Sojiwan Temple Is Located in Central Java
The characteristic of this temple is almost similar to the Prambanan Temple’s. It has high and narrow
dimensions. Different from Prambanan Temple as a Hindu’s temple, this temple was a combination
between Hindu’s and Budha’s temple. Some parts of the temple represent the Buddhist, while the
structure is almost similar to Prambanan Temple ( a Hindu’s temple ).
The most interesting parts of this temple are the reliefs. There was a fable about Jetake stories on
the wall of Sojiwan Temple. One of the stories is about a monkey that tricked a crocodile in passing
throught a river (a famous fable from Java).
