Hey guys, Today we're going to look at the second largest Buddhist temple in Indonesia. This is a very large temple, but nobody comes here. This temple is called the Candi Sewu Temple, which means the place of 1000 temples. And it's known for its ancient secrets. Let's go inside and see what's there.
As we walk inside, we are greeted by these two giant guardians called the Dwara Palakas. These are huge, probably ten feet tall or more. This is the guardian door keeper or the Dwara Palaka on the left side of the entrance. And you can see he's very big. He's probably about ten feet tall. And look at his mustache. And if you look into his mouth, you can see the fangs coming out.
His eyes are popping out because he's always angry. In his hand, he's holding a mace called the Gadha, which is a brute force weapon. And then you can see that he's wearing this sacred thread. But is it a sacred thread? No, he's actually wearing a snake on the arm. You can see how the snake is again, worn as an ornament.
Now, let's look at this Dwarapalaka and see what we can find. Now, on the side again, you can see the Dwarapalaka with the fangs and a large mustache. But look at his sacred thread. Here you can see the head of the snake. And again on the arm. Look at how he is wearing the snake as an ornament.
And here is another snake. He's holding another snake. And the snake has its open hood at the back. You can see an interesting detail. He's not only holding a big club called the Gadha, he's also having a sword that is put inside a sheath. You can see this flower and you see this little detail on his ankle, which is anatomically accurate.
Who was this God? Is he Shiva? Is he Buddha? Is he Mahavira? Or maybe even Jesus! Or some other God? Who is he? Can you guess who this is? It's quite difficult to identify by the statue because the face is index of the mind. And once the head is cut off, it's very hard to identify who this is.
However, we know this is Lord Buddha. We can identify him by his typical sitting posture and his hand gestures called Mudras. Many people in Indonesia claim that the head is destroyed due to nature, but that's not how nature works. Nature is going to destroy everything evenly. It's not going to just pick out the head and cut it off.
It may have been anyone who destroyed the head, but this was done willfully. Let's go take a look at another statue and see if that statue has the head intact between these ruins. There is one more temple that still looks somewhat intact. Let's go inside and see if we still have the Buddha intact. Unfortunately, you can see that his head is also chopped off.
This is a sad reality of such a fantastic ancient Buddhist temple. Out of respect for Lord, I'm going to remove my shoes because I'm going to sit here for a few minutes and tell you the history of Candi Sewu. Candi Sewu means a Temple Complex of 1000 temples. But are there 1000 temples in this temple complex? No. When archeologists started to put numbers on these individual temples, they could only find 249 temples.
However, when people first found out about the ruins, it just looked so large that people named it Candi Sewu and the name stuck with the locals. So this is why they still call it Candi Sewu, even though it only has 249 temples. Now you can see that this is an ancient statue. There is no doubt about this. However, archeologists are trying to reconstruct the head of Buddha.
Now they put some plaster of Paris on this and they started to put the metal rod inside because they're going to create or re-create the head of Buddha and then fix it on top of the shoulders. That's very interesting because there would have been 249 Buddha statues like this placed in every small temple. And if you look around, it's very, very interesting because you can imagine that this is a huge Buddhist temple complex.
Now, Candi Sewu is one of the most underrated temples in all of Indonesia. Why do I say this? Because it is the second largest Buddhist temple in Indonesia. Most of you have heard of Borobudur, which is the largest Hindu (*Buddhist Actually) temple complex in Indonesia. But Candi Sewu, is a name that nobody hears about. Why? Because it is in ruins.
Praveen Mohan videos are a thousand times better than all those Netflix and other documentaries combined.
Thank you for your kind words, please share this video with everyone
The lab results are in , the data says you are correct
Heh, not even to be compared.
Oh, absolutely! He helps satisfy what's really out there they won't let us see. Love his stuff!
Praveen is doing all this videos with such a dedication to his work 👍 super cool vids totally agree
Praveen thank you for showing the influence of Indian culture in foreign countries. You have created the interest in indian history through your videos
Not Indian, but to be precise Aryan.

