a beautiful site of a budhist temple. you can see, imagine how grande in its time. it can be seen at the restored temple even it has been never completed. i hope someday there will be a computer programme which can restore, redesign, the temple as it's origin

5 stars for the temple. We can see the remaining bajralepa (the gold plaster coat) on a budhist temple.

The surrounding is a dense residential, but very clean,, so it’s a pleasure to walk around and enjoying the temple from afar, as a backround of the village’s roofs

The facilities is basic and clean

This temple has a very nice details engraved in some parts of its walls.. They're really majestic.. Somehow, most parts of this temple is broken n not complete coz of the missing stones.. The place in easy to find, and nowdays there is enough parking lot for even a bus, but you must be becareful because the way to the parking lot si just too steep

This is one of the glorious Buddhist temple in sub-urban of Jogjakarta. I love being here when the sum is setting down.

The Budhist temple was grandeur. I just can't imagine how it was in it heyday. The temple was build as a worship place for Boddhisatva Tara (a female deity) and presented by a Hindu king for his Buddhist wife.

A beautiful temple, it's smaller than other big complex temple like borobudur or prambanan, but still a cool place to visit but unfortunately at february 2018 we cant enter the temple because of previous earthquake so they will renovate it in 2018. It's quite close from yogya and close to prambanan temple. The temple is side to side with local houses, the people at the ticket box is friendly and he will answer your questions about this temple but there's also a board that contain explanation about the temple. It's located near the high way but it's a quite quiet place and we can get a good picture here, the ticket box open till 5 p.m. in the afternoon people start to visit the temple maybe at 3 p.m. people start coming because the sun isnt so hot anymore, but the entrance from the road is quite small and the parking lot is also small, the accesss to enter the area of the temple is quite hard for a big bus or big vehicle.

The temple is located right beside the main road, but its empty, very different compared to the nearby Prambanan. Entering the temple is free and the temple itself is quite interesting to visit compared to some other in the area.
