Pawon Temple, Buddhist temple in Wanurejo, Indonesia
Pawon Temple features square architecture with carved Kala-Makara decorations on its stairs and gates, plus five small stupas on the roof section.
The Syailendra Dynasty constructed this temple during the 9th century, positioning it between Borobudur and Mendut temples in a straight alignment.
Indonesian Buddhists conduct annual Waisak processions through Pawon Temple during full moons in May or June, connecting Mendut to Borobudur temples.
The temple stands 1.75 kilometers southwest of Borobudur and 1.15 kilometers northeast of Mendut, making it accessible for combined temple visits.
The temple walls display intricate reliefs of bodhisattvas, taras, and Kalpataru trees, with figures of Kinnara and Kinnari carved into stone surfaces.