True story
Praveen very interesting vedioes....
But these were rooted with natives and comprehensive, oldest recorded in general.
I believe many of these ancient temples were destroyed to erase knowledge and eliminate the function. These structures had a function. I believe Praveen is on the way to discover the secrets. My deepest gratitude. Thank you Praveen! 💕🙏💕

Thank you

Thanks for your appreciative comment here, it does matter
You mean Indonesia not india
Рад, что вы интересуетесь индийской культурой.. также я хочу, чтобы вы знали, что тамильский язык старше санскрита, на котором люди все еще говорят, и даст более ценную информацию... на нем говорят в южной части Индии..
As an Indonesian, my thought that Chandi Sewu underrated because there is Chandi Prambanan (The Largest Indonesian Ancient Hindu Temple)... Its about the second largest Chandi in Indonesia, after Borobudur (Buddhism Temple)... then another Chandi is 'forgotten..' There are alot Chandi here and we can't know it all in simply student history book...
Indian subcontinent is full of mysteries ❤❤
Indonesia is not located in south Asia. Its geography is not located in "Indian subcontinent". It was heavily influenced by Indian culture, but South East Asia is not "Indian subcontinent".

Amazing *PraveenMohan*
The Candi Sewu encodes the three & four-fold metaphysical motif of the Buddha. The 3 & 4 motif is a metaphor for Circling (3) your Square (4) & attaining enlightenment (a.k.a. Buddhahood). From the aerial view, the ancients clearly captured a static hypercube made of stone. The prominent harmonic numbers & their arrangements:
4 (4 x 1) = The Entire Complex is arranged in a square. There are 4 rows of temples. The Dvarapala (Door Guards) guard the 4 cardinal directions. They have 4-fold earrings & they sit on a square pedestal that features a flower with 4 petals.
72 (4 x 18) (3 x 24) = The two inner rows. A harmonic number used in many religions. The central dome of the Candi Borobudur is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside of stupas. In astronomy, 72 years calculates 1 degree of solar arc during the 25,920 year-long Great Year.
168 (4 x 42) (3 x 56) = The two outer rows. A harmonic number used in many religions. 168 is the product of the first two perfect numbers (6 & 28). 168 = Primes less than 1,000. The number appears all over fractal mathematics, to include 168 equaling the second smallest non-abelian group, 168 automorphisms of a genus 3 Reimann surface, etc. 168 includes all the numbers above as divisors (1, 3, 4, 18, 24, 42, & 56). The Fano Plane has 168 symmetries. The word Glory (Doxa) appears 168 times in the New Testament.
249 (3 x 83) = Total temples. The number is represented in Mahayana Cosmology. It also represents 5 x 50 = 250, minus 1 (You/The Buddha in You). This motif is similar to the Judaic motif of Moses & the 49 Gates (or 50 Gates), in which he was able to cross 49 of the 50 gates.
Good Luck Circling your Square! 👍
Can these numbers be transposed to tuning forks? cool post
@@macoediv Thanks. Yes, they do make tuning forks in harmonic sequences. Also binaural sleep programs.
Yes. I suspect many ancient sites and artworks across the world embody advanced mathematics. Hypercubes and more. Do you have a direction to point to in terms of further research/explanation?
@@robertjan002 The Secret to Enlightenment is contained within all the religions of the world. However, due to cultural differences (languages, expressions, lexicon, etc.) the secret gets lost in translation. Even still, when someone attains enlightenment, they are left with the task of conveying the ineffable deity in those limited terms as described above. Thus, there never has been & never will be a step-by-step instruction manual for attaining enlightenment. My best advice is to study all religions, cross compare them all, & discover the proportion (mean) between them. With enough hyper-focused diligence & purification from sensual desires (clinging), you can awaken the ineffable Light within you, & you will become a Buddha, a Christ, a Hero, an Osiris, & many other names. You will have attained the Hypercube.
@@aquariusrising144 I was asking more about the breakdown of the temple structure and mathematical analysis. But, hey, I checked out your channel also. Great info. Thanks
I believe the reason why they have the wall and the stairs is for them to climb and do the abhishek of the statue. I believe that the statue was a sitting posture budha which ended right at the end of the wall and by climbing the stairs they would reach above him from where they would probably pour milk and water for abhishek and would decorate everything around as well.
Amazing video! The site looks really ancient and beautiful!
But it's so narraow. People from another world used to go up with those stairs
I don't think Buddhism had or even currently has the practice of Abhishek.
@@brj4773 it's a Hindu mandir. Buddhism came way after
@@brj4773but JAINISM whose ancient name is shraman dharma or anekantawad also called samanism or shramanism has concept of pakshal Pooja or Abhishek of jina pratima or vigraha with milk and water singing glory of mount meru or sumeru on which celestial beings like Indra do janma kalyanak mohatsav of baby tirthankaras

