Merak temple, or locally known as Candi Merak, is a 10th-century Javanese Shivaist Hindu temple complex located in Karangnongko village, in Klaten Regency, northwest from Klaten town,[1] Central Java, on southeastern slopes of Mount Merapi.
The reconstruction project slowly conducted, and finished in 2011, although the top ratna pinnacle is still missing.
The main temple has been completely reconstructed, and the condition of bas-reliefs and statues are quite well-preserved.
Inside the main chamber there is a yoni with naga's head carved on northern side.
The shapes of ratna and the style of antefixes with deities' head is similar to those of Gebang temple in northern Yogyakarta.
