Candi Pawon

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:37:44

Around 1.5km east of Borobudur, this small solitary temple is similar in design and decoration to the Mendut temple (one ticket covers both sites). It is not a stupa but resembles a Central Javanese temple, with its broad base, central body and pyramidal roof. Elaborately carved relief panels adorn its sides. Pot-bellied dwarfs pouring riches over the entrance to this temple suggest that it was dedicated to Kuvera, the Buddhist god of fortune.