Hello ProveenMohan, I have been following your CZcams channel for a long time and I am from Indonesia. Thank you for sharing forgotten Indonesian culture to the world via your CZcams Channel...😃
🔴 I make sure I stop whatever I'm doing, to view your new videos Praveen.
You are doing what no one else is doing by giving us history and architecture at its best.
Great respect and many thanks.
❤❤💎⭐👍
Glad you liked it, do help share more
Very cool. I have been waiting for your adventure in Indonesia. Thank you for your information! The heads of Buddha statues unfortunately end up in foreign museums all over the world or in private collection.
Looking forward to the next episodes!
Its done by muslim jihADi scoundrels just the way they destroyed bamiyan giant Buddha statue in afganistan few years back
But no one allowed to speak the truth for fear of musllims !
Glad you visited and studied these ruins in Indonesia.
Check temple complex in Dieng Highlands. Also if you're still in Indonesia, check Gunung Padang, oldest ruins in the world to date.
I am glad you liked my video, please share it with everyone.
This is the first time getting a notice of your video in many months. I was so happy to have this notice. You are my favorite historian on this platform.
Good Bless you brother!
Thanks and blessings to you too
@@RealPraveenMohan 🙏
I visited Indonesia ba2ck in the early 70s. The temples in the middle of small town were beautiful and so ancient. I was happy they were still there since the country had over the centuries changed religions .
Fascinating as always. I believe that the ancient people who used the narrow passage were probably smaller in stature. And why would the Buddha be missing? It's been a habit to destroy a temple statue or carry it away to exert power over the god it represents.
Probably in someone house
Destruction of old religious objects is often done by conquerers who want to impose their religion.
Examples of this were the muslim invasions into India where they destroyed many temples, ancient libraries and statues.
It also happened as recent as 2001 when the islamic Taliban destroyed the giant Buddha statues of Bamiyan.
Buddhism was driven out of India by the than Brahminical Order
Taliban destroyed the Bamiyan Buddha in Afghanistan , because they claimed that it was an affront to Islam. What do we expect in Muslim majority Indonesia.
@@jfv65 exactly my line of thought. Thanks for expressing it so completely
My guru praveen always rocks❤❤
Glad you liked it, do help share
Oh wow Praveen!
Such mysteries you disclose to us in your amazing videos.
The questions you ask are exactly what I’m wondering about which makes them so compelling.
Sending you, your family and your team ❤❤❤
There was a guard behind this wall. As a rule, these were bhoots. They were smaller, slimmer humans and extremely effective as guards. You yourself have seen many narrow underground tunnels and some are covered with stones. If you disassemble the stones and widen the passages, you can find their skeletons. I was lucky, I saw several skulls of these creatures. The tradition of using these creatures as guards comes from the depths of ancient times, when the Ganas brought them to earth.
I have never even seen a skeleton from one that would be very interesting.
Realy?? 😮huge news mas
Why the steps?
@@totoro358 Yes, you correctly formulated “from another world”. I am not a supporter of immediately declaring aliens. For many decades, people have been conditioned to believe that such statements are madness or lies. But the problem is that any other explanation for the appearance of gans and bhuts is illogical. They are too different from all life on Earth. And at the same time there are some similarities. In any case, the Chinese of the HONG_HAN culture (pre-imperial period) depicted similar creatures. Small jade figurines with horns. There is a similar image on the facade of a house on the facade of one of the houses on the top of a mountain in the state of Maharashtra. You can also often find an image of a bhut in Anatolia in Turkey. But in Malta, in the museum of excavations of ancient settlements, there is a part of such a skull with horns. But no animal on earth uses the inside of its horns to house its brain. In earthly creatures, the brain is protected by the skull, and horns grow outside.
@@Artstudio-ie5siyou really know a lot about them
Some of these structures you show us must be far more ancient then they want us to think, why is that so I wonder? You do a great job Praveen, thank you
Thank you for the update, Praveen..!! It's interesting to know only the demonic statues are intact in the destroyed temple, and it appears something or someone shattered the temple to pieces at once. Indonesia's Buddhism is special, because they have a primordial Buddha named Sanghyang Adi Buddha, the Buddha who doesn't exist in any other Buddhist sects. I believe the headless Buddha shown on the video is Sanghyang Adi Buddha, because there are statues of him intact with the same hand pose in Indonesia. Thank you very much for the teachings as always, Praveen.

