Kedulan Temple is a Hindu-style temple located in the hamlet Kedulan, approximately 3 kilometers from the temple Kalasan. This temple was accidentally discovered by miners sand on 24 November 1993. Distinct pleasure to be gained when visiting this temple, because you can enjoy the process of reconstruction of the temple which is very complicated.Excavation site as deep as 7 meters will be directly met on arrival in this temple complex.Excavation site that contains the temple stones are scattered in all directions and the foot of the main temple is visible still fused. In this excavation site Kedulan temple complex which consists of a main temple and three ancillary temples (companion) originally stood.Now, the foot of the main temple being tested in order to be boarded kekokohannya other stones at a later stage.
Surrounding area around the excavation site, will be found the temple stones which was reconstructed by matching stones with one stone. Stones that have been successfully matched are certain symbols that are written using chalk. Visible temporary construction fencing hall of the temple buildings, roofs, chambers of the temple and some other parts of the body temple. Seen also phallus and yoni which allegedly is a component that fills the chambers of the temple.Some of the ornaments which decorate the temple has enjoyed its beauty even though the temple itself is still in the stage of reconstruction. For example, relief under the dragon yoni which is expected to fill the main chamber of the main temple, a different figure with dragon decoration yoni other temples in Central Java since seen to have jaw. There are also reliefs of gods in some parts of the temple walls, ornate tendrils, rosette, and the relief motif.Completed rounds, YogYES talking with one of the staff named Haryono. He told me how hard it is to reconstruct the building had collapsed. There are hundreds of stone that must be matched so that the temple could stand up again, but to match them no clues at all.Because of the difficulty, sometimes a worker can only match one other stone with a stone within a week. Yes, like put together a giant puzzle.When entering the information room next to the excavation site, you can determine the approximate design Kedulan Temple. From the results expected, the main temple has a height of 8 meters, divided into the legs, body and roof. The temple consists of 10 layers of stone with a height of 2.4 meters, has a few niches containing statues of Ganesha (son of Lord Shiva), Agastya, Durga (wife of Lord Shiva), Nandaka and Nandiswara (vehicle Goddess Durga), and has a narrow corridor that thought to only be entered certain people.The roof of the temple consists of 13 layers of andesite. From the above information can be estimated that the overall architecture is similar to Sambisari temple.At the same information space, you can see the debris debris ornate bowls and pottery items allegedly used in ritual worship in this temple. In addition, there is also the wood comes from trees that grew during this temple stood. Haryono told YogYES that one tree wood chips that had brought someone to be carved, but returned because the person who took it experienced disastrous.Some photographs of other objects found during excavation can also be seen in the information space. There is a photo made from bronze statues of gods and photos and Sumudul Pananggaran inscriptions found in 2003. On the walls of the room, there is a picture of the soil layer where the temple stones are found, as well as photographs depicting the process of excavation that lasted for years.On June 12, 2003, found 2 pieces of inscriptions at the excavation site. Inscriptions written in Sanskrit Pallawa and has been successfully read by two epigraf from the Department of Archaeology University of Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Dr. Riboet Darmoseotopo and Tjahjono Prasodjo MA. Dates to the year 791 Saka (869 AD, or about 10 years after the Prambanan temple stands), the contents of the land tax exemption in the Village Pananggaran and Parhyangan, making dams for irrigation, the establishment of sacred buildings named Tiwaharyyan curses and threats for anyone who does not obey the rules.Some archaeologists suspect that the inscription relating to the establishment Kedulan Temple. The building is a temple sacred Tiwaharyyan allegedly Kedulan itself.Pananggaran village described in the inscription believed to be in the area around the temple, as well as the dam in question. But until now have not found traces of an ancient dam in question. Perhaps the dam was built on the River Opak within ± 4 km from the location of the temple, or perhaps also in the river which is now no longer exists as it is covered lava eruption of Mount Merapi, a thousand years ago.The number puzzle waiting to be solved along with the charm component of the temple made the trip to Temple Kedulan interesting to do. The condition of the temple are still in the stage of reconstruction just added pleasure when visiting.Script: Yunanto Wiji Utomo
