Bangkal temple, Hindu temple in Candiharjo, Indonesia
Built from gray andesite stone, Bangkal Temple features multiple ascending tiers that display traditional Javanese architectural elements from the 9th century period.
The temple stands as a remaining structure from the Majapahit Kingdom, which governed Southeast Asia between the 13th and 15th centuries from its capital in Mojokerto.
The temple walls contain detailed relief sculptures that portray Hindu mythology figures and narratives, representing the religious beliefs of ancient Javanese society.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds through cemented steps leading to a river bank, with local guides available to explain the architectural features.
The temple incorporates elements of ancestral worship practices that existed in Java before Islamic influence, visible in specific architectural details and ceremonial spaces.