But no one allowed to speak the truth for fear of musllims !
The temples in Indonesia all have a typical feature... The Stone blocks are all clearly visible and that makes it unique and cool. I was amazed to see this raw and original!
@I_DONT_GIVE_A_SHIT The temple was built by native Javanese back when they were Buddhists. Nowadays, most Javanese are Muslim.
@@jcdenton1635 Most of the architects were indians. they were paid by kings who funded such mega structures in S E asia
Javanese did not have any such architects nor written texts nor tools
@@davelawson2564 There are texts from Sewu written in Old Malay using the Javanese script (Malay was the lingua franca). Iron and bronze technology also existed in Indonesia long before Indian influence. The natives adopted Indian religions (Buddhism and Hinduism) but used their own tools to construct their own temples in their own style. That's why Indonesian architecture includes some elements that differ from Indian architecture such as candi bantar gates and sharp rooftops in traditional wooden buildings.
The same thing happened in Cambodia with Angkor Wat. You can tell the builders of Angkor Wat were native Cambodians because their own sculptures of Hindu gods actually look East Asian such as apsaras, devatas, and hermits that decorate the walls of Angkor Wat.
@@jcdenton1635people who built are from Indian subcontinent only. And it was build way before Islam came to existence. Your education seems to be diluted
@@huskyboi9847 No, it was built by Indonesians who adopted Buddhism and Hinduism from India, similar to how Angkor Wat in Cambodia was built by native Khmers (as I've explained above).
If anyone can solve the mysteries, it would be you. I've subscribed to your channel for years and think of you as a spiritual Sherlock. I really like how you point out the symbiology and try to figure out the reason behind all the ancient sites. Keep up the good work, man.
Thank you for watching, please share this with everyone.
Praveen, love you so much, thank you so much for showing our own, real and original ancient temples. I am really so proud to be born as Hindu 🙏
God bless
Praveen, you are one of a kind. I'm following you from the beginning & suggested to many. Your thought process is very much academic towards an entirely diverse dimension than anyone I know. I seriously wanted to connect with you for a few sagacious reasons. Hope (wish) we may.....!!

HI SIR I AM A VERY BIG FAN OF U😊
IM SO INSPIRED BY UR WORKS ON HINDU TEMPLES❤
Thank you so much 🙂
The destruction surrounding you in this video makes me sick and sad.
Humans are endlessly disappointing. Their stupidity only matched by their violence and hate.
India in particular being a victim of that endless cycle.
All we all can do is try and do better and try to put this world back together again someday.
Great as always.
Ps: ive seen several people use portable diver lights on other channels. They are extremely bright and may help when you go into these pitch black places.

Muslim invader did all this - destroyed all buddhist n hindu and other religions temples 😢😢
The creation was distroyed
It's because of the earthquake
@@harryrinaldi2812wake up. No earth quake only cuts the head of all statues. Temple may fall by Earth Quake but I surely differentiate what is what.
Thank you for showing us another lesser-known temple complex, and especially the secret stairs.
Our pleasure!
May the God's bless you with the knowledge you seek. Your enthusiasm for wanting to know and share the stories about these temples is contagious and I feel like i'm on every adventure with you. Plus your reverence and respect to these locations is worthy of mention. Thanks for your contributions.
Sir, it was an incredible video.
The thing is that these types of places have hidden truths that are meant to be revealed by people like you.

