Barong Temple

Barong Temple is built around the IX-X century AD. Religious background of thistemple is a Hindu. It is known from the findings of statues identified as Dewi Sri, the wife ofLord Vishnu who is the goddess of fertility, the ornate winged shells (Sankha) which is one of the symbols (like) the god Vishnu, and the top of the building (peak) in the form of gems(ratna). The building of this temple is expected to function for cult activities associated withthe application of fertility. This may be related to soil conditions around the temple which is less fertile, so that by worshiping Goddess Sri expected state of the soil will becomefertile.

Barong temple page is divided into three parts, the higher the more backward. The thirdterrace, top, is the most sacred pages. On the terrace of the temple there are twobuildings that have almost the same shape and size. The first temple measuring 8.20 mx8.20 m with a height of 9.25 m, while the second temple measuring 8.25 mx 8.25 m with a height of 9.25 m. The difference between them lies in the decorative and statue. Based onthose two things, allegedly built the first temple for the worship of the god Vishnu, while thesecond temple to the goddess Sri. On the second terrace there is a page-sized structures12.30 mx 7.80 m and some octagonal stone base. Presumably this structure is the foundation building the gazebo with a roof of wood. While on the first page not foundterrace structure.

Overall Cecara allegedly Barong temple complex built in two phases. It can be seen from several indications were found during the restoration carried out, among others, thefindings of the first phase of development talud which until now can be seen south of the second temple
