The name of Borobudur, as some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while the other says that Borobudur means monastery on the high ground.

Borobudur-shaped building with staircase punden consists of 10 levels. Height 42 meters before it was renovated and 34.5 meters after the renovation because the lowest level is used as a drag. Six lowest level of a square and three levels on top of a circle and one of the highest levels of Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. In accordance madhhabs Mahayana Buddhism, every person who wants to reach the level as the Buddha had to through every level of life is.

The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing human beings that are still bound by lust. Four levels above referred Rupadhatu symbolizes man who had to break free from lust but still bound manner and form. On this terrace, Buddha effigies are placed in open space. Meanwhile, three levels above where the Buddhist stupas are laid in holes called Arupadhatu, symbolizing man who has been free from lust, appearance, and shape. The top part is called Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing.

Each terrace has beautiful relief panels showing how skillful. Relief that will be read coherently when you walk in a clockwise direction (towards the left of the entrance of the temple).

Some say Borobudur initially stood surrounded by a swamp and then buried by the eruption of Merapi. Calcutta is essentially the inscription reads 'Amawa' means sea of ​​milk.

GAMELAN PERFORMANCES (the javanes orkestra)

Gamelan is the music created by the blend of sound gong, kenong and other Javanese musical instruments. Soft music rhythm and harmony of living reflects the Javanese will soon greet and soothe the soul so heard.

Gamelan, Orchestra a la Java

Gamelan is surely not a foreign music. Its popularity has penetrated every continent and has created a new blend of jazz-gamelan music, gave birth to the institution as a learning space and the expression of gamelan music, to produce famous gamelan musicians. Gamelan music instrument can now be enjoyed in many parts of the world, but Yogyakarta is the most appropriate place to enjoy gamelan it since you can enjoy the original version.

Gamelan developing in Yogyakarta is Javanese gamelan, a form of gamelan is different from Balinese gamelan or Sundanese gamelan. Javanese gamelan has a softer tone and slow, in contrast to the dynamic Balinese gamelan and Sundanese gamelan highly dominated lilting voice and flute. The difference is reasonable, since Java has a view of life that is expressed in the rhythm of gamelan music.

Javanese philosophy of life expressed in gamelan music is the harmony of physical and spiritual life, harmony in speaking and acting so as not to create an explosive expression and create tolerance among fellow. Real form of music is the pull string fiddle that is, a balanced blend of sound kenong, saron drums and xylophone and gong sounds on every cover of rhythm.

There is no definite history of gamelan. The development is expected since the emergence of gamelan music gong, fiddle, clapping to the mouth, the friction on a thin rope or bamboo to familiar musical instruments from metal. Further development after named gamelan, the music was used to accompany wayang performance, and dance. Later it became independent as the music itself and equipped with the voice of sinden.

A set of gamelan consist of several instruments, including a set of similar musical instrument drum called a drum, fiddle and zither, xylophone, gongs and bamboo flutes. The main components that make up the gamelan music instruments are bamboo, metal, and wood. Each instrument has its own function in gamelan music show, for example gong music played to close a long and give the balance after the previous music rhythm decorated by gising.

Javanese gamelan is music with pentatonic melodies. A complete gamelan game consists of two rounds, namely slendro and pelog. Slendro has 5 tones per octave, ie 1 2 3 5 6 [C-D E + GA] with a small interval difference. Pelog has 7 tones per octave, ie 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [C + D E-F # G # AB] with a large interval difference. Gamelan music compositions created by some rules, which consist of several rounds and pathet, bordered by one gongan and the melody was created within the unit that consists of 4 tones.

You can see gamelan as an independent music performance or a dance or performing arts such as wayang kulit and ketoprak. As a performance, gamelan music is usually combined with the sound of the Javanese singers (male singers and female singers called wiraswara called waranggana). Gamelan music performances that performance can be classical or contemporary gamelan. One form of contemporary gamelan music is jazz-gamelan music as a combination of pentatonic and diatonic.