This always shows how good you guys are and your enthusiasm.
Please stay healthy sir, India needs Praveenmohan
You are indeed the 'Phenomenal Traveler '

🙌
Incredible discoveries ❤
Sewu = 1000 = Sahasra. Sahasra is a word of Sanskrit origin, which means "thousand" or "a large number" or "Infinite".
Thank you Praveen for another beautiful video.🙏
SEWU in Romanian language means FAT, the specific fat of cow, goat or sheep, and can also be related to ZEU= GOD.
Kasa panama adichi vidu unpaatuku...
In Indonesia & Malaysia the word Seribu (old word Saribu) means 1000.... Sewu & Seribu sounds almost the same...🤔😯
Thanks for sharing!!
Hmm... It somewhat reminds me of the story of Rama Bargawa and Arjuna Sasrabahu... The about ajian danurweda and astra weapons from purwacarita story (Aji Saka/Ajiwaka's legacy)...
I am always fascinated with your new findings ...the Main statue is so big so the side steps for the priests and others to go up and put garlands and other seva activities for the statue...i believe i have seen similar structure some where inside pragdishwarar temple ...but not sure.
Amazing *PraveenMohan*

I will try my best
Shubh Diwali dear Praveen bhai

Thank you for sharing your inquiries. I imagine these 251 temples were worshipped at by many many people. Could there have been such reverence for this place that there would have been a staff working and tending? And among that staff would be a choir to either chant mantra or hymns in the main temple. The false wall and stairs would allow a small choir to assemble and be unseen but heard while others congregate under the main Buddha statue and would increase the gravity of the experience? Idk, I have no clue if this is practiced anywhere in your culture, it was just a thought an outsider looking in had. Your videos are top notch and I tell everyone who will listen about them.
Let's go 🔥💯🙏🏾 thank you Praveen
Mr Mohan, you're doing an essential service to reviving the Vedic culture. Thank you very much. ( If we want to find the missing statue, maybe we should look in the British museum. They have been doing a service for us, since we are not civilized enough for it's preservation. We can only build it. This is very sad 😢
No that would be the Dutch musium
Har har Mahadev 🔱🚩
Many Buddha heads can also be seen in art museums of the US.
But the custom of removing Budda heads from statues continues even today in SE Asia. I would like an explanation of this practice.
@@ronaldmarkwardt1586 muslims don't like idols
I Think the Hidden steps are used climb up and reach the narrow wall from which the lord budhha is decorated, The architectute was so brilliant that the wall behind the main idol(Lord BUDHHA) at a very first glance no one can identify the wall and the steps behind it. Now a days in the temples there are large idols and to decorate those idols ladders are being used insted the architecture shown by PRAVEEN MOHAN in this video can be implemented.
My thought was also to access the statue. Decoration makes sense. But silly me, my first thoughts were to anoint or give coins.
Excellent as usual, Praveen. What kind of a maniac goes around destroying such priceless sculptures? Even if they dont believe in a particular God, at least these sculptures could have been preserved for its artistic and cultural values.
जय श्री राम 💐💐🙏
it is expensive in the black market.
Ask Vatican.
Ask pope.
The most valuable traces of our history are there.
😊
Amazing work, as always, Praveen. The room and the ceiling seem intact. How can a statue so big have been taken away without breaking any walls or ceiling ? Could there have been 1000 Buddhas ? - trying to justify the name of the temple.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Destroyed into smaller pieces and taken out?
Probably Because they were all 3d printed and later put in like chess pawns, as gods were very thin tall in Satya yuga, please put a huge thumbs up guys so that everyone can see it.😅
Buddhas might be addition of the Japanese war machine in WWII, as they were still lot of mahayana, even though the Meiji government cracked down officially, they took all technologies from the Aryan colonies in the south and put their names in to it.
the room was once a ruined, it was recunstructed. if you want to see the Buddha, go to england. the britts looted it.
@@Satoshi18168the Japanese didn't do it. The Muslims did it.
Candi Sewu,
In the Manjushrigrha inscription found next to the main temple it was told that there was a seated manjushri Statue made of bronze in the main temple.
Since it was metal made, the statue maybe was reforging and dissapear

