Kimpulan

Parts of the temple have been excavated to reveal square andesite stone walls and statues of Ganesha, Nandi, and Lingam-Yoni.

So far, the temple clearly shows it is of Hindu Shaivite nature, and the style of carving and statues strongly suggests construction took place sometime around the 9th to 10th century, during Mataram Kingdom period.

It has been postulated that Candi Kimpulan was a part of a network of temples in an area between Borobudur and Prambanan closely linked to wet-rice cultivation.

Unlike common Central Java Hindu temples, the stone main structure and towering roof are absent.

The body, column, and roof of the temple probably were made from wood or some organic material that has decayed over time and left no traces.

The Pustakasala Hindu temple excavation site in 2010, nearby is the Indonesia Islamic University Ulil Albab Mosque.
