Kidal Temple

I short stop on our way to the museum. Nice temple area, quiet.. I wish I'd find some more information about this temple. ...

Nice, well-maintained small temple in the kampung. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Some limited information about this history.

Candi Kidal is an ancient temple located in East Java, Indonesia. Believed to have been built during the 13th century, it is a Hindu temple that reflects the architectural style of the Majapahit Kingdom. The temple features intricate carvings and is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Candi Kidal is known for its unique blend of architectural elements, combining both Hindu and Javanese artistic styles. The temple consists of a main sanctuary, called the garbhagriha, and is surrounded by smaller structures. The carvings on the temple walls depict scenes from Hindu epics, such as the Ramayana. Despite the passage of time and weathering, Candi Kidal remains a significant historical and cultural site, attracting visitors interested in exploring Indonesia's rich heritage and ancient architectural marvels.

Good place to introduce your kids to know our heritage. Easy access. Only few parking lot. Clean and serenity. Little information about the candi. Manage your kids, please do not touch nor step on candi

This temple is a place for saving the ashes of King Anusapati from Singosari Kingdom (1227-1248) Made of andesite stone and vertical geometric dimension. There is a very interesting relief that is relief garuda that not found in other temples. Clean place and area, beautiful environment with a very well organized garden. Located on a side street with parking area, easy to reach from Malang city. An interesting historic place to visit all tourists.

Coming here is not easy as goolemaps routed thru small narrow village roads. Situated on a hilly side of Malang City. Nice start on this 13th Century Singhasari Empire temple ruin.

I think this is the most complete temple compared to other temples aroun the town. There are some reliefs in the wall telling the story of Garudeya saving his mother. The chamber inside the temple is still being used by worshippers. The temple looks well preserved but suffers from vandalism. Another uncomfortable thing is the presence of poultry farms next to the temple, making bad odor spreads into the temple's complex.

The entrance fee is free, it's nice destination for casual cycling Near that area there's warung which sell "Nasi Empok Jagung"
