-THE ISLAND LIFE-

Candi Sukuh is a 15th-century Hindu temple located on the western slope of Mount Lawu in Central Java, Indonesia.

Constructed during the Majapahit Empire, it is believed to date to 1437 AD under the rule of King Brawijaya V or one of his successors, during a period of transition as the influence of Islam began to spread across Java. The temple’s purpose appears to have been associated with fertility rites as suggested by its numerous symbolic carvings and sculptures.

The temple has a truncated-pyramid design, which resembles Aztec structures more than the typical Javanese-style temples. It is built from andesite stone and features a main entrance flanked by gate structures, with a central courtyard that houses the pyramid and several smaller structures. The temple is adorned with carvings depicting Hindu deities, mythological scenes, and explicit fertility symbols.
