Candi Dawangsari, Hindu-Buddhist temple in Sambirejo, Indonesia

Candi Dawangsari is a Hindu-Buddhist temple site in Dawangsari hamlet, Sambirejo, Prambanan, Sleman, north of Candi Barong. Its ruins include several stupas, a Buddhist marker, and a Ganesha statue, a Hindu object, found together when the site was first discovered.

Candi Dawangsari is estimated to have been built in the 9th century, during the Mataram Kuno kingdom. When first found, its ruins held several stupas, a Buddhist marker, and a Ganesha statue, a Hindu object of worship.

The temple blends Hindu and Buddhist traditions, as shown by the stupas and Ganesha statue still visible among the ruins. This fusion reflects the spiritual practices that shaped the region over many centuries.

The site sits in a rural setting and is best explored on ground level where visitors can view the ruins from different angles. Wear comfortable shoes and plan for sun exposure if spending extended time here.

The ruins yielded both stupas, a Buddhist marker, and a Ganesha statue, a Hindu one, so the site was used by two faiths. It lies just north of Candi Barong in Dawangsari hamlet, Sambirejo, Prambanan, Sleman, Yogyakarta.
