Candi Bima

Central Java


Proudly sitting atop its own processional staircase, Candi Bima is unique in Java, with kudu (sculpted heads) peering from each alcove of this elaborately carved temple. It lies around halfway along a walking tour of the central plateau, and sits at the junction with Kawah Sikidang.
