Candi Belahan, Hindu temple in Gempol, Indonesia.

The red brick temple features a sacred pond with a depth of 30 centimeters and intricate carvings depicting Hindu deities on its walls.

King Airlangga commissioned the construction of this temple in 1009 CE during the Kahuripan Kingdom as part of a network of royal monuments.

The temple displays stone carvings of goddesses Lakshmi and Sri, reflecting the strong Hindu influences in ancient Javanese architecture and religious practices.

The temple remains open to visitors throughout the year, with increased attendance during significant dates in the Javanese calendar like Thursday nights before Friday Legi.

Water flows from carved figures at the temple, leading to its alternative name Candi Sumber Tetek, referencing the belief in water emerging from goddess Lakshmi.
