Candi Muara Takus, Buddhist temple complex in Kampar, Indonesia
The temple compound contains four main structures including Candi Sulung, Candi Bungsu, Candi Mahligai, and Candi Palangka within a 74-meter square perimeter wall.
Built between the seventh and twelfth centuries during the Srivijaya Empire period, the temple complex served as a religious center and trading post in maritime Southeast Asia.
The architectural design of the temples displays a fusion of Buddhist elements from Myanmar, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and India through its brick construction and stupa forms.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by traveling 135 kilometers from Pekanbaru city, following the main road toward Bukittinggi until reaching Muara Takus village.
The temple grounds feature unusual cremation structures with two holes, along with rectangular sand formations that indicate advanced architectural knowledge of ancient civilizations.
