THE HISTORY OF THOUSAND MISTERY ON ANCIENT TIME
CANDI PAWON (THE JAVANESE LITTLE JEWEL, GREATER GLORY OF THE
GODS)
This temple is 1150 m from Mendut and 1750m from Borobudur.
It resembles Mendut in many ways. The temple yard for instance, is also square
with its gate to the south-west;it is entered from the north west ;its box like
shape has projections on all four walls and finally like Mendut, the temple
body rests on a rectangular base that has projections along the sides.
The wall panels display reliefs of richly attired figures,
each backed by a praba,which indicates that the figures are possibly
representations of celestial beings, deities from heaven , Bodhisattvas or
Taras. Their obscure attributes make it difficult to ascertain their identify.
