Candi Mendut


Mendut 

I think I should be proud because of being born on earth great artists with great masterpiece. Ancestors are great people. They created masterpieces Mendut, Pawon and Borobudur temple with amazing detail. 

Mendut is one of a triad of temples in Magelang district. The location of this temple is the easternmost of the three temples, precisely in the Village Mendut, Mendut village, Kec. Mungkid, Magelang regency. 

The temple which was built during this dynasty dynasty to witness how much fun those days. Time when playing football with friends when I was sitting on the bench Government Elementary School (SD). My school was not yet have its own sports field, so every time a PE lesson we headed to the park Mendut.

Stupa in Mendut 
Relief about the birds and turtles that became a favorite story of friends as a child. Relief is about three friends, two geese and a tortoise. One time they hit the dry shelter, three of them (geese and turtles) decided to move. However, because the turtles can not fly, then the second goose to help her with a wood turtle could bite the wood and flew together. 

Another version states: 

In these reliefs there are paintings of animal stories or fables that are known from Pancatantra or Jataka. The full story is presented below. But the story is presented below is somewhat different version with paintings in relief this: 

There is a turtle living in the lake Kumudawati. The lake was very picturesque, many tunjungnya beranekawarna, there are white, red and (lotus) blue. 
There are female male swan, wander looking for food at the origin Kumudawati lake water from lake Manasasara.Adapun name of the goose, the Cakrangga (name) gander, the Cakranggi (name) a female goose. They were living together at the lake Kumudawati. 
So already lamalah friends with the turtles. The Durbudi (name) of the male, while the Kacapa (name) of the female. 
So it was already nearly dry season. The water in the lake Kumudawati increasingly mengeringlah. [Both] goose, the Cakrangga and the Cakranggi then said goodbye to their friend the tortoise; the Durbudi and the Kacapa. He said: 
"O friend we asked ourselves out of here. We want to go from here, because the more mengeringlah water in the lake. Especially before the season we kuasalah kemarau.Tidak far from water. That's why we want to fly from here, fled to a mountain lake called Hima Manasasana. Very pure water is clear and deep. Do not dry out even though the dry season. That's where our goal comrade. "So said the angsa.Maka kurapun answered the tortoise, he said: 
"Oh friend, our great love to you, now you will be leaving us, trying to own your life. 
Is not (state) with us by you, can not be far from water? Wherever you go we will go, in your joys and sorrows. This is the result of our friendship with you. 
Goose replied: "Well the turtles. We no sense. It's no wood, ye pagutlah center, we'll bite the ends there and here with my wife. There is strong we'll bring you fly, [just] do not loose your bite, and again do not talk. Everything that we overcome as long as we fly you later, you should not be reprimanded as well. If someone had asked not to be answered too. That's what you should do, do not comply with our words. If you do not follow our instructions will not work you get to their destination, will end up dead. "So said the goose. 
Then dipagutlah middle of the wood by the tortoise, the tip and base pecked by a swan, there and here, the men chant, right kiri.Segera carried by geese flying, will wander into the lake Manasasara, expected destination. It has been far they fly, and came in above fields Wilanggala.Maka are male and female dogs who take shelter under a mango tree. Si Nohan male dog name, the name of the female Babyan. So mendongaklah female dog, see the geese fly, they both fly the tortoise. Then he said. "O my father, behold, there it is very improbable. Turtles flown by a pair of swans! "Then the male dog answered:" It is impossible for your words. Since when there is a turtle that was brought by the geese fly? Not the tortoise but dry buffalo dung, nests karu-karu! Presents for children geese, there it was! "So said the male dog. 
Heard the words of the dog by the tortoise, became angry thought. Bergetarlah mouth because it is considered dry buffalo dung, nests karu-karu. 
So mengangalah the tortoise's mouth, loose wood dipagutnyam fell to the ground and then eaten by wolves and the male swan betina.Si shame not complied with his advice. Then they continued on flying to the lake Manasasara. 

Relief birds and turtles 
In addition to the story about the tortoise and the birds swans, there's more story about "Brahmin and the Crab" which tells of a Brahmin who rescued a crab for crab is then return the favor in a way to save the Brahmin from the disruption of crows and snakes. "Two Different Betet Bird" tells the parrot behavior of two very different because it only brought up by the Brahmins and the other by a highwayman. And "Dharmabuddhi and Dustabuddhi" about two friends of different behavior where Dustabuddhi who have accused the reprehensible nature Dharmabuddhi committed a disgraceful act, but eventually his crime was uncovered and Dustabudhi-sentenced.
