Mendut Temple, Buddhist temple in Ngrajek, Indonesia
The square-based temple rises 26.4 meters high with stone stairs leading to chambers containing three large Buddhist statues and detailed wall carvings.
The temple construction occurred in the 9th century during King Indra's reign of the Sailendra dynasty, as confirmed by the Karangtengah inscription from 824 AD.
The main chamber houses three stone statues representing Dhyani Buddha Vairocana, Avalokitesvara, and Vajrapani, each illustrating different aspects of Buddhist teachings.
Mendut Temple opens daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with entrance fees of 20,000 rupiah for international visitors and additional parking costs.
The temple forms a straight line with Borobudur and Pawon temples, creating a traditional pilgrimage route for Buddhist ceremonies during the annual Vesak celebration.
