Sajiwan, Buddhist temple in Klaten, Indonesia

The stone temple measures 40 by 60 meters and features a stepped pyramid roof adorned with carved stupas and intricate animal-themed reliefs at its base.

The temple dates to 850 CE during the Sailendra dynasty period, with Queen Pramodhawardhani mentioned in the Rukam inscription of 907 CE regarding local restorations.

The temple's base contains nineteen educational reliefs depicting stories from Pancatantra and Jatakas, reflecting its role as a center for Buddhist learning.

The temple underwent extensive reconstruction work from 1996 to 2011, following damage from natural events, with renovations focusing on structural reinforcement.

Two original lotus pedestals remain in the inner chamber, which previously housed Buddhist statues before their relocation to regional preservation facilities.
