Candi Surawana (Badas Sub District)

Indonesia / Jawa Timur / Pare / Badas Sub District
 temple, hindu temple
Located in the district of Pare, Kediri, Candi Surawana and Tigowangi both date from the end of the 14th century. Surawana, which may not have been completed until A.D. 1400, was built as a memorial to Bhre Wengker of the Rajasa Dynasty, who died in A.D. 1388. The original name of the shrine was Wishnubhawanapura. Today, only the base of the building remains intact. Fine relief carving depicts scenes from a number of popular stories, including those of Sri Tanjung, Bubuksah and Gagang Akhing, and the Arjunawiwaha. Surrounding the foot of the monument are a series of relief panels, the contents of which are comical, though somewhat obscene.
