Although the stupa, the stupa is no longer intact because it is not part of it may dirangkai intact, you can still enjoy them. Visiting temples is based on the known history of the temple that Prasasti berhuruf Panagari this, you will recognize the severity of Rakai Panangkaran even had time to build a sacred building in Thailand.

This temple is located in the village Mendut, Mungkid, Magelang, around 38 km northwest of Yogyakarta, and 3 km from the temple Barabudur. Mendut Budhistis temple and is closely related to the Borobudur temple and Pawon. Even the third temple is a unity and are in a straight line.
Mendut temple is also not known the exact year of construction and the king in power at that time. However J.G. de Casparis in Mendut disertasinya the temple with the king Indra, a descendant of king Sailendra. An inscription found in the village numbered years Karangtengah 824 M Sailendra king who issued the other Samarattungga, said that the king Indra Samarattungga father had built a building called holy Venuvana (bamboo forest). Casparis opinion if this is correct, then Mendut temple was founded about 800 years old M also. Other data that can be used as a temple pertanggalan Mendut is finding any posts short (part of the mantra Budhis) suspected of coming from the top of the entrance. From the paleografis any posts are similarities with the writings on the short relief Karmawibhangga at the Borobudur Temple is suspected so that Mendut sezaman with Borobudur, and may be older.


In the year 1834 Mendut temple began to get attention even if the same fate with the other temple-temple, which is in collapse and destroyed.

Brandes step forward and try merestorasi Mendut temple and then resumed by 1908, although Van ERP does not work fully reconstruct.


In the temple there is a statue of Buddha is the largest in Indonesia with about 3 meters high made of black stone and loaded with cult attributes.


J.G. de Casparis Mendut temple that was built to glorify the ancestor-ancestor Sailendra. In the main room this temple there are 3 pieces of sculpture according to the experts-sculpture figurine is identified as Cakyamuni that diapit by Bodhisatwa, Lokeswara and Bajrapani. In the book of Sang Hyang Kamahayanikan mentioned that the highest reality (advaya) memanifestasikan itself in 3 gods (Jina), namely: Cakyamuni, Lokesvara, and Bajrapani. As a Budhistist temple, reliefs in the temple also contains Mendut stories moral teachings that usually form the stories of animals that come from Pancatantra from India. Stories, among other is a turtle diterbangkan by a goose and two tails be depicted beneath some shepherd children that seems to ridicule the turtle. Because turtles are in the emotional response to derision, the terlepaslah gigitannya of the rod so that the timber held, and drop dead. The core story is about the nature of academic hubris that will harm themselves.


Direction Mendut temple is not appropriate to the west, but slightly shifted to the northwest. Is the overall area of 13.7 x 13.7 meters high and up to the roof of some 26.5 meters.

Majapahit kingdom based in East Java that has a heritage that is still standing strong in the area of Central Java, precisely on the slopes of Mount Lawu. Interestingly, this temple as the temple it is said the most erotic in the world. Why?
Travel to the temple I Sukuh of the direction of Karanganyar. Lawu to ascend slopes, taking the same direction with Tawangmangu. Exact location in the District Sukuh. Quite easy to find, because this temple is an identity for the District of Karanganyar.
Because standing in the altitude, fresh air immediately greet when I set foot in Sukuh this site. A temple-shaped building punden gate to welcome me the first time. A ladder to the top of the fence selebar restrained by two berhimpitan. I used to believe this is the entrance to the building upon it. I have to get there, the fence was locked. But it is interesting that on the floor exactly in the gate, there is a commemorative and Yoni face. Lingga and Yoni is a representation of the genitals of men and women. Often also agreed as a symbol of fertility.
Located exactly at the entrance and the fact that people often make a call this temple as a taboo. In fact, according to the culture can be a full Java akan symbol, and the placement of commemorative Yoni repellent as it is for troops to enter the temple.

According to the trust of the local community, conservation and Yoni in the gate was often used as a means to test the chastity of women across the symbol. If the use of good fabric tear means that maintaining the purity of women, but if the cloth kebayanya apart, then held her purity has been lost. Ah patriarchal ...
This gate was merely an introduction to the temple building that is located higher. Because the fence is closed, then I take the road to ascend the stairs to the gate is. Spread of a terrace field enough. To reverse the body, it will be seen Karanganyar district panorama from a height. Luckily the weather was sunny. Without obstruction fog that is usually down in the afternoon, I can look offshore to the green valleys and houses a la rural.
Gate a few meters longer visible on the front. Gates is only waist-like fence, guarded by two dwarapala already camping compang shapes. And there again in front of the temple building nampaklah the shape almost the same as under the gate before, but larger and higher. Apparently this is the core building.

Before approaching the core of the building, scattered obelisk and reliefs, which some of them also are not full anymore. According to the story, where the ceremony Ruwatan Hindu tradition, which is reputedly held.
I berbegas enter the building core and ascended to the top of the peak. Narrow alley stairs only enough for one adult body that feels so cold. And on top, scattered with flowers setaman offerings that are still fresh. Karanganyar Society is up to now there are many who believe the mainstream Kejawen and mystical. Not surprisingly, this temple is still used for ritual-a ritual.
About the nickname erotic, in addition to commemorative symbolism and Yoni in a fence, also appear on the reliefs remaining. But it seems to have no more. Perhaps because it is too vulgar, that is relief that no more. Ah what a pity. Is properly regarded as a culture and can be told about the condition and the message you want to be made when the temple was built. According to friends who take me to the temple Sukuh, first there is a statue shaped men are memegangi tool kelaminnya who are in the area ereksi this temple. The statue is also no more.
Temple Sukuh see this year , the 1437 M, termuda is a Hindu temple in Indonesia. Built in the fall of Majapahit era of army troops urged by Islamic Sultanate of Demak.
In fact there was a temple that is also a legacy of Majapahit, not far from the location of Temple Sukuh. The temple is known by the name Cetho. Unfortunately, my time out on the slopes this Lawu limited. So it must pass the temple.
Although only a few moment, but the Mount Lawu has given me a gift the beautiful panorama. Down from the site Sukuh temple, I go through the carpet kebuh tea green mountainous area in Kemuning. Pemda Karanganyar apparently has not been exploring the panoramic garden tea like this at the top that have been so many activities by tea walk. Only some of the entourage descend enjoy.

But for me, Lawu already tells a lot about the panorama, on the aura mistisnya until now remains the spiritual center of the island of Java and of course about the history.
