Candi Cetho

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). Near the building of the temple, with a steep slope down, found again a temple complex that the community referred to as the Temple Kethek ("Monkey Temple").
