good idea of the smaller scale temple dotted all over the region during that period. Now the area has changed to Islam faith. Historically the place was Hindu Buddhist. All depends on the rulers of the time. Still the locals are very peaceful and friendly.

Small but nice temple. We visited here right before going to Pawon Luwak Coffee that’s only couple of meters away. There will be many sellers offer you merchandise and gift, buy if you like or reject it politely.

For the VW safari trip, it's a nice place to have a photo in the early morning.. so stunning, as you can see 👀

Beautiful small Buddhist temple, belonging to the same group as Borobudur and Mendut.

As if in tandem. After Borobudur Temple, you will be brought over Pawon temple by your guide. Pawon Temple. A small temple in an open, like garden setting, space and within like, maybe 5 minutes, it will be time-out. On your way out, those traders? They are adamant in closing sales with you and they will make sure you run after you. Buy if you feel.
