Kidal Temple
Candi Kidal
A slender 13th-century temple of the Singhasari kingdom, famous for its relief of Garuda rescuing his mother.
Kidal Temple was built around 1248 as a memorial temple for Singhasari king Anusapati. Its tall, slender body has elegant proportions, and the base carries reliefs on three sides depicting the story of Garuda rescuing his mother. Garuda later became one of the inspirations for the Indonesian national emblem. The temple lies about 20 km southeast of Malang. It is small, so it can be visited on the same trip as Jago Temple. Admission is by donation.
