Klero Temple

On a journey to Salatiga (03/04/2010), I and Andrew find a guide on the side of the road board. Precisely at Jl. Raya Solo-Semarang km 12, after passing through the iron-framed bridge. Signage that includes the name of a temple named landmark / Klero. Yes, our location at that time in the village Klero, Kec. Landmark, Kab. Semarang, Central Java.

Location of the Temple Klero only about 50 meters from Jl. Raya Solo-Semarang. With the position of the temple in the middle of the village. Page Klero Temple itself is laid out nicely all around the temple surrounded by towering trees. Not far from the temple, there is the village cemetery. If on this page include seating, more suitable to be tourist attractions.

Temple Klero form similar to Sambisari. Although without the fence of the temple. The outside of the main room surrounded by boxes. I guess a box of yore was a place of wooden stick. To be a kind of fence as possible.

The main room facing west, and in it there is a yoni without a phallus. Near the phallus is the former incense, a sign that the temple was still functioning.

What's interesting is near the entrance of the temple there is a page mortar and pestle. Both are made of andesite stone. According to sources on the Internet, residents said the stone was as Mbah Lumpang Kentheng. Quite interesting, considering this the first time I encountered no agricultural tools found alongside a temple.

As usual, after filling the guest book, making small talk briefly with the guards of the temple, and photographing perfunctory, we had moved away to continue the journey. A relic of the past hidden not far from the hustle and bustle of the highway that never sleeps.
