蘇墨神廟, Hindu temple in Porong, Indonesia.
Sumo Temple is a religious structure made of red bricks located in the Porong district. The building features walls oriented westward and retains sections of its original brick construction today.
The site dates to the 14th century during the Majapahit Kingdom under Raja Hayam Wuruk's rule. It was built during a period when other important religious structures were also being erected in the region.
The temple was built based on a local story about a vanished relative of Prince Brawijaya. This narrative shapes how visitors today understand and experience the place.
Accessing the temple involves climbing steep brick stairs that are uneven and require careful footing. Wearing sturdy shoes and moving slowly allows you to explore safely and take in the surroundings.
Concrete frames were installed inside the remaining walls to slow deterioration of the eastern and southern sections. This approach shows how modern conservation methods help protect this ancient structure.
