WRINGIN LAWANG TEMPLE ( CANDI WRINGIN LAWANG ) - EAST JAVA

Om 🙏. Wringin Lawang temple located at Jati Pasar Village, Trowulan Sub-district, Mojokerto Regency, East Java. One of the relics of the Majapahit Kingdom that is still remaining, one of which is the gate Wringin Lawang or Wringin Lawang temple. Each relic of the glory of the Majapahit Kingdom has historical value and science. 

Archaeologists said that the gate Wringin Lawang is a gateway of Majapahit Kingdom, but are not the main gate because the main gate drivable by carriage and until now the main gate of the Majapahit Kingdom itself can not be determined with certainty. Wringin Lawang is derived from the word " Wringin " meaning banyan because near the temple there is a banyan tree and " Lawang " which means gate or door. While this temple area for many years been a public funeral by the people around. Now restored, the banyan tree is cut down and the graves moved. The temple was split in two exactly the same shape are built using materials of red brick. The temple was restored in the 1990's using bricks and coupled with the lightning rod. Wringin Lawang gate is believed to be one of the entrances to the complex of Majapahit palace. The gate is commonly called " Candi Bentar " ( the temple was torn in two ). However, this is not a temple but the gate which is similar right to the temple, but as if split into equal parts, from top to bottom the same shape and the roof is not closed. The architectural style of this kind might appear in the Majapahit era and can currently be found in Balinese architecture. Om 🙏🙏🙏 Om.
