Liyangan Temple
is an archaeological site in the form of temples and residential areas
on the eastern slope of Mount Sundoro, precisely in the settlements of
the residents of Liyangan Hamlet, Purbasari Village, Ngadirejo District,
about 20 kilometers northwest of the city of Temanggung, Temanggung
Regency, Central Java. This site was only discovered in 2008. [1]
The first discovery was in the form of talud, yoni, statues, and temple stones. The
next discovery of a temple building that lived part of the foot and on
top of it was a unique yoni, unlike most, because this yoni has three
holes. Further research and excavation carried out
by the Yogyakarta Archaeological Center in 2010 and 2011 concluded that
the site was not a large temple but an ancient Mataram village. Based
on the description of the survey results of the Yogyakarta Archeology
Center concluded that the Liyangan Site is a site with complex
characters; indications as settlement sites, ritual sites, as well as agricultural sites.
