Introduction and History

Kedulan is the ancient site of religious patterned Hindu conveniently Hamlet Kedulan, Tirtomartani Village , Kalasan District , Sleman , Yogyakarta Special Region . This temple was built around the 8th and 9th centuries during the time of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom .

As is the case with Sambisari Temple which is not far away, this temple is found to be located three to seven meters below ground level; most likely because it was buried by the lava of Mount Merapi, which is believed to have erupted on a large scale at the beginning of the 11th century (approximately 1006 ). Because the type of soil around the temple consists of 13 different layers, it is very likely that this temple was buried by lava in several eruptions (13 times).

Part of the main building of the Kedulan Temple was discovered on November 24, 1993 by accident by sand miners in arid land which is a crooked land in Tirtomartani Village. After inspection by SPSP Prambanan (now BPCB DIY) it was found that 85% of the original temple rocks could still be found even though they were scattered. This prompted the authorities to immediately carry out restoration (restoration).

In 2003 at the excavation site, two inscriptions were found written in Old Javanese script and Old Javanese language , which were later named the Pananggaran inscription and the Sumundul inscription, respectively . Both are dated August 15, 868. The contents of the second article are about the exemption of land tax in “Pananggaran Village” and “Parhyangan Village” for the construction of dams and irrigation as well as the construction of a sacred building called “Tigaharyyan” by the rulers of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom.. In 2015 an inscription was rediscovered, written in Old Javanese script and Old Javanese language, dated to 900 AD. The inscription, dated March 30, 900, was later called the Tlu Ron (“Three Leaves”) inscription . It contains the repair of the dam and the fief for the sacred building “Three Ron”. From this, it can be assumed that the name of this building at that time was Parhyanan i Tigaharyyan (“the sacred place in Tigadaun”, according to the Pananggaran inscription) or Parahyanan Haji i Tlu Ron (“the royal shrine in Tigadaun”, according to the Tlu Ron inscription). 

The restoration of the main temple was completed on November 1, 2019 with a budget of around 1.5 billion rupiah and was marked by the laying of the peak of the temple by the Director General of Culture of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Hilmar Farid , Sleman Regent Sri Purnomo , witnessed by the Head of BPCB DIY, Ari Setyastuti. [6] The restoration of the perwara temple was carried out in 2020.

The architecture of this temple looks similar to the style of the Sambisari Temple. The temple, which is decorated in the form of a relief of the mouth of a kala (giant) with lower fangs, was first discovered in the middle of a rice field in 1993 by sand seekers who were extracting sand for building materials. In contrast to the Sambisari temple, the main temple faces east (the stairs enter on the east side), with three perwara (guard) temples in front of it. Inside the temple building there are yoni and phallus large enough that are still intact. The south, west, and north side walls respectively have niches occupied by statues of Rsi Agastya , Lord Ganesha , and Batari Durga .

In connection with the plan to build a freeway ( Yogya-Solo Toll Road ), there were concerns that the route ( lane ) of the Lebuh Raya would have an impact on the temple complex.
