Gua Pindul

Wading across a river using is
something common, but if the river is located inside a cave, of course it will be an enjoyable yet challenging experience. Pindul is a cave that becomes part of the group of seven caves with underground river flowing
inside. It is located in a village
named Bejiharjo, Karangmojo and it offers the real sensation of adventure. For about 45 to 60
minutes, visitors will be invited to go along the river in the darkness of the bowels of the earth with 300 meters length using lifebelt. This is an activity combining body rafting and caving, and later called cave tubing.

No special preparation needed to do cave tubing in Pindul cave. We only need lifebelt, life vest, and headlamp, and those equipments have been provided by the organizer. The still water flow makes it save for everyone, not only adults but also children. The best time to do cave tubing is in the morning at about 9 or
10a.m since the water won’t be too cold. Furthermore, if the weather is clear, at that time we may see the light from heaven which is actually the sunlight from above that goes through the big hole on the top of the cave.
While enjoying the smooth wipes on the cold water on our skin in the middle of the cave with less light, the guide told a story of the name Pindul.
Based on the legend believed by the indigenous people and passed on orally from generation to the other,
the name of Pindul cave and the other caves in Bejiharjo could not be separated from the story of Joko Singlulung’s journey to find his father. After exploring the dense forests, mountains, and rivers, Joko Singlulung got into the caves in Bejiharjo. When he got into one of the cave, he bent the rock, so that
the place was named Pindul as the short form of pipi gebendul in Javanese language.
Besides telling us about the legend of the name of Pindul cave, the guide also told us about some pretty ornament that we find in the activity,
such as crystal, moonmilk,
stalactites, and stalagmites. A huge pillar formed from the join process between the stalactite and stalagmite which were thousands years old will
greet in front of us. On some parts of the top of the cave, we could see natural picture as formation of bats living there. Meanwhile, in the middle of the cave was a place resembles wide pool where visitors usually take a rest, swim, and jump from above.
When YogYES was still enjoying the beautiful ornament while listening to the sound of the baths and the water, it turned out that the cave tubing was over since we had arrived at the end of the cave. We could also see Banyumoto barrage, which was build in the Dutch colonization era, with karst as the background.

Temple Cetho (Javanese spelling: cethå) is a Hindu temple-style relics of the end of the Majapahit (15th century). The first scientific report of him was made by Van de Vlies in 1842. A.J. Bernet Kempers also do some research about it. Excavation (digging) for the purpose of reconstruction was first performed in 1928 by the Archaeological Department of the Dutch East Indies. Under the circumstances when the ruins began to study, this temple has not aged that much with Sukuh. Location of the temple is located in the hamlet of Ceto, Gumeng Village, District Jenawi, Karanganyar district, at an altitude of 1400m above sea level.
Until now, the temple complex is used by locals as a Hindu shrine and popular as a hermitage for religious believers among native Javanese / Javanese. 


Arrangement of buildings
When it was discovered the state of this temple is the stone ruins on the plains fourteen-story, extending from the west (lowest) to the east, although at present live 13 terrace, and the restoration carried out on the porch just nine. The structure having terraces make the emergence of the notion of a revival of indigenous culture ("punden staircase") at the time, which is synthesized by the Hindu religion. This suspicion is reinforced by body shape in relief like a puppet, which is similar to the depiction in Sukuh.
Restoration was undertaken by Humardani, Suharto's personal assistant, at the end of the 1970s changed many of the original structure of the temple, although the concept punden staircase will be retained. The restoration was widely criticized by archaeologists, given that the restoration of archaeological sites can not be done without a thorough study. The new building is the restoration of the magnificent gate in the front, wooden buildings of the hermitage, statues Sabdapalon, Nayagenggong, UB V, as well as the phallus, and building the cube at the top punden. 


