Candi Sari

After our visit to Candi Sambisari, my brother and I made way to the nearby Candi Sari. It was rather easy to find from the main road, upon reaching a colorful looking mosque we just made left turn in to a neighborhood street and voila, it was there. The small Candi complex was situated in the middle of a neighborhood area with local kids playing around the compound. Nevertheless, the complex was clean and well-maintained.

Candi Sari was a Buddhist temple as indicated by the stupas at the top of its building. It was said that the building had two floors separated by some wood planks. At the present, the planks had gone, but the windows on top of one another suggested that it was once  a two-storey building indeed.

The reliefs inside and outside of the Candi building was beautiful. My favorite in particular were the guardians of the windows. They were of the shape of half-human and half-bird. They are called the Kinnars, which can also be found in Thai temples, among others.

After admiring the Candi building, we started to get creative silly and took some action shot (brother) and relief shot (me). Don't you think I kind of blend in with the Candi on the right picture?
