Thank you very much for the photos Alan. I really appreciate it.

You mentioned a standing stone that predates the candi. Is it the lingga carving with the keris image on it?

I've been wanting to learn more about the Candra Sangkala but haven't come across a good source. Can anyone recommend a good publication?

Rasdan:- no, it is a plain lingga, not one of the highly carved works

Yuuzan;- the most accessible source for the Candra Sangkala is Raffles "History of Java"

Default correction

In post #6 I have given the reading of the chronogram for 9531 as :-

gapura buta abara wong

this is incorrect, a product of my rather messy notes, it should be:-

gapura buta aban wong

sorry for the sloppy work.

Alan, could the Javanese phrase gapura buta aban wong be rendered into Bahasa as gapura raksasa makan orang-orang?