One of the places in Yogyakarta where you can see performances of gamelan is the Sultan's Palace. On Thursday at 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. gamelan as an independent music performance. On Saturday at the same time as the accompaniment of gamelan music performed wayang kulit, while on Sunday at the same time as the accompaniment of gamelan music performed traditional Javanese dance. To see the show, you can go to Sri Maganti Ward. As for seeing the old Gamelan, you can go to another hall of the kingdom which lies further to the rear.

Wayang Kulit, Masterpiece of Java Art Performance

Night in Yogyakarta will feel alive if you miss it by looking at the shadow puppets. The dynamic rhythm of the gamelan blends with the melodious voice sinden will not let you fall in sleepiness. The story that brought the mastermind will bring you go in to be dissolved if one of the characters in the story that was delivered. You will soon realize how great of Javanese culture in the past.

Wayang kulit is performance art that has been aged for more than half a millennium. Appearance has its own story, related to the influx of Javanese Islam. One member of the Wali Songo created by adopting Wayang Beber that developed in the heyday of Hindu-Buddhist. Adoption was done because the puppet already attached to the Java so that it becomes an excellent medium for spreading propaganda of Islam, while Islam forbids visual art form. As a result, created shadow puppets where one can only see shadows.

Leather puppet show performed by a man who would be called the greatest public entertainer in the world. How not, during the night, the mastermind behind the whole character actor plays a leather puppet which represents the puppets made from buffalo leather with decorated motif carving handicraft decoration (carving the skin). He had to change the voice character, changing intonation, issued jokes and even singing. To turn the atmosphere, the puppeteer who is assisted by musicians playing the gamelan and the sinden who sing songs of Java.

Puppet characters in total amounted to hundreds. People not puppets being played is placed in banana stems that are near the mastermind. When played, the puppets will appear as shadows on the white screen in front of the puppeteer. The shadow is created because each puppet show using oil lamps as lighting that helps the puppets being played.

Each leather puppet show or play presents a different story. Variety of play is divided into 4 categories namely grip play, play carangan, play spin-off and the play yard. The play grip has a story based entirely on library puppet plays while in outline only carangan only sourced in puppet library. The play does not stem from the spin-off puppet story but wearing the appropriate places in the library of the puppet, while the play is entirely written by freelance.

Puppet story originated from some old manuscripts such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Pustaka Raja Purwa and Purwakanda. Now, there are also books containing the story and essay composition which for hundreds of years has been appreciated by the public Abhimanyu Kerem, Doraweca, Suryatmaja Burglar and so forth. Among all the old books are used, the Book Purwakanda is the most frequently used by puppeteers from the Sultan Palace. Leather puppet show begins when the puppeteer has issued mountains. An all-night wayang performance Yogyakarta style is divided into 3 rounds which has 7 lined (scene) and 7 scenes of war. First round, called pathet lasem, has 3 lined and 2 scenes of war that accompanied gising-gising pathet lasem. Pathet Sanga who became the second half has 2 lined and 2 scenes of war, while the Pathet Manura the third round has 2 lined and 3 scenes of war. One of the most anticipated part of many people at every wayang performance is because of the joke-joke presents typical Java.

Sasono Hinggil located in the northern town of South Square is the most frequent events held all-night wayang performances, usually held every second and fourth week began at 21.00 pm. Other places are Sri Maganti ward located in the Sultan's Palace. Wayang Kulit in the ward was performed for 2 hours starting at 10:00 am every Saturday

WARUNGBOTO

A beautiful ancient water gardens and designed very private Warungboto can be found in the region. Water park is located between Pesanggarahan Warungboto who now lives debris.



Pesanggrahan Warungboto and Enchantment of the 19th Century Water Garden

When passing the Veterans Road (the road that leads to the right of the intersection before Zoo Fun Loka) and found the remains of buildings such as houses, you probably will ignore it and think that the building was an ordinary building. But, from now on, you must know that the building was quite historic because it is one building that was built by Hamengkubuwono II.

