Head to Banyunibo Temple in Cepit, Bokoharjo, Prambanan, Sleman Regency. The pin follows the Google Maps temple listing, not a nearby archery field or garden, camera coordinates or a surveyed entrance. Confirm hours, admission, access and permitted areas with the operator. Protect the reliefs and follow barriers; the photograph does not establish current permission to enter the chamber.

EXIF records Adobe Photoshop CC Windows. Source history records colour changes, removal of chromatic aberration/purple fringes, reworking from TIF to reduce JPEG artefacts and contrast/darkness edits. Initial dimensions of 9411 × 6754 changed to 8823 × 6332; exact operations and possible image compositing have not been independently verified. Wikimedia Commons resized the photograph from 8823 × 6332 to 1280 × 919 pixels. Floopel received that file without additional cropping or image editing, and its media system processed it for display. Cropping before the source upload and metadata retention in the public photograph have not been established. This archive view depicts the place at the time of capture.

Why it matters

A stupa at the roof’s peak helps identify Banyunibo Temple as a Buddhist structure. The temple in Cepit, Bokoharjo stands on a plain below the hills. DIY heritage documentation describes the curved roof and Hariti reliefs, connecting its architecture with a story of protecting children. The archive photograph shows the main structure, stairs and surrounding stones from one angle. Looking at the relationship between the roof, openings and reliefs encourages a reading of details as well as the building as a whole. Areas that appear open in an older photograph may not be accessible today; follow current routes and barriers to help protect the stone heritage.
