Sari Temple, Buddhist temple in Sleman, Indonesia
Sari Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary in Sleman featuring a rectangular structure with three interior chambers. These rooms are connected by doorways along a north-south axis and include window openings with recesses for wooden bars.
This sanctuary was built in 778 CE during the reign of Maharaja Tejapurnapana Panangkaran, as recorded in the Kalasan inscription. The construction reflects a period when Buddhist temples were actively established across the region.
The temple functioned as a Buddhist monastery where monks gathered for meditation and religious practices. The separate chambers reveal how followers organized their spiritual life within the building.
The sanctuary features multiple window openings arranged in two horizontal rows, offering views into the interior layout. Visitors can best examine the architectural details and chamber structure in good daylight conditions.
The outer walls display 36 intricately carved Buddhist deity figures arranged in four distinct rows. Traces of protective plaster coating remain visible on sections of the structure today.