Evidence that these buildings are historic buildings termuatnya name in a song about a macapat Hamengkubuwono II. In these songs, this building was not mentioned by name Pesanggrahan Warungboto as many people call it now, but with the name Pesanggrahan Rejowinangun. Overall, macapat song itself tells of the progress made during Hamengkubuwono II.

Visiting pesanggrahan for some might be boring, because there was no grandeur that can be enjoyed. But is not no tourist should visit the magnificent places? Simple places, even the rubble had lived, would have an attraction. YogYES who visited this place a few days ago can still find beauty in some corners even though many parts of the building that has been damaged.

We began exploring the building slowly from the front or directly adjacent to the highway. This front section of a square with a floor made of stucco. Being situated at the front, maybe this section serves as a hall or lobby as in many existing buildings. From the front, one can see views of the entire complex pesanggrahan.

In the left part there are stairs leading down a fairly narrow. We can immediately guess that this pesanggrahan initially consist of two floors, like other pesanggrahan consisting of ground floor and basement. To descend need to be careful, because the sides do not have a handle and a lot of parts that have been overgrown with moss so slippery.

In the basement of this, many fascinating parts of the building can be seen. The most beautiful is the garden area equipped with two ponds. The first pond was a circle 4.5 meters in diameter and its center has a water fountain or pennant source. Meanwhile, the second pond the size of a square with sides of 10 meters x 4 meters. Both ponds were interconnected, characterized by the hole of water channels that can be seen clearly from the second pond.

We really feel impressed with the architecture pesanggrahan while in this garden area. How not, the building that was built in the 1800s has been to design a garden with ponds that are private, surrounded by the buildings around it, so not visible from the outside. In addition, the walls surrounding it also looked high and thick, indicating the robustness of the building in the past.

To the north and south of the pond there is the door is wide enough plays. The door that connects with other parts of the basement. In the eastern part of the pool will be found the windows of three pieces, one square shape and the other two arch shape on the top .. While in the western part of the pool there is a curved-top door, menghgubungkan with the next two curved doors which are equipped with some stairs. Two last door connecting the garden area which is under the ground with the ground floor.

If you go back to the ground floor and explore the south side of the building, will be found some debris wall. Possibly, the wall was a barrier between spaces pesanggrahan. There is a unique part of the wall, because the surface is not smooth, may once have ornaments. One wall is still very strong at the very front of the south side. On the wall, there are several square-shaped window.

Actually, as recorded by the Department of Antiquities in 1980, still there are some decorations that can be encountered. Among a garuda statue that is on the south side, a dragon statue that is on the east side and the flower pot, which is one component of the pond. Unfortunately, YogYES not see him during a visit despite venture into every corner. Maybe you can find if you visit this place. Who knows just us who missed it?

If you want to visit, you can get through some alternative path. Most easily when you visit before or after trips to the region Kotagede. If you visited prior to Kotagede, you can pass Kusumanegara Road to reach the crossroad SGM milk factory, then turn right. Meanwhile, if the visit after the Kotagede, you live through Ngeksigondo Road to the west to the crossroad of the post fuel injection Gambiran and turn right.

Guesthouse is quite easy to reach and can be visited without the cost of a penny. One is for sure, your tour to Yogyakarta will be more complete because it can visit Pesanggrahan Warungboto who reputedly used by the Palace Ngayogyakarta to meditate and undergo behavior is concerned

PANGGUNG KRAPYAK

Stage Krapyak is building almost 250 years old known as the hunting ground of the kings of Yogyakarta Sultanate. Standing in an area formerly known as Forest Krapyak, where Panembahan Senopati son died.



Stage Krapyak, Kings Place Hunting

Once Krapyak region, which is now in the south of Yogyakarta Palace, once a dense forest. Various species of wild animals found here, one deer or in Javanese called deer. No wonder when this region was widely used as a hunting ground by the Kings of Mataram.

Who bear the title Raden Mas Jolang Hanyokrowati King, the second king of the Kingdom of Mataram Islam and son Panembahan Senopati, is one of the king who utilize Krapyak Forest as a place to hunt. In 1613, he had an accident in the hunt and eventually died here. He was buried in Kotagede and given the title Panembahan Krapyak Seda (mean king who died at Forest Krapyak).

