    Candi Badut or Badut Temple is located in the middle of a residential area of Karang

    Besuki village, District of Dau in Malang. It is just 10 meters from the small main street of that
    area. I didn’t expect it but it just makes this temple unique.
    Temple is called candi in Indonesian. Badut means clown. Why this temple named badut?
    There are 3 possible reasons about this name :

     At the area of the temple there were a lots of badut tree. It looks like a jackfruit tree. So it
    is called Badut temple.
     It refers to a name of the king of a kingdom which men say, had built this temple. The
    name is Liswa. In Old Javanese it means clown.
     The word Badut comes from Sanskrit, “Bha-dyut”. “Bha” means star Agastya and “Dyut”
    means ray. So Badut means the ray of star Agastya.

    Candi Badut stands on an area of 2,808m2 and 508 meters above the sea level. The area is
    surrounded by mountains. At the east there is Semeru Mountain, at the west, Arjuna Mountain, at
    the north, Tengger Mountain and at the south, Kawi Mountain. Like you see at the picture shown
    here, the temple has a big garden around. I can imagine how beautiful this place was.

    E.W.Maureen Brechter, a Dutch inspector, has found this temple in 1921. It was
    destroyed, covered with trees and ground. Then this temple is restored in 1925-1926 under the
    leader of De Haan, the Head of Archeology in Dutch Indie time. The last restoration was done in
    1991-1992 by Indonesian government.

    This temple consists of foot, body, and roof. When people found it, they just could see
    the foot parts. They collect the stones based on its sort and size. Then they tried to build the
    body. The foot and body were rebuilt but the roof cannot be found. Inside the temple there are
    Yoni and Lingga. Lingga is a symbol of men genitals and Yoni is a symbol of women's. There
    are also other meanings about Lingga and Yoni. Lingga is the symbol of god Shiva the creator
    and the Yoni is his wife Parvati. Lingga is the father (god) and Yoni is the mother (universe). For
    Hindu followers these symbols and the place are holy. Lingga and Yoni are a characteristic of a
    Hindu Temple.
    They also found the foundation of the wall around the temple. Here you can see the rest
    of the stones of the wall.

    Although there are many parts are missing, this temple is still used by Hindu followers
    who come to pray on Galungan Day. This is a Balinese holiday that occurs every 210 days and
    lasts for 10 days. During this holiday the Balinese gods visit the earth.

    This historical witness has something to do with Dinoyo inscription. According to the
    inscription Candi Badut is dated from November 28th, 760M. It means it is the eldest temple in
    East Java. So a 1,250 years old temple in East Java is located in a crowded residential area.

    Address: Jl. Candi no. 5 - Malang


    Accessibility: take the blue mini bus with the letters "AT" in front of Kampong Tourist. Get off
    at the Tidar bus station. Then it is about 150 meters walking.
    Entrance fee: you can make a donation when you register yourself as a visitor

    How to get there


    Candi Badut is not obvious from the road, tucked down an alley behind some buildings off Jalan
    Candi 5D—you may need to ask around. Angkots marked “AT” that run between Arjosari
    Terminal and the small angkot subterminal Tidar pass nearby (5,000 rupiah). If coming directly
    from the city, a Go-Jek ride from the city centre will set you back around 10,000 rupiah,
    alternately visit as part of a temple day tour. We hired an ojek with an English speaking guide for
    250,000 rupiah for the full day from Bromo Holiday in Malang
