Abang Temple

Abang Temple, Buddhist temple in Berbah, Sleman Regency, Indonesia.

Abang Temple is a square brick mound measuring 36 by 34 metres, built of red bricks (abang in Javanese) and now overgrown with grass, so from a distance it looks like a small hill. When first found it held statues and an octagonal yoni pedestal, 15 cm on a side, associated with Shiva.

Abang Temple was built around the 9th–10th centuries during the Mataram Kingdom, likely later than nearby Hindu temples. Brumund first described it in 1854, and it was recorded in 1915 as Verbeek no. 330. A short inscription found in 1932 bears the date 794 Saka (872 CE).

The name Abang comes from the Javanese word for red, after the red brick used to build the temple. The site is not an active place of worship; it is a protected cultural heritage site, designated by the Sleman regent in 2017. Visitors can see the rectangular base measuring 36 by 34 metres, now overgrown with grass.

The site lies on a hill north of Bercak village in Berbah, Sleman, about 1 km from Karongan. From the Prambanan–Piyungan public transport route, get off at Bercak and walk; by private vehicle you can drive up to the top of the hill. The mound is overgrown with grass, so wear suitable footwear.

A short inscription found here in 1932 carries a date of 794 Saka, equivalent to 872 CE. The site was first described by Brumund in 1854 and recorded in the 1915 Oudheidkundige Dienst report under number 1303 (Verbeek no. 330).
