The temple was built not in any place. The places where the temple is a shrine built-grandparents our grandparents choice in the past. But unfortunately, places where it now may have a different appearance than a hundred years ago. Suppose it is a result of the metamorphosis of time. So, do not be surprised if there has been a temple which was found at the bottom of the rice fields, among the crush of the factory, and even amidst the tree bark like a temple located in losari village, Kec. Salam, Kab. Magelang, Central Java.
Go to Garden Salak
To visit the Temple Losari, you can use a private vehicle or public transport, because Hamlet Losari is on the Jl. Jogja-Magelang, about 2 km after the gate of the border provinces of Yogyakarta and Central Java. If you're observant, on the side of Jl. Jogja-Magelang also contained directions to the temple board Losari. Arriving at the hamlet Losari, it helps you ask the residents about the location of Temple Losari, because the temple is located in the middle of the garden and barking in the village there are lots of garden bark!
Teacher Temple
On Sunday (10/05/2009), I was accompanied by Mr. M. Eme Badri as the owner of the garden barking and also the inventor of the Temple Losari. The story of Mr. Badri alone in finding this temple have been published in Kompas daily. Even so Mr Badri who is also teacher SMP 12 is very keen to tell us about the temple Losari. Actually salak plantation owned by Mr. Badri is the family legacy is a garden which had previously been managed by his grandfather and father. But in 2002 Mr. Badri started getting a feeling that there is "something" in the garden that he barked. When he dug the ground to make a trench, he found several stone temples. But at that time he has not taken the initiative to lift it, so that the stones were dumped back into the soil. New in 2004, Mr. Badri took the initiative to remove all the stones he had found and the result is 2 car colt full of stones. The stones were then he Boyong and prepared at home. From there the existence of Temple Losari revealed to the public, including BP3 Central Java and the future of print media coverage.
In August 2008, the Central Java BP3 assisted by a team of archaeologists from the University of Gadjah Mada University has finished the eighth hole digging and found the position of the main temple and three ancillary temples. BP3 Party Central Java itself has begun to liberate the lands surrounding the temple. Excavation process is constrained by the type of soil that buried the stones. The land is very hard and memantikkan fire when exposed to contact with the digging tool. From the eighth hole dug, currently only 2 holes are opened and the holes are closed again with earth. Mr. Badri said it was an attempt to prevent the theft of stones of the temple. In a hole dug as deep as 4 meters, we can see the stone temple is under water. According to Mr Badri, it comes with its own water from the soil and can not be drained using a pump machine. Not far from the site, Mr. Badri said there is an ancient river is now dry.
Mr. Badri now volunteer as a temple guard Losari. We are proud of him as Mr. Badri because Indonesian people have a great concern to preserve the legacy of ancestors. His daughter named Ika seem to be following in the footsteps of his father, because he has registered as a student of Department of Archaeology GMU with his own will and choice. Excavation Losari Temple will soon be resumed this year. We all hope on my next visit Temple Losari been fully exposed. Perhaps according to GMU Archaeology team, this temple is rich in beautiful relief.

Ancillary temples hidden in the trees bark.
Another piece of chapel dirty with soil.
The rocks are piled temple again closed plastic.
Another dug a hole in the hillside soil.
Fun examine the temples while eating bark!
