This andesite stone structure is located in Karang Besuki village, Dau subdistrict, Malang Regency, East Java Indonesia.
This inscription was written in Sanskrit using old Javanese script with chandrasengkala (chronogram): nayana vayu ras which corresponds to the year 682 Saka or 760 CE, mentioning about King Gajayana the ruler of Kanjuruhan Kingdom.
The first person to report the existence of the Badut temple was Maureen Brecher, a Dutch controller who worked in Malang.
The uniqueness of this temple is its simple base or foot part; a two-metre (6 ft 7 in) tall rectangular plain pedestal without any seams or any decoration at all.
On the outside of the wall flanking the stairs are carvings that are no longer intact, but there are still floral motifs that surround the figure of a person blowing a flute.
