Gana Temple

The location of this temple is located in the north Sewu temple. This temple is located in the Village Bugisan, located in eastern Park Prambanan Temple.

In The Village
there are no street signs indicating the direction of the temple.
To more easily you must be at the border gate of the Yogyakarta-Central Java, Yogyakarta direction. After that you must turn to the left at the fork in the red light, heading Jl. Prambanan-Sewu. The left side of the road is a fence Park Prambanan Temple. Follow the road until you meet with a small fork in the road right near the plaques bertulisakan Bener Hamlet, Village Bugisan. Turn right, follow the village road until you arrive at the intersection. Afterwards turn left and follow the only path until you encounter the ruins of the temple on the left side of the road. Administratively, this temple is located in Hamlet Bener, Bugisan Village, Kec. Prambanan, Kab. Klaten, Central Java.

One of the Four Temples
This temple is one of four temples that surround the temple Sewu. Candi Gana is a temple located on the east side of the temple Sewu . Bubrah There is also a temple on the south side. Two other temples namely Ngeblak and Rejo, has lost its existence.
If the view of the stupa is sitting in the yard, this temple is a Buddhist temple. But it is not found in the area of the ruins of Buddha statues, statues stored at room BP3-owned project located in one corner of the page temple.

Statue and Relief Animals
This temple has many reliefs and statues related to the animal. but quite scary because its shape is quite strange. First, there is a statue without a head who is decorating a gutter. Arca is intangible such as bird, there are wings and legs but has a woman's chest. The statue has a female head. So the statue is a bird-chested and women-headed.

Second, there is also relief lion head. But the tangible like a dog's head. Relief is the result of people around the temple is also called as a temple dog. There's more relief that is not intact, revealing only a claw creature that I think belong to four-legged animals, whether lion or dog. Finally, on the steps of the temple entrance decorated both sides with decoration of a woman holding something. small objects under the woman's chest is a collection of cobras. creepy right?
