Ngawen, Buddhist temple in Magelang, Indonesia
The temple complex contains five structures arranged in a row from north to south, with the second temple being the most complete.
The temple's construction began during the Syailendra dynasty in the 8th century, as documented in the Karang Tengah inscription from 824 CE.
The temple walls display intricate carvings of Buddhist deities, including Kinara-Kinari entertainers and Kalamakara, the God of Time.
Located 5 kilometers southeast of Borobudur temple, Candi Ngawen offers free admission and maintains a literature corner with Indonesian cultural books.
Unlike most Buddhist temples that face west, all five structures of Candi Ngawen face east, with lion statues positioned at their corners.
