Candi Singosari

East Java

This temple has been proposed as the funerary temple of Singosari Kertanagara (ruled 1268 - 1292), the last king of the Singosari dynasty, whose assassination led to the establishment of Majapahit rule. The temple's unfinished state can be judged from the incomplete kala that is seen here, over the entrance. The temple faces west. Its lower level is Shaiva, but according to the Blue Guide, p. 80, the temple has a second cella, on the upper level, that was a Buddhist dedication.
