Candi Laras, Archaeological site in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Candi Laras stands on a ridge among rice fields, featuring an ancient well and large ironwood sticks planted hundreds of years ago.

The temple complex, constructed during the 8th or 9th century, was established around 1300 AD by Jimutawahana, a descendant from the Srivijaya kingdom.

Archaeological discoveries at the site include fragments of Batara Guru statue, representing Shiva, along with Nandi statue and fertility symbols.

Visitors can reach the temple from Banjarmasin by taking a river bus to Tapin, followed by a local canoe journey for the final kilometer.

Near the Amas River basin, researchers discovered a Buddha Dipankara statue and a stone inscription with ancient Javanese text reading siddha.
