Altitude of the location of the temple about 1,200 meters above sea level, if from the solo around 45km, the temple is found by archaeologists from the Netherlands is still neat and well maintained. View from the temple site is very beautiful and stunning, from this location we could see two twin mountains Merapi and Merbabu, when in fact the position of the two mountains was pretty much there in the area between the towns of Lahore jogjakarta and Magelang, Sukuh Temple is also one of the destinations, be it domestic or international.
Sukuh temples including the temple of Hindu religion, because it can still meet or see "Linga and Yoni", this temple is actually somewhat different from other Hindu temples like Prambanan temple. Sukuh temple can be said that very erotic temple or symbolize sexuality or can be said is very similar to the contents of india kamasutra book. The temple is in pugar or in the renovation of the first time by Dutch archaeologist named "Van der Vlis" in 1928, consists of three core and five relief, the shape of the temple itself is shaped like a pyramid Sukuh in Egypt or as relics of Maya in Mexico.
Three terraces had each had a meaning and purpose, only the third terrace of the temple Sukuh a rather unique and Antic, according to temple guards Sukuh, on the third terrace of the temple was once a place to test the virginity of women, visible from the aisle slightly narrower shape, according to a story used as temple guard making Sukuh temple was made to resemble (sorry) Vagina women, for whatever purpose it was obvious there. So is the turtle-shaped boulder, according to temple guards Sukuh, once the stone was a place of worship or to pray, all that is in the temple reliefs Sukuh nothing to do with sex activities such as stories kamasutra and other relief related to the story of the puppet "Five Pandavas'," Arjuna, Bhima, glass gatot the twins Nakula and Sahadeva. "
Erotic stone turtle symbolizes human life and reproduction, which means that a turtle can have a lot of eggs and good human beings like turtles, live long and bear numerous and symbolized as the god Vishnu, not only that there are some statues or stones that symbolize "masculine man", there is also relief is depicted as a woman's uterus.
I am actually a little bit awkward or embarrassed when guests drove me to the temple site Sukuh this, because it was, there is some relief image of the temple most eccentric than usual, I got to thinking that sex was the teaching of antiquity was already there and not only because of lust mere relief at the temple Sukuh teach what is good and what is not. For example the three terrace shaped narrow aisle, the stone turtle and the relief of a male and female, sorry it's there and not the result of engineering photoshop, still do not believe it.?? Sukuh come to the temple, there are actually more like a temple Sukuh temple, the temple Cheto.
