Singosari Temple - Historical of District Malang


Singosari Temple, also known as the Temple Kendedes, founded in honor of King Kertanegara, the last king of the dynasty Singosari who died in 1292 AD. It was founded in 1300 AD at the same time when the ritual Sradha happen. Around the temple there are two giant statues called Dwarapala, which is believed to guard the entrance to the palace.

This temple has kept the story of history that is always remembered by the public Malang. However, Singosari Temple is a symbol of the existence of Malang Regency of years ago. Singosari Temple is a Hindu temple - Buddhist kingdom Singhasari historic relics located in the Village Candirenggo, Singosari district, Malang regency, East Java, Indonesia.

As the other East Javanese temples, Temple Singosari formed of red brick and stone building set in a cone, called a temple. This temple also has beautiful reliefs depicting the great kingdom of Singosari years ago.
Ways of making this temple with the system Singosari andhesit piling stones up to a certain height then forwarded to the carving of the new top down. (It is not like building a house as it is today). This temple is located in the Village Candirenggo, District Singosari, Malang regency, (about 10km from the city of Malang) lies in the valley between the Tengger Mountains and Mount Arjuna at an altitude of 512 m above sea level.
In this age of Hindu Indonesia Malang and surrounding area is a bustling area that the file is still visible everywhere today. Many of the remaining buildings built under the influence of religious affiliation at the time such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Buddha and Shiva mixture of elements.

Building Description

Singosari temple is square-shaped building made of stone. The building is facing west. The whole temple consists of the bottom or shelf levels as high as 2 meters, feet high, slender body, and a pyramid-shaped roof.
Foot

At the foot of the temple there is a chamber containing a yoni (symbol of femininity) are usually found in the temple. It is a privilege because it generally has a temple leg room. Other booths that we can enter through the hallway on the shelf and the first round with a statue of Durga (north), Ganesha (east) and Shiva Guru (south). Except Master statues, other statues are not in place. In the middle chamber is also the merits, there is a line under the floor of the booth. Maybe once used to drain the wash water to a shower linggayoni (now gone, but the scar is still clearly visible). 
In the upper chamber of the temple, and in the upper recesses of the headdress are Kala. In the meantime on the left side of the building which the viewer is in front (west) there are niches where statues Nandiswara and Mahakala.
Body
The temple has no room for the temple chambers contained in the base of the temple. On the outside of the temple built niches in which it is not empty. Niches are not visible as it is covered by the peaks of the fourth appearance. Is the recesses of the former statue, is not clearly known.
Roof
The roof of the temple is only partially live. Contrary to the other then on the roof has been completed on the chisel with a delicate decoration, while the bottom is plain. This suggests possible ways to decorate the temple started from the top. The fact is we often encounter as well as at other temples, such as Sawentar Temple near Blitar. Singosari Temple does not stand alone. Around the yard of the temple there were many statues. Judging from the number and nature of the statues found there, it can be possible once there are at least five sacred buildings, some of which are Shiva and some are Buddhist. Also from the field enshrinement found an inscription dates to 1351 AD which mentions the establishment of a shrine to Shiva and Buddha patients who died with Kertanegara. From this description it can be concluded that the temple is a mixture Singosari Shiva-Buddha. This is not surprising given the religion professed by Kertanegara is a mixture of Shiva and Buddha, patterned Tantra. Brangkali the building, among others, contains a statue of Brahma and several small statues found on the field enshrinement.
Not far to the west, in the square, there are two huge statues of guards. The giant statues could not be moved because of heavy and certainly stood still at the original place, as keeping the entrance to a very wide enshrinement behind. Height 3.70 m and one of them buried up to its center. These statues have a snake wrapped around the rope in its material, while the head adorned with a diadem snake with a skull.
Historical Background
Developments Singosari Temple can be connected with the king of the Kingdom Singosari Kertanegara. The building was probably founded as time sraddha ceremony (a ceremony to commemorate 12 years after King's death) or the year 1304 AD, the reign of Raden Wijaya, the king of Majapahit I. Kakawin Nagarakertagama Prapanca essay, Canto XLII-XLIII, mentions that the king is a king Kertanegara unequaled among the kings in the past. He mastered all kinds of knowledge such as Sadguna (administrative sciences) Tatwopadeso (the science of nature), law-abiding, steadfast in carrying out the provisions relating to religious worship of Jina (apageh ing jinabrata), persevere in running prayogakrya (rites tantra). It added that the king was far from neglectful and arrogant behavior, tawakal and wise, embraced Buddhism.
Kertanegara was the last king. Singosari kingdom who reigned from 1268-1292 AD He was the son Wisnuwardhana. Since the year 1254 AD has been crowned as Yuwaraja (Viceroy). Usually the young king was before replacing the all-powerful king who was given the position as the king in an area / region. During his reign is considered to have insulted the Emperor Mongol Khan Kubhilai because besides it would not submit, he has to face his envoy melukasi namely Meng-chi, so Khubilai Khan decided to demolish Java as a punishment for the actions of these Kertanegara. The attack was carried out in 1292 AD led by three warlords of Shih-Pi, Iheh-Mi-Hsing Shih and You. Meanwhile, in their own country facing an insurgency led Kertanegara Jayakatwang, Kertanegara subordinate king. Kertanegara fall and dicandikan in Singosari.
Restoration
In 1934 the state Singosari Temple has been destroyed, so the Dutch East Indies government made efforts to save him with up to baturnya dismantle, then rebuild the layer by layer. The rebuilding of entirely impossible, because many of the original materials are missing, especially from the tops of the side chambers.
