Candi Merak is a whimsically named temple in a remote part of Yogyakarta province. The name translates as Peacock Temple, apparently based on the legend that a peacock used to roost amongst the ruins. These days it's been restored to its former glory as a Hindu temple. It boosts two especially lovely statues, one of the elephant-headed god Ganesha, another of Durga in the guise of the buffalo slayer.
Serenity and the temple still in a good condition. Too bad its sunday and the temple is under maintenance.
Merak Temple or Candi Merak is located at Karangnongko at Klaten city. It is an Hindu temple thas was built on 10 AD by the ancient of kingdom Mataram Hindu era. The main temple has at least 4 statues such as Shiva and Ganesha, named of some gods in Hindus. Today this area has been developed with very nice and well mantained garden. There are several small temple surrounding the main tample is in the progress of reconstruction. The temple is located at the residential area and there is no parking lot. Visitor can park the car on the road nearby the temple's gate.
Not many people know the beauty of this temple, probably because this temple is located in the middle of a fairly quiet settlement. It is still clear in my memory when I was a kid often visited here. At that time Merak Temple is in a broken condition and has not been restored as we know it today. But now the conditions are much different, the area of Merak Temple is arranged very neat and kept clean. Love this place.
Very beautiful temple, good maintenance, very nice environment and society, there is no nearby parking area, but you can park your motorcycle at people's garden near that place, if you drive you can park your car at a field not so far from the temple, there's no rest area but some people sell snacks and drinks in their little shop (house)
Minus the parking space, everything is good. Peaceful. Good for meditation.
Good place to chill out
