Surawana, Hindu temple in Canggu village near Pare, Indonesia

The temple stands 4.6 meters high with a 7.8-square-meter base, featuring narrative reliefs on its walls depicting various religious and traditional stories.

Built in 1390 as a memorial to Wijayarajasa, Prince of Wengker, the temple received its official completion during a sraddha ceremony in 1400.

The temple walls display the Arjunawiwaha tale, composed by poet Mpu Kanwa in 1035, representing themes of warfare, morality, and divine intervention.

Located 28 kilometers from central Kediri, visitors can reach the temple site by private vehicle or public transportation through the Pare district.

The temple structure organizes its relief narratives by direction, with religious themes on the east side and storytelling panels on the west side.
