Sukuh Temple is seen in manufacturing, ie 1437 AD, is the youngest of Hindu temples in Indonesia. Built in the fall of Majapahit era driven by the Islamic armies of the Sultanate of Demak.
Majapahit kingdom based in East Java has a heritage which was still firmly stands in the Central Java region, precisely in the slopes of Mount Lawu. Interestingly, this temple is said to be the most erotic temples around the world. Why?
Travel to Temple Sukuh I travel from the Karanganyar. Lawu up to the slopes, taking the same direction with the Tawangmangu. Exact location in the District Sukuh. Quite easily find, because this temple has become the identity for the citizens Karanganyar District.
Because standing in the altitude, fresh air greeted me as soon as set foot in this Sukuh site. A temple-shaped gate punden first to greet me. A staircase leading to the wide fence held up by two coincide. I'm sure once this is the entrance to the building above it. When I go there, the fence was locked. But the interesting thing is on the floor just at the gate there is a phallus and yoni are facing. Phallus and the yoni is the representation of the genitals of men and women. Often, too, agreed as a symbol of fertility.
It's right at the entrance to this and so in fact make people often call it a taboo temples. In fact, it could be according to the Javanese culture will be a symbol-laden, and yoni phallus placement was as repellent reinforcements for those who want entry into the temple.
According to local belief, phallus and yoni in the gate used to be often used as a means to test the purity of women with stepping symbol. If he uses kebaya cloth torn means that women sanctity, but if the cloth off kebaya, the women were believed to have lost their virginity.
This gate was just an introduction to the temple that is located higher. Since the fence is closed, so I took the path up the stairs next to the gate. Stretched a terrace field enough. Turned around, it will show the panorama from a height of Karanganyar district. Lucky sunny weather at the time. Without hindrance mist that usually have fallen during the day, I could look out into the green valley and houses a la rural.
Before approaching the core of the building, scattered obelisks and reliefs that some of them also had no longer intact. According to the story, here is a ceremony that Ruwatan Hindu tradition is said to be held.
I berbegas into the core of the building and climbed to the top of the top. Narrow staircase hallway just enough for one adult body felt so cold. And on top, with flowers strewn Setaman offerings fresh. Karanganyar community is up to now there are many who believe with the flow and mystical Javanese beliefs. No wonder, this temple is still used for certain rituals.
As for the nickname erotic, but the symbolism of the phallus and yoni in the fence, also appear in relief left. But it seems to have no more. Maybe because it was too vulgar, so relief is no more. Ah too bad. It should be viewed as a culture and can tell you about the condition and the message you want to be when the temple was built. According to the friend who accompanied me to the temple Sukuh, there used to be a statue shaped man was holding his penis was erect this temple in the region. The statue was also no longer exists.
