Candi Selogriyo, Hindu temple on Mount Sumbing slopes, Magelang, Indonesia

Candi Selogriyo is a 9th-century Hindu temple facing east on the eastern slope of three hills—Condong, Giyanti and Malang—at 740 metres above sea level. Its walls have five niches holding statues of Durga Mahisasuramardini (north), Ganesha (west), Agastya (south), Nandiswara and Mahakala (east). The tower is crowned by an amalaka shaped like a keben fruit.

The temple was built in the 9th century under the Ancient Mataram Kingdom, following the Hindu building style of that era. A major landslide in 1998 caused severe damage, and the site was rebuilt in 2005.

The temple holds five deity statues placed on its outer walls, including Durga Mahisasuramardini on the north side and Ganesha on the west side. These figures come from the Hindu tradition and still draw visitors who stop to look at them in silence.

Reaching the temple requires a moderate uphill walk through rice fields, starting from Bandongan and passing through Windusari District, with signs along the way to help with directions. Sturdy shoes and enough water are a good idea, as the path gets steep in places.

The top of the temple tower features an amalaka ornament shaped like a keben fruit, which is rarely seen on Javanese temples from this period. This single detail makes the building stand out from other structures built around the same time.
