Candi Abang



After visiting the Temple Gana, I was with my friend named CCN Alpat decided to go to Candi Abang. From the narrative Dessy (Math '06) to go to Temple Abang The easiest way is through Jl. Jogjakarta, Prambanan Piyungan of market direction. At mile to-8, you will find a board that lists green signpost directions to the Temple Cave Abang and Sentono. Follow the path designated board and the better you ask people around to ensure the shortest path to the temple Abang. The temple is situated on a hill that is not too high but the road on the hill leading to the temple is paved alias still rocks. I suggested that vehicles parked in the closest house and continue the journey by foot. Administratively, this temple is located in the hamlet of Candi Abang, Kel. Jogotirto, Kec. Berbah, Kab. Sleman, Yogyakarta.

Soil mound
Arriving there, I have to explain to Alpat that the surrounding hills that look great in front of us is a temple in question. You will not find a whole building of the temple or the temple that collapsed here. From the literature I find on the internet, the shape of this temple is like a pyramid with a base of 36x34 meters and height, which until now has not been predictable. The center of this temple in the form of wells and there are stairs entrance made of white stone (limestone). Some andesite stone fruits are also found around the temple are still not known clearly will function. Some literature also mentions the discovery of yoni on this site, which gives the notion that this temple is a Hindu temple.

Red Bricks
This temple called Candi Abang because this temple is made of red brick, not stone andesite as temples in general. Due to the nature of red brick easily back into the ground, then within a period of hundreds of years this temple back into the soil mound. Some people believe in this temple treasures are stored. Hence in 2002 never happened in the excavation of this temple is destroyed statues around. This temple is surrounded by woods and valleys. In the forest there are also a stone which, according to the children we met named the rock umbrella. Is that also includes relics of the past or not but there are just people making love at the temple site.


I wonder why no post BP3 in this temple. Is it the temple was left abandoned. So, what if the case of digging to find treasure happen again? I think it would be nice if there is a nurse, a kind of gatekeeper for this site. Maybe building magnificent temples that long ago and no longer have to be reconstructed, but with conditions like this temple at least we try to keep his condition later in life are not much changed from today.