It certainly is a good find, Mr. Praveen..!! Most probably, an islamic dominance at some point of time, may have done the damage to the Buddha statue... Waiting for you to unravel the secrets of those weirdly thin stairs...thanks.
The action of cutting off the head of a person or animal an attempt to undermine a group or organization by removing its leaders. Thank You Praveen For Sharing This Place Of 1,000 Temples, Perhaps One Day We Will Have A True Understanding, Much Love, Wendy
Praveen, you have to visit Candi Prambanan and Candi Ratu Boko nearby this temple (Candi Sewu).
Thank you so much for visiting our temples in Central Java. Always love to learn from your point of view..😅💙
Thanks for the tips! Blessed morning to you
the thrill when Praveen posts a video 💟😄😃
sure is sweetie 😉
It's possible that there was something precious at the hidden chamber of this temple which was also looted during plundering this mighty structure ! Probably there were many more hidden chambers which has been closed forever ! 🙂
As always, incredible video. Looking forward to deciphering d secrets.
Coming soon!
Always great!
you are also a SECRET TREASURE for us praveen.❤
This is better than Indiana Jones!!! Please make a movie, documentary about your adventures sir!!! 🙏🏻
Another AMAZING video . Thank you pard for showing it to us !🤠🤠👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Praveen❤🙏
1. To be able to sculpt even those guardians with such precision and perfection, one must be inspired by some Divine Energy .
2. To destroy those Divine statues one must be possessed by evil, no doubt about it.
Chandi means Mother kaali. So maybe , the main temple was of Maa Kaali Devi Temple initially. When a Buddhist King came to power, they installed Buddha idols.
When power changed hands to some other religion, they spoilt the statues.
The dwarpalakas are wearing sacred thread meaning it was a Hindu Temple. Thats my guess.
Ankorwat Temple was converted by the Buddhists.
all ancient temples whether hindus or buddhis in Indonesia are called Candi.
Amazing stuff Praveen !
Wow. Amazing and interesting as always!! Looking forward to
Your next video and hoping to see the questions answered!
Thanks for watching, next video will come soon.
Radhe radhe !
Praveen sir u should come to Madhya Pradesh it still holds some of magnificent ancient temples 😼.
Very soon!
Hello sir
your videos are highly inspirational and motivates me t look back at our history and culture
Glad you liked it, do help share more
Maybe they had candles back there to illuminate the main Buddha statue, and someone probably stole it and it's sitting in their garden, as a design feature....it's huge so what else could have been done with it, maybe it was pure gold or something and got taken and sadly melted, there are so many options....keep adventuring Praveen. We love your content and information.
Thank you Praveen ! Namaskaar ! 💐💐

I think it’s not a Buddhist Temple, but a temple of Goddess Kali because Chandi meaning is one other name of Goddess Kali. Also other doubt is what are the two giant demons like Dwarapalakas doing in a Bhuddist temple? Because usually a Buddhist shrine or a Bhuddist temple is meant for meditating and demons like Dwarakapalakas doesn’t fit in a Bhuddist temple. Earlier there might have been lot of Chandi goddesses idols and later these might have been replaced with Buddha statues.
Same doubt
Well, candi in Indonesian means ancient temple for Hinduism and Buddhist ancient temple. So there's no connection with kali goddess, especially ancient Javanese believe in Siva, not in goddess Kali, and there's no Kali Temple ever built in Java. The only goddess that have her own temple is Buddhist goddess Tara. And ancient Javanese different than ancient India, from the start, a temple is built for one god, and never changed. So there's nothing like it was dedicated as goddess A temple first but later get converted to Buddhist temple like Angkor. FYI, Buddhism are the earliest foreign religion that arrive in Indonesia, Buddhist first, later Hinduism. Even if Hinduism older than Buddhism in India, but in Indonesia Buddhism is older. And dwarapala is the students of Budha, a yaksa that getting enlightenment, just like goddess Hariti. So if you think Buddhism is just about meditation, your statement are not fully correct.

