About
Bojongmenje is a significant archaeological site located in West Java, Indonesia, and dates to the Early Post-Classical Period. The site features the remnants of a 7th-century Hindu candi, marking it as one of the oldest temple structures on Java island. Built using andesite stone, the temple showcases a simple architectural design with a square base measuring six meters per side and walls devoid of decoration or bas-relief. Its construction era predates many other known temples in Central and East Java, aligning it temporally with the Dieng temples in Central Java. Bojongmenje offers valuable insights into the early Hindu influences and architectural practices on Java during this period.
