Sawentar Temple

Sawentar Temple is located at Sawentar village, Kanigoro district, to the east of Blitar. The temple shows similarities in form to Kidal temple. A tentative date of around the early to mid 13th century has consequently been assigned to it. The base of the temple lies several meters below the present ground level, a result of having been buried under a mass of lava, presumably from an eruption of nearby Mt Kelud. The site was excavated during the early years of this century. This temple seems reside on a pool. At first found, the temple had covered by mount dust.

Sawentar temple is also called as Cungkup temple. A small yoni pedestal lying within the temple's central chamber, depicts a figure of Garuda, suggesting that the monument was dedicated to the god Wishnu.