Kali and Shiva have an influential association. He is her consort; she is his wife. Kali is the feminine form of Kala, which is one of Shiva's nicknames. Kali is Shiva's shakti (power), and he could not act without her assistance. Where Parvati soothes Shiva, Kali ignites him, provoking him to do wild deeds.
On the other hand, Shiva is the one to soothe Kali's ferocity. Hindu myth offers multiple examples of Shiva calming Kali's destruction. One time, he challenged her to a dance-off, dancing wildly for days and ultimately wearing her out and beating her. On another occasion, he cried like a baby, appealing to her maternal instincts, which won over her destruction.
Also as you said that Bhuddism arrived in Indonesia, I think prior to Buddhism, It was Hinduism in Indonesia.
Also Yaksha is considered to be a form of Spirit. And Goddesses Tara is also similar to Goddesses Kali and they both have the power to summon spirits. And here again Yaksha is a form of Spirit and he is like the Dwarapalaka or Gatekeeper of Goddesses Tara or Goddesses Kali which again raises the same question that is it a temple of Goddesses Tara or is it converted to a Bhuddist Site?
Hinduism in Indonesia not the same with the Hinduism in India bro, in India you can found many temple dedicated to many god or goddess, but in ancient Java, it's only dedicated to trimurti, especially for Shiva. I know that kali or in Java we known her as Durga cause her statue as Durga Mahisasuramardini is the Shakti of Shiva, but in Java her role is the aspect of Shiva. Her temple is inside the Shiva temple. Her entity is one and an aspect of Shiva, so she don't have her own temple.
And goddess Tara that you describe, let me guess, you describe the Hinduism goddess Tara that part of Mahavidya right. Buddhism Tara is not the Hinduism Tara bro, Buddhism Tara is the manifestation of sunyata, and born from Avalokitesvara tear when she saw that many human are thrown to the hell. So she's not have similarities with goddess Tara of Mahavidya, even if they're both have same name and same mantra.
Also, Buddhism dwarapala is a giant that love to eating human flesh, that make people fear and tell Lord Buddhato help them. Buddha meet the giant, and tell him the Buddha darma, after the giant learn it, the wild instinct disappear, so Buddha tell him to guard every Buddhist temple. It's similar but different bro. It's Indonesia not India, just because your ancestors have a bad memories between Hinduism and Buddhism like converted one temple to another, Indonesian ancestors already live in peace with each other even if we believe in different religions. As it write in our national motto Bhinneka tunggal Ika, that derived from ancient Buddhist kitab Sutasoma, that tell the story of prince Sutasoma. I believe it's different from the one in India since our perspective is different. Bhinneka tunggal Ika write in the kakawin when prince Sutasoma fight the giant king purusada. King purusada ask the blessings of Shiva, and prince Sutasoma is the manifestation of Buddha. It's say that Bhinneka tunggal Ika means that even if they're fight as two different entity, actually lord Shiva and Lord Buddha are one entity.
Hope it can help you to realize that even if Hinduism and Buddhism came from India, it's can be different in other land, especially Indonesia.

Who destroyed these amazing temples?
The war between Mataram and Sriwijaya kingdom or Sailendra and Sanjaya dynasty... Buddhist and Bhairawa Tantra...
Fortunately, the war ended with Pramodhawardani's marriage to Rakai Pikatan... Marked by the construction of Borobudur and Prambanan...
During the Sriwijaya-Cholamandala war, Nalanda was abandoned and our ancestors moved towards Borobudur and Mount Semeru/Mahameru on Java island... The period of Shiva-Buddha syncretism begins. The motto is Bhinneka Tunggal Ika written on the national coat of arms Garuda Pancasila...
Rwâneka dhâtu winuwus Buddha Wiswa,
Bhinnêki rakwa ring apan kena parwanosen,
Mangka ng Jinatwa kalawan Siwatatwa tunggal,
Bhinnêka tunggal ika tan hana dharma mangrwa.
Translation:
It is said that the well-known Buddha and Shiva are two different substances.
They are indeed different, yet how is it possible to recognise their difference in a glance,
since the truth of Jina (Buddha) and the truth of Shiva is one.
They are indeed different, but they are of the same kind, as there is no duality in Truth.
