Tikus Temple

Tikus temple or 'Rat temple', is located about 500 meters in south east of Bajang Ratu temple. Before having its today's condition, this temple had some restoration during 1985 to 1989. In this site, there is Petirtaan site, which is a bathing ritual place in Majapahit period.

This temple was a ritual bathing pool or Petirtaan in Javanese term. The name Candi Tikus was given to the discovery in 1914 because the site appeared during the excavation to be a rat-breeding enclosure.

The principal structure, which projects from the southern wall of the basin, was apparently modeled on the legendary Mount Mahameru. The construction is n longer complete, it consisted of terraced foundations, upon which would have rested a concentric arrangement of 'turrets' surrounding the highest peak of the building.
