Candi
Sawentar |
Located at Garum, to the east of Blitar,
Candi Sawentar shows similarities in form to Candi Kidal. A tentative date of around the
early to mid 1 3th century has consequently been assigned to it. The base of the temple
lies several metres below the present ground level, a result of having been buried under a
mass of lava, presumably from an eruption of nearby Mt Kelud. The site was excavated
during the early years of this century.
A small yoni pedestal lying within the temple's central chamber depicts a figure of
Garuda, suggesting that the monument was dedicated to the god Wishnu. |