Furthermore, Regent Karanganyar, Rina Iriani, by reason of religious passion to animate around the temple, placing statues of Goddess Saraswati, the contribution of the Gianyar Regency, in the eastern part of the temple complex.
At its present state, the temple consists of nine levels Cetho terraces. Before the gate of the temple-shaped moment, visitors find two pairs of statues guard. The first level of a page after the gate entrance of the temple. Still a second level of pages here and there petilasan Ki Ageng Krincingwesi, Dusun community Cetho ancestors.
At the third level of settings, there is a flat stone on the ground that describes the giant tortoise, solar Majapahit (presumably as a symbol of Majapahit), and a symbol of phallus (penis, male genitalia) along the 2 meter equipped with a decorative piercing (piercing) of type ampallang. Turtles are the symbol of the creation of the universe while the penis is a symbol of human creation. There are depictions of other animals, such as horseshoe crabs, frogs, and crayfish. Animal symbols that exist, can be read as a framed suryasengkala Saka year 1373, or 1451 modern era. 


At the next level of rock can be found on line that contains two adjacent terrain relief Sudhamala story excerpts, as found also in Sukuh. This story is still popular among the Java community as a basis Ruwatan ceremony. The next two cedar gazebo includes buildings that flank the entrance of the temple. Until now the gazebo-gazebo is used as a place pelangsungan religious ceremonies. Can be found on the seventh level of the two statues on the north and south. On the north side of the statue and in the south Sabdapalon Nayagenggong, two half-mythical figures (many consider the fact they are one people) are believed to be the servant and spiritual advisor to the King Brawijaya V.
At the level of the eighth there phallus statues (called "kuntobimo") on the north side and the statue of the King UB V in the form of Mahadeva. Worship of the phallus statue symbolizes gratitude and hope for the abundant fertility of the local earth. Aras last (ninth) is the highest level of climbing as a place of prayer. Here there is a cube-shaped stone building.
Temple next to the building there is a building Cetho which in the past used as a place to wash up before carrying out the rituals of worship (patirtan).

Candi Sukuh

Sukuh is a Hindu temple complex located in Karanganyar district, the former residency of Surakarta, Central Java. The temple is classified as a Hindu temple because of the discovery of the object of worship linga and yoni. The temple is classified as controversial because of its less common and because of the many objects that symbolize the phallus and yoni sexuality. Sukuh been proposed to UNESCO to be one of the World Heritage Site since 1995.
Brief history of the discovery
Sukuh temple site was first reported in the British government in Java in 1815 by Johnson, the resident of Surakarta. Johnson was then tasked by Thomas Stanford Raffles to collect data in order to write his book The History of Java. After the British government passed, in 1842, Van der Vlis, Dutch archaeologist, conducted the study. The first restoration was started in 1928. 


Temple site
Sukuh temple site is located at the foot of Mount Lawu slopes at an altitude of approximately 1186 meters above sea level at coordinates 07o37, 38 '85'' south latitude and 111o07,. 52'65'' West Longitude. The temple is located in Hamlet Berjo, Sukuh village, district Ngargoyoso, Karanganyar regency, Central Java. This temple is approximately 20 kilometers from the town of Karanganyar and 36 kilometers from Surakarta.
The structure of the temple
Sukuh the temple gives the impression of a striking simplicity to the visitors. The impression gained from this temple is quite different from those obtained from the major temples in Central Java, the other is the Borobudur and Prambanan Temple. Sukuh temple forms tend to be similar to the Maya in Mexico's cultural heritage or cultural heritage of the Incas in Peru. This structure will also remind visitors of the forms of pyramid in Egypt. 


This impression of simplicity attracted the attention of renowned Dutch archaeologist, WF Stutterheim, in 1930. He tried to explain it by giving three arguments. First, the possibility sculptor Sukuh but not a bricklayer carpenter from the village and not from the palace. Both temples made with a little less haste so neat. Third, the political situation ahead of time that the collapse of Majapahit, making it impossible to create a large and magnificent temples.
The visitors who enter the main door and enter the biggest gate will see the typical architectural form that is not arranged perpendicular but somewhat oblique, trapezoidal in shape with a roof on it.
The stones in this temple is slightly reddish in color, because the stones used is the type of andesite.
