Kedulan Temple, Hindu temple in Sleman, Indonesia.

The temple complex consists of a central shrine and three smaller structures arranged in a square formation at an elevation of 6 meters underground.

Discovered in 2009 during construction work at Universitas Islam Indonesia, this 9th-century temple remained buried under Mount Merapi volcanic deposits for a millennium.

The temple exhibits Hindu Shaivite architectural elements, containing statues of deities including Ganesha, Nandi, and Lingam-Yoni within its stone chambers.

The archaeological site maintains restricted access with protective fencing, requiring visitors to register at the north entrance security checkpoint.

The temple received the Sanskrit name Pustakasala, meaning library, due to its discovery during the construction of a university library building.
