 It took 21 of Arranging Sambisari
Nothing strange feeling Karyowinangun descend on a morning in 1966. But a rare event experienced in the field at the time, when you're swinging the spade into the ground. Hoe who swung to the ground hitting a large rock that once seen as having carved on its surface. Karyowinangun and people around were surprised by the presence of chunks of rock.
Department aware of any archaeological findings come too soon and then set the area as a sanctuary of ancient Karyowinangun field. Carved stone, found it supposed to be part of the temple that may be buried under paddy fields. Excavation was then executed to find hundreds of other boulders and ancient statues. And indeed, the stones were indeed is a component of a temple.
Lapse of 21 years later, finally able to enjoy the beauty of the temple. The temple building was named Sambisari Sambisari stands majestically in the hamlet, village Purwomartani, Kalasan District, Sleman, 10 kilometers from the city center. You can reach by driving through the cross streets of Yogya-Solo to find signposts towards this temple. Next, you just turn left following the line.
YogYES was surprised when it arrived at the temple area. When direct views into the middle area of the temple, just a roof that looks like stone structure plays only a few feet above the ground. YogYES wondering, what's really Sambisari just that small? After the close, then we get the answer. Apparently, Sambisari temple is 6.5 meters lower than the surrounding region.
Sambisari could have been built between the years 812-838 AD, probably during the reign of Rakai Garung. Temple complex consists of 1 main temple and 3 supporting temples. There are 2 fences surrounding the temple complex, a fence has been completely refurbished, while one other fence revealed only slightly to the east of the temple. Still as a barrier, there are 8 pieces scattered phallus stakes in each direction of the wind.
Main temple building is unique because it does not have a mat like other temples in Java. The foot of the temple also functions as a base so that parallel to the ground. The foot part of the temple left plain, without reliefs or decorations. Various decoration Simbar most of which are found on the body to the top of the temple exterior. The ornaments glance like batik motifs.
Stepping up the stairs of the entrance of the main temple, you can see an ornament of a lion in the open mouth of makara (the magical animal in Hindu mythology) are dropped. The figure of makara in Sambisari is an evolution of the makara form in India that can be a blend of elephant with a fish or a crocodile with a curved tail.
1 meter wide corridor will be found after passing the last stair of the main temple entrance. Passing through this, you will see three niches, each of which contains a statue. On the north side, there is a statue of Goddess Durga (the wife of Lord Shiva) with 8 hands each holding a weapon. While on the eastern side there are statues of Ganesha (son of Goddess Durga). On the south side, there is a statue of Agastya with aksamala (prayer beads) are worn around the neck.
Entering the primary compartment of the temple, can be seen phallus and the yoni is large enough, approximately 1.5 meters. Its existence shows that this temple was built as a place to worship Lord Shiva. Phallus and yoni in the main temple room is also used to make holy water. Typically, water diguyurkan the phallus and allowed to flow through a small ditch on the yoni, then housed in a container.
Exit from the main temple and heading west, you can see the third chapel (companion) is facing the opposite direction. There are allegations that the chapel was intentionally built without a roof because when the excavation was found in the stones of the roof. Section in the middle of chapel has a square pedestal decorated with dragon and Padmasana (lotus flower) spherical convex on it. Possibly, Padmasana and mat used as a statue or offerings.
When you are satisfied with enjoying the beauty of the temple, you can go into space information. Some of the photographs that illustrate the environmental field Karyowinangun before the excavation and initial conditions of the temple when the discovery. There are also photographs of the excavation and reconstruction of the temple that lasted for tens of years, including pictures of other objects found during excavation, bronze statues that are kept at the Institute for Preservation of Archaeological Heritage.
The beauty of the temple Sambisari now we can enjoy is the result of the hard work of archaeologists for 21 years. The temple that initially looked like a giant puzzle, piece by piece was reconstructed for the sake of sustainability is one more great cultural heritage of the past