Another king who likes to hunt in the Forest Krapyak was Prince Mangkubumi (lane I). He was the one who founded the Stage Krapyak more than 140 years after the death of King Hanyokrowati in this forest. Krapyak stage is an indication that the region's history Krapyak never be used as a hunting area. If interested, you can come with a drive to the south of the South Square, past the Plengkung Ivory and Jalan DI Panjaitan. Krapyak stage will be found after driving about 3 miles, located right in the middle of the road.

Building Stage Krapyak rectangular area of ​​17.6 mx 15 m. The walls are made of red brick covered with cement cast and arranged upward as high as 10 m. Wall sections now appear black, indicating the age of almost equal age of Yogyakarta, a quarter millennium. The building appears to be still strong, although some parts were damaged by the earthquake on 27 May 2006.

The architecture is quite unique stage. Each side of the building has a door and two windows. Doors and windows it just be a hole, without a cover. The bottom of the door and the window is square but the top curved, like the design of doors and windows in the mosque-masijd.

The building stage is divided into two floors. The first floor has 4 rooms and a short hallway that connects the door from each side. When the sun shines bright, the light will penetrate into the first floor of the building through doors and windows. The presence of sunlight to make parents feel created by the condition of the building and the air is more humid and cooler will be immediately ambushed.

If to one room in the southeast and southwest of the building and look up, you can see a hole wide enough. From the hole that the kings who wanted to hunt heading into the second floor (which is useful as a hunting ground) with the help of a wooden ladder now could not be found anymore. By looking up too, you can know that there is a roof to shade the hole that now has collapsed, may be useful to prevent water entry.

At first glance, this building illustrates the comfort obtained by the king, even when hunting. The height of buildings to make the king hunting with a sense of comfort and safety, free spy without worrying attacked by wild animals when hunting. Second floor of this place was quite comfortable, in the form of ample open space and bordered by a fence with a height being perforated.

The height of this building is causing some people suspect that the Stage Krapyak also used as a defense post. Perhaps, from this place the enemy movement from the south can be monitored so that it can provide early warning to the Sultan's Palace in case of attack. The soldiers were alternately assigned to guard in this place, as well as practicing hunting and sporting kanuragan (ability to fight).

Stage Krapyak including building situated on the imaginary axis of Yogyakarta city, connecting Mount Merapi, Tugu Jogja, Kraton Yogyakarta, Stage Krapyak and the South Seas. Axis Stage Krapyak up to the Palace described the human journey from birth to adulthood. Areas around the stage symbolizes human life while still in the womb, characterized by the village to the north of Stage Mijen Krapyak as a symbol of human seed.

Visiting Stage Krapyak, meaning visiting one of the buildings important to the Sultan's Palace.

Outlines, in the Kraton area extending 5 km to the south until Krapyak and 2 km to the north end of Monument. On this line there is a linear line dualism inverted, so that could be read symbolically philosophical. From south to north, as the birth of human beings from on high to the mortal nature, and vice versa as the return man to the side Dumadi (God in view of Java).

KOTA GEDE

Kotagede is a mute witness of the growth of Islamic Mataram Kingdom which once ruled nearly the entire island of Java. The tomb of the founder of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom, the ruins of fortress walls, and other relics can be found in Kotagede.



Kotagede, Silent Witness The establishment of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom (16th century)

In the 8th century, the territory of Mataram (now called Yogyakarta) is central to the Hindu Mataram Kingdom which controlled the whole island of Java. The kingdom was to have prosperity and civilization incredible to be able to build the ancient temples with magnificent architecture, such as the Prambanan Temple and the Temple of Borobudur. But in the 10th century, the kingdom somehow move the central administration to the East Java region. Its people in droves leaving Mataram and slowly the region back into dense forest.

Six centuries later the island of Java under the authority of the Sultanate Pajang based in Central Java. Sultan Hadiwijaya then ruling to award Alas Mentaok (base = forest) wide to Ki Gede archery for its success in conquering the enemy kingdom. Ki Gede archery along with his family and his followers then moved to Mentaok Alas, a forest which is actually a former Hindu kingdom of Mataram first.

