Badut Temple
Candi Badut
One of the oldest Hindu temples in East Java, built around the 8th century, located on the western outskirts of Malang.

The main shrine is built of andesite and contains a lingam-yoni; its outer walls retain fine relief carvings, and there are foundations of smaller shrines nearby. It is small in scale but of high historical value, and the setting is quiet. Admission is by donation. It is about 5 km from the city center and can be combined with city attractions for a half-day trip.
