Jago Temple
Candi Jago
A stepped temple from the Singhasari kingdom, its outer walls covered in relief carvings of stories from the Mahabharata and other tales.
Jago Temple lies in Tumpang, about 22 km east of Malang. It was built to honor Singhasari king Wisnuwardhana and later expanded during the Majapahit period. The outer walls of its three-tiered stepped base are covered in relief carvings of Buddhist and Hindu stories, with figures resembling wayang kulit puppet characters. It is an important site for the study of East Javanese art. Tumpang is also the starting point for jeep trips to Bromo and Semeru, so it is easy to visit on the way.