A small village which was founded Ki Gede archery in the woods began to prosper. After Ki Gede archery died, he was succeeded by his son who holds Senapati Ingalaga. Under the wise leadership of Senapati village grew into an increasingly crowded cities and prosperous, until called Kotagede (= large city). Senapati and then build a fort in (Cepuri) that surrounds the palace and fortress outside (baluwarti) surrounding the urban area of ​​± 200 ha. Outer side of both the castle is also equipped with a wide moat like river.

Meantime, in Empire Pajang occurred seizure Hadiwijaya throne after the death of Sultan. Crown prince named Prince Benawa removed by Arya Pangiri. Prince Benawa then ask for help because the government Senapati Aryan Pangiri judged unfair and detrimental to the people Pajang. War ensued. Arya Pangiri successfully conquered his life but was pardoned by Senapati. Prince then offered the throne Pajang Benawa to Senapati but rejected by fine. A year later Prince Benawa died but he had ordered that Pajang led by Senapati. Since then Senapati became the first king of Mataram Islam Panembahan title. He did not want to wear the title of Sultan in honor of Prince Sultan Hadiwijaya and Benawa. The palace is situated in Kotagede reign.

Next Panembahan Senapati expand Islamic Mataram kingdom's territory down to the Pati, Madiun, Kediri and Pasuruan. Senapati Panembahan died in 1601 and was buried in Kotagede adjacent to the tomb of his father. Kingdom of Mataram Islam then controlled almost the entire island of Java (except Banten and Batavia) and reached peak prominence under the leadership of the king to-3, namely Sultan Agung (grandson Panembahan Senapati). In 1613, Sultan Agung move the center of the kingdom to the Karta (near Plered) and ended the era of Kotagede as a center of Islamic Mataram kingdom.
Heritage History

In subsequent developments Kotagede still crowded even though it was no longer a royal capital. The historical legacies such as the tomb of the founder of the kingdom, Kotagede mosques, traditional houses with typical Javanese architecture, township toponyms that still uses the ancient city planning, to the ruins of the fort can be found in Kotagede.

Market Kotagede

Tata Javanese royal city usually puts the palace, the plaza and market in south axis - north. Book Nagarakertagama written during the Majapahit Kingdom (14th century) mentions that this pattern has been used at the time. Traditional markets have existed since the time Panembahan Senopati still active until now. Every morning legi in Javanese calendar, seller, buyer, and the cornucopia of merchandise in this market. The building had been rehabilitated, but its position has not changed. If you want to wander in Kotagede, you can start from this market then walk southward toward the tomb, the ruins of the citadel, and the banyan brackets.
Founder of the Kingdom of the Tomb Complex

Walk 100 meters to the south of Market Kotagede, we will find the tomb complex of the founders of the Islamic Mataram kingdom surrounded by high walls and sturdy. The gate to the tomb complex is a characteristic of Hindu architecture. Each gate has a thick wooden doors and decorated with beautiful carvings. Some dressed in traditional Javanese courtiers keeping this complex 24 hours a day.

We will pass through three gates before reaching the last gate that led to building the tomb. To get into the tomb, we had to wear traditional Javanese clothes (can be rented there). Visitors are only allowed into the tomb on Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday at 8:00 to 16:00. To maintain the honor of the founder of the Mataram kingdom which was buried here, visitors are prohibited from shooting / carrying cameras and wearing gold jewelry in tomb building. Important figures are buried here include: Sultan Hadiwiijaya, Ki Gede archery, Panembahan Senopati, and his family.
Kotagede Mosque

Wandering into Kotagede would not be complete if it did not visit Kotagede Mosque, the oldest mosque in Yogyakarta, which was still in the tomb complex. After that it could not hurt to walk down a narrow alley behind the wall that surrounds the tomb complex to see the full architecture and daily life Kotagede community.
Traditional Houses

