Candi Pustakasala or Candi Kimpulan is a 9th to 10th century Hindu Shaivism temple which was discovered during the start of construction of a new four-storey library at Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). The temple was buried about five metres underground and the temple is thought to have been buried by an ancient volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Merapi about a millennia ago. It only consists of several squares of walled stone base and staircases with the carving of Kala. The inner chambers contain statues of Ganesha, Nandi, and Lingam-Yoni. Its a contemporary example of the fusion of historic Hinduism and contemporary Islam. Currently the Candi is not opened for public viewing yet and the picture were captured from distance away from the Candi.
