Religion: Hindu.
Main features: Unknown.
State of preservation: Scattered stones.

Description:

Behind the high school, a small mound of temple stones is visible. Lots of stones are also scattered in its direct neighbourhood, used to build walls in the fields. Among the stones that one can still identify, there are mouldings, an unfinished makara, lintels, parts of crowning pieces as well as one lingga boundary stone.
Ancient literature mentions that the site was made out of two temples located on the ground of the villages of Pelem and Tampir (Verbeek 1891: 194; Bosch 1915a: 94). Pelem is probably to be identified with Pahingan, which lies a few hundred meters to the southeast.

Sculptures : One yoni (90cm x 90cm x 80cm) is still visible on the site.
Some sculptures were found here, among others 1 Trimūrti, 4 Śiwa, 1 Ganeśa and 1 Durgā (Bosch 1915a: 94; Krom 1925a: 178). However, as in ancient literature both sites are associated with one another, it is not clear whether the sculptures come from Tampir or from Pahingan.