Just across the street from the front of the tomb complex, we can see a traditional Javanese house. But if want to walk 50 meters to the south, we will see a gate cavity wall with a low and placard that reads "cultural heritage". Get inside, there you will see traditional houses Kotagede still well maintained and fully functioning as a dwelling house.
Kedhaton

Walk south a little longer, you will see 3 banyan tree right in the middle of the road. In the center there is a small building that holds the "watu Bright", a square black stone surfaces are arranged in a circle inscription: ITA MOVENTUR Mundu S - AINSI VA LE MONDE - Z00 GAAT DE WERELD - IL Mondo COSI VAN. Outside the circle AD There is writing ATERN AM Memoriam INFELICS - FORTUNA IN CONSOERTES DIGNI VALETE QUIDSTPERIS INSANI VIDETE IGNARI RIDETE ET, Vos CONTEMNITE CONSTEMTU - IGM (In Glorium Maximam). I do not know what that means, maybe you can interpret it for us?

In the building there are also "watu cantheng", three balls made of straw-colored stone. Local people suspect that the "ball" that stone is a toy son Panembahan Senapati. But it is also possible that the object was actually an ancient cannon fodder.
Castle Ruins

Panembahan Senopati built forts in (Cepuri) complete with a moat around the palace, the extent of approximately 400 x 400 meters.

KEDULAN TEMPLE

Kedulan temple discovered in 1993. The discovery of this temple and two inscriptions at the site excavation invite questions about the existence of an ancient village called Pananggaran and a dam nearby.



Revealing the Puzzle of Ancient Dams in Around Temple Kedulan

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 the sand miners on 24 November 1993. Distinct pleasure will be obtained when visiting this temple, because you can enjoy the process of reconstruction of the temple which is very complicated.

The location of the excavation as deep as 7 meters will be directly met on arrival in this temple complex. Excavation site that contains the temple stones scattered in all directions and the foot of the main temple that looks still intact. In this excavation site Kedulan temple complex consisting of a main temple and 3 of chapel (companion) originally stood. Now, the foot of the main temple being tested can be boarded kekokohannya for other stones in the next step.

Surrounding the area around the excavation site, will be found the stones of the temple that was reconstructed stone by matching one with another stone. Stones that have been successfully matched are certain symbols that are written using chalk. Looks temporary construction fencing hall building of the temple, roof, temple and some other parts of the body temple. Also visible phallus and yoni who allegedly is a component that fills the temple.

Some of the ornaments that decorate the temple has its beauty can be enjoyed even though the temple itself is still under reconstruction. For example, relief under the dragon yoni which is expected to fill the main chamber of the main temple, a different figure with an ornamental dragon yoni temple in Central Java, other causes appear to have jaw. There are also reliefs of gods in some parts of the temple walls, ornate tendrils, rosette, as well as relief motif.

Done around, YogYES had talked with one of his staff named Hary. He told me how difficult it is to reconstruct the buildings that have been torn down. There are hundreds of miles to be matched to the temple could stand again, but to match them no clues at all. Because of the difficulty, a worker sometimes only able to match one another with one stone stone within a week. True, like put together a giant puzzle.

When entering the information on 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 body of the temple consists of 10 layers of stone with a height 2.4 meters, has several niche containing a statue of Ganesha (son of Lord Shiva), Agastya, Durga (the wife of Lord Shiva), Nandaka and Nandiswara (vehicle goddess Durga), and has a narrow corridor which allegedly only accessible to certain people. The roof of the temple consists of 13 layers of aggregates. From the above information can be estimated that the overall architecture similar to Sambisari.

In the room the same information, you can see the rubble rubble pottery bowl decorated and goods suspected to be used in ritual worship in this temple. In addition, there are also wood comes from trees that grow at this temple stood. Haryono told YogYES that one tree wood chips were never brought someone to be carved, but returned again because the person who took it experienced disastrous.

Some photos of other objects found during excavation can be seen in the information space. There are photos from bronze statues of gods and images and Sumudul Pananggaran inscriptions found in 2003. On the wall space, there is a picture of the soil layer where the temple stones are found, and photographs that illustrate the process of excavation that lasted for years.

