From the size, Candi Telih is small. It is about two meters high and the building's width is around 2.5 meters. The temple has two parts, the main part is the temple building which is located on a stretch of land with a higher position, while the second part is a pile of stones in the lower land which is about four meters away. The temple at the bottom has a height of about 1.5 meters and a width of 1.25 meters. According to the Juru Kunci Candi Telih, the initial discovery of this temple occurred in the 60's when there was Gestapu (G30S PKI). When it was found the condition was very sad because some of the temples were destroyed because of the surrounding weather or were hit by trees. Because of that the father then arranged until his condition was neater like this.
If seen from the position of Candi Telih overlooking Mount Arjuno, the existence of this temple can be identified as a place of retreat that can be a place of storage and worship of the spirits of the ancestors because the spiritual orientation of spirits is at the peak of Arjuno. This reason is because in the megalithic rite there is a concept in the Hyang, namely the worship of ancestral spirits. In this case the peak of Arjuno is considered a sacred mountain.Send feedback
