Kedulan Temple


Kedulan temple is a Hindu temple figured that there is in Hamlet Kedulan, approximately 3 kilometers from the temple Kalasan. This temple is found accidentally by the sand on 24 November 1993. Which will be different when you visit this temple, because you can enjoy the process of reconstruction of the temple is very complicated.

Location 7 meters deep excavation will be found once arrived in this temple complex. Locations include the excavation of the stones to the temple which spread all over the foot and the main temple appears still ignites. This is the excavation site in the temple complex Kedulan the temple consists of 1 main and 3 temple perwara (assistant) originally stood. Now, the main temple middle leg strength tested to be crushed stones on the next stage.

Encircle the area around the location of excavation, will be found rocks in the middle reconstructed temple in a way to match the stone with other stones. Stones that have been successfully matched symbols that are written using chalk. Appear while building construction barrier fence selasar temple, roof, temple room and some parts of the body other temples. Visible also Yoni conservancy and the components that are suspected to fill the room temple.

Some of the ornaments that decorate temples have enjoyed candinya own beauty even though still in the reconstruction phase. For example, relief under the dragon Yoni estimated fill the main room main temple, figurnya different with dragon decoration Yoni temple in Central Java has seen the other jaw. There is also a relief of the god in some parts of the temple wall, decoration-spiraling suluran, roset, relief and batik motifs.

Done around, YogYES was talking with one of his staff called Haryono. He tells how difficult it is re-building that has been the collapse. There are hundreds of stones that must be matched so that the temple can stand again, but for disamakankan no instructions at all. Saking difficulty, sometimes only a worker is able to match the stone with a stone in a span of a week. Yes, like composing a giant puzzle.

If you enter the room next to the location information in the process, you can find out the estimated design temple Kedulan. From the estimated, mother temple has 8 meters high, divided into the legs, body and roof. Body temple consists of 10 layers of stone with a 2.4 meters high, has a niche containing the statue of Ganesha (son of god Siwa), Agastya, Durga (the wife of god Siwa), Nandaka and Nandiswara (vehicle Goddess Durga), and have a narrow selasar suspected to be entered only certain people. Roof temple consists of 13 layers of stone andesite. From the above description can be estimated that the overall architecture is similar to the temple Sambisari.

In the information space is also, you can see the rubble, debris, rubble and debris bowl titivate gerabah suspected of goods used in the liturgy ritual in this temple. In addition, there are also wood-wood that came from trees that grow during this temple stood. Haryono told the YogYES that one of serpihan wood that was brought to someone carved, but returned again for the people who would bring a disaster.

Some photos of things that others found during the excavation can be seen in the information space. There are images of bronze statue of the god and photo inscription Pananggaran and Sumudul were found in 2003. On the wall of the room, there is a description of the soil layer of stones temple is found, and the photographs that illustrate the process of excavation is in progress for many years.

On 12 June 2003, the inscription found in 2 locations digging. Inscription written in letters and Sanscrit Pallawa is successfully read by two epigraf from the Archeology Department of Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, namely Dr Riboet Darmoseotopo and Tjahjono Prasodjo MA. Saka year numbered 791 (869 BC, or about 10 years after the Prambanan temple stood), the contents of the tax exemption of land in the Village Pananggaran and Parhyangan, creating a dam for irrigation, the building named holy Tiwaharyyan and the threat of condemnation for anyone who does not comply with the rules.

Some archeologists suspect that is related to the inscription of the temple Kedulan. The building is a holy temple Tiwaharyyan suspected Kedulan itself. Village Pananggaran told that the inscription is suspected in the region around the temple, so also is the dam. But until now have not found trace the ancient dam. Perhaps the dam was built in the River Opak a distance of ± 4 km from the temple site, or perhaps also in the river that is now no longer exists as a closed lava eruption of Mount Merapi, a thousand years ago.

The many puzzles waiting to be solved and its charm component of the temple to temple tour Kedulan interesting to do. The condition of temples that are still in the reconstruction phase would add fun when walking to get there.
