Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sambisari is a 9th-century Hindu temple located at Sambisari hamlet, Purwomartani village, near Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia.

The temple was buried about five metres underground. The temple was accidentally discovered in July 1966 by a farmer when working on land that belongs to Karyowinangun. The excavation and reconstruction works was completed in March 1987. The temple is thought to have been buried by an eruption of volcanic ash from the nearby Mount Merapi. The local belief is that there are 100s of such Hindu and Buddhist temples below ground in Java covered with volcanic material.

Sambisari is a Shivaite Hindu temple built around circa 812-838. The main temple is facing west and took form of a square with size 13.65 meters x 13.65 meters.

It is one of the few temples where the lingga-yoni inside the main temple is intact, as are the statues carved outside the temple. One can see Durga (Parvati), Ganesha and Agastya saptarishi on three sides; the fourth side is entrance into the temple.
