Luhur Poten Temple Of Mount Bromo

The Luhur Poten Temple stands on a sand plain near Mount Bromo, featuring traditional stone buildings arranged in a mandala zone composition.

The temple dates back to the 15th century and maintains strong connections to the Majapahit Empire through its Tenggerese community inhabitants.

During the annual Yadnya Kasada ceremony, which extends for a month, local Tenggerese people gather at the temple to perform religious rituals.

Visitors can reach the temple from Cemoro Lawang town by either taking guided jeep tours or following hiking trails through the volcanic terrain.

The temple structure incorporates black stones from volcanic activity instead of the red bricks commonly used in other Indonesian temples.