On June 12, 2003, 2 pieces of inscriptions found at the excavation site. Inscriptions written in Sanskrit letters Pallawa and has been successfully read by two epigraphical from the Department of Archaeology, Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, namely Dr Riboet Darmoseotopo and Tjahjono Prasodjo MA. Numbered from the year 791 Saka (869 AD, or about 10 years after the Prambanan temple stood), the contents of the estate tax exemption at the Village Pananggaran and Parhyangan, making dams for irrigation, establishment of sacred buildings named Tiwaharyyan and the threat of condemnation for those who do not obey the rules.

Some archaeologists suspect that the inscription relating to the establishment Kedulan Temple. Tiwaharyyan shrine believed to be the Temple Kedulan itself. Village Pananggaran 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, a distance Opak ± 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 to make a trip to Temple Kedulan interesting to do. The condition of the temple which is still in the reconstruction phase would add pleasure when visiting.

GAMPINGAN TEMPLE

No data

The temple was discovered in 1995 supposed to be part of the Site Gampingan. The legs are decorated temple reliefs different animal, one bird is believed to bring messages from nirvana.



Reading the Message from Nirvana in the temple was

Not all temples have beautiful reliefs typical because generally only decorated by statues and reliefs that are common in almost all temples. One of the beautiful relief of the temple was typical that is, a temple which was accidentally discovered by a brick craftsman in Gampingan Village, Piyungan, Bantul in 1995. Despite its small size and incomplete, the temple was still rich in dazzling relief.

One of the reliefs that can be found in this temple are reliefs of animals on the foot of the temple. Animal relief in looks so natural that can be known types of animals are depicted. The temple is quite rare to have such relief, at least only Prambanan and Mendut have similar relief. All the reliefs that decorated with tendrils background, namely padmamula (lotus roots) are believed to be the source of life.

When YogYES around, looking kind of animal is a bird that dominates. There are reliefs crow that seemed to have half of a large, sturdy body, the wing inflates upward and fan-shaped tail. There are also reliefs depicted woodpecker has a crest on its head, beak, which is rather long and pointy and wings that do not expand. In addition, there is also a rooster who has breasts and wings expand downward.

Making bird reliefs in the temple in large quantities is related to community belief in transcendental power of the bird. It is believed, the bird is a manifestation of the gods as well as natural messengers of the gods or nirvana. Birds are also associated with human absolute freedom achieved after successfully left the world, the symbol of human soul separated from his body.

Relief of other animals that is often described is a frog. The community believed that frogs have supernatural powers that can bring rain, so the frog is also believed to increase productivity, because water rain will be able to increase crop yields. Frogs are often emerge from the water also symbolizes the renewal of life and resurrection to a better direction.

Until now, the relief was still leaves the question of whether a fable (story didongengkan animals in children) as in Mendut or description of the animals that deliberately to show specific intent. The question arises because the description of the animals in the temple was not found in books containing fables, such as the Jataka, Sukasaptati, Pancatantra and its derivative versions.

The temple was expected to be built between the years 730-850 AD believed to be a place for worshiping Jambhala (God of fortune, the son of Lord Shiva). It was based on the discovery Arca Jambhala when excavation. Jambhala described being in a state of meditation, his eyes closed while sitting cross-legged. The body was decorated by iconographic elements (asanas) in the form of a lotus with 8 pieces of leaves as a symbol of chakra in the human body.

Figure Jambhala in this temple is different from those in other temples. Generally, Jambhala other temples depicted with wide eyes that looked at the devotees along with a variety of decorations that symbolize prosperity and luxury. It is believed, is different depiction is based on the motivation of worship, not to invoke prosperity but guidance in order to achieve true happiness.

Visiting the temple was going to take us to remembering the path we have taken to achieve happiness and prosperity. Relief that is dominated by animals that live in the surrounding environment could be the realization of the local community's wisdom by that time in representing a message from nirvana: to live in prosperity and avoid disaster, people should maintain harmony with nature.
