CANDI KADISOKA

Kadisoka Temple is a temple that has been excavated in part, considered as ancient Hindu sites, in Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This temple is listed as a Cultural Heritage Indonesia.Kadikusumo, measuring 6.49 meters by 6.9 meters is located on a plot of land 200 square meters. The soil is planted with several plant species, such as waru and puring. [1] This temple is located in Kadisoka Hamlet, Kalasan, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, part of Kewu Plain. This temple is surrounded by farm fields, with Yellow River flowing 100 meters to the east. The temple is located about 8 kilometers to the north of Sambisari Temple and located at an altitude of 150 meters. This temple is made of andesite stone, the stone is in good condition, with little growth of microbes. Architectural style is considered quite similar to many other temples found in the Plains of Kewu, based on the basic form of a bell and a semicircle. This temple is oriented towards the west, although it missed about 10 degrees. Kadisoka is managed by two people, in charge of cleaning sites, reporting damage, and receiving visitors (be it tourists or pilgrims). Access to the site is rather limited due to the dirt road, which becomes muddy during the rainy season, Kadisoka is estimated to be built around the 8th century. According to Véronique DeGroot, this temple was not completed; He wrote that only about five basic layers of the temple were completed. The temple was buried by lava flowing from the Yellow River at two separate times, estimated at least a century apart. This temple was finally found buried as deep as 3 meters in the ground. The temple at Kadisoka is commonly identified as the Hindu temple of Nusantara, based on the garbagriha (cervical) main layout: at its center, archaeologists have found a hole, a feature expected to be found only in Hindu temples. This temple was rediscovered by a sand miner on December 7, 2000 and reported to the Archaeological Heritage Preservation Hall. After a preliminary examination looked promising, in February 2001 the excavation began; and soon found the entire foundation east of the temple and the temple hole. In the hole the excavator found some precious stones, gold, and a box containing a gold plaque carved with lotus flowers. In 2010 most of the temples are still buried.
