Ki-demang.com : Candi

Lokasi Situs Candi Singo berada di dusun Candi Singo, Madurejo, Prambanan, Sleman, Yogyakarta.

Situs Candi Singo kini sungguh memprihatinkan, batu candi banyak yang tidak tersisa yang tersisa kini hanya 2 artefak candi berupa potongan kaki kinara kinari dan sebuah potongan Makara Singo.
Letak kedua artefak ini pun sungguh susah di temukan sebab menyebar berjauhan, kaki Kinara Kinari berada di samping sungai yang berada di dusun tersebut sedangkan Arca Singo berada di sebuah samping pelataran masjid yang menyempil dari sorot pandang orang yang sedang berjalan karna terhalang oleh pagar masjid. Jadi bila ingin menemukan artefak ini yang jelas mata harus jeli.

Description:
According to ancient inventories, candi Singo was located on a small hill, whose summit was partly erased to create a courtyard of 11 x 45m.
The main temple was said to be in a line with candi Geblak and Bebrah.
It was actually a compound made of a central sanctuary and two small shrines on the north and south. The main shrine had a projection at the centre of each side and was turned to the west (IJzerman 1891: 117). The cella of the main temple measured 12 feet square, while the sacred chamber of the secondary shrines was only 6.5 feet square.
In front of each shrine was a hole. According to Brumund, those three pits were certainly tanks for the holy water (Brumund 1854: 52). However, IJzerman suggested that those "holes" were not tanks but temple pits (IJzerman 1891: 118).

Sculptures:
A bull was found on the site together with a Ganeśa and one yoni (IJzerman 1891:118).
