Penataran Temple, Blitar City
Penataran is the largest and most important Hindu temple complex in East
Java. It lies just 10 Kilometers north of Blitar on the lower slopes of
Mt. Kelud. It had said that this temple was dedicated to the Siva and
use for at least three hundred years, from the 12th to 15th centuries.
Most of the buildings, which can be seen today, however, were
constructed during Majapahit's golden century.
The layout of the temple is similar to that found in the Balinese Pura
today. A number of small buildings are scattered within a sacred, walled
enclosure, with the largest and most important temple at the rear of the
complex, Hindu legends, among them the Ramayana epic, are carved in
relief on the temple walls and terrace foundations.
Penataran tourism is the supporting tourism area near the Penataran
Temple. In this area, we can find swimming pools for adult and children,
