About Gunung Sari Temple


One of the temples that became the target of blusukan in early 2009 was a temple which according to the story is not far from Mount Wukir Temple. The location of the temple at that time was quite difficult for me to find, it's different now that there is a nameplate for this temple on the side of the road. Actually this temple is very easy to reach from the jogja-magelang highway but because at that time the minimal information made the trip full of stray events and questions here and there.

Location:


Dsn. Gunung Sari, Ds.Gulon, Kec. Salam, Kab. Magelang.



Routes:

  • From Magelang or from Jogja after arriving at digulon, to be exact, after the white time, from hopefully you will see the nameplate of the Gunung Sari temple on the side of the road. A little forward from the nameplate is a T-junction. Turn to the T-junction.
  • After about 2 km you will find a T-junction. Turn and follow the road and you have entered the hamlet of Gunung Sari.
  • Continue walking into the village until you come to the bottom of a hill. Park the vehicle at the local residents and go up the hill. Gunung Sari temple is on the hill.


After arriving at the temple location, I was very happy, meaning that the blusukan struggle was not in vain. After entrusting the motorbike to the residents around me, I started climbing the hill to get to the temple. To get to the temple, we have to go up through a fairly high path.



 The first incline is a staircase that leads to a local village tomb. After that the journey continues by passing a dirt path through the forest. Arriving at the temple, I was greeted by the temple attendant, Mr. Petrus and several BP3 officers who were cleaning the temple site at that time. From him I can know a little about the history of this temple.



History:


According to Mr. Peter this temple was discovered accidentally in 1998. At that time from one of the TV stations will set up a transmitter at this place. From the research results, it turns out that the location of this temple is the location of the strongest signal. Finally, excavation was held for the site to make the foundation for the transmitter. During the excavation, it was discovered that there were a lot of square-sized andesite stones, either plain or ornate. After further excavation, it was found that more stone structures were buried in that location and after observing that the stones were a temple building, the excavation was stopped and reported to BP3 Central Java.
