Singosari Temple in East Java

Singosari Temple is located in Desa Candirenggo, Kecamatan Singosari, Kabupaten Malang. Found at around beginning of century 18 (at the year 1800-1850) with giving of called Menara Temple by Dutchman. Possibly giving of this name caused its form looking like tower. Have time to also called Cella Temple by ancient expert of nation of Europe with guidance existence of four fruit of gap at the wall part of the body. Also according to report from W. Van Schmid visiting this temple in the year 1856, local resident names Cungkup Temple. Finally name that is until now is used is Singosari Temple because the situation in Singosari, there is some people calls it with Renggo Temple because the situation is in Desa Candirenggo.

According to report written from the visitors Singosari Temple from the year 1803 to 1939, told that Singosari Temple is wide temple complex. In the complex is got by seven fruit of temple building which has collapsed and many statue to scatter in every where. One of seven temples which can be saving from annihilate is temple that is now we call Singosari Temple. As for the statue a lot is brought to Dutch, while the statues which now stays yard by present Singosari Temple, comes from annihilate have been temples of that.

Form of building Singosari Temple can be spelled out members special, because the temple impressing has two levels. Ought to temple rooms stays at temple organ, at Singosari Temple exactly there is at temple foot/feet. The rooms initially also there is statue in it is namely north inside contained Durgamahisasuramardhini statue, eastside contains Ganesha statue and part of south there is Resi Guru Statue which famous is ordinary with the title Resi Agastya. But is the existing only remains Resi Agastya Statue only, while other the statue has been brought to Leidan - Dutch. Reason of why the statue scrip certificate Agastya is not swept along to Dutch is possible because of the tritiatht condition enough hard, so that improper brought as present to country power the Dutch at that moment.

Interesting something else to be observed at this Singosari Temple is decoration of temple. Generally temple building is decorated with plane decoration at from head to foot or part of temple. At the Singosari Temple, we don't get such a thing. Decoration of Singosari Temple is not entirely is finalized. Thereby inferential that unfinished former Singosari Temple is done but then is leaved. Causes is leaved the attributed to with existence of war, that is attack from king Jayakatwang from empire of bangles to Raja Kertanegara empire of Singasari happened at around year of 1292. Jayakatwang king attack can break empire Singhasari. King Kertanegara along with its(the follower murdered. Anticipated by a period of ruination empire of Singasari that is, hence Singosari Temple is not finalized and finally unfinished.

In uncompleted this useful temple building also for us which wish to know making technique decoration of the temple. Seen that the decoration is done from the top of downwards. Upper is done finely, part of temple body (middle) partly completed while undersides at all has not been finalized. Yard Singosari Temple still there are some the statue is remaining, some between it was body the angel though can be spelled out members not fully again. Even there are one Dewi Parwati statue having part of head which seen "odd". likely the part is not leading the statue which actually. Because head the statue which actually is anticipated break and is not found again.

Pays a visit to this Singosari Temple hold guide-book tour is telling a story about history of Singosari temple, have time to generate sorrow is my heart. How not, some part of the page is shown to explains photographs the statue which has been brought to Dutch country, complete along with explanation of position along with attribute worn by figure statue. The photographs indicates that is they (colonist) brings their country, of course is the statue which still be fully with level of art which able to be prided upon. a thing which able to be spelled out members "robbery" by nation of Dutch to the art of Indonesian nation.
