(Translated by Google) Relics of the era of the Singhasari kingdom. Ganesha statue located in Karangkates. What makes this statue very unique, apart from the high size of the statue, is its standing position, while most of the Ganesha statues found in Indonesia have a sitting position. In addition, this statue is also seen standing on a pedestal carved with a skull, a hallmark of the Bairawa Tantra school.
The scenery around is nice to be able to see a row of Mount Kelud.

Peninggalan zaman kerajaan Singhasari. Arca Ganesha yang terletak di Karangkates. Yang membuat arca ini menjadi sangat unik selain karena ukuran patungnya yang cukup tinggi adalah karena posisinya yang berdiri sedangkan sebagian besar arca Ganesha yang ditemukan di Indonesia memiliki posisi duduk. selain itu, arca ini juga terlihat berdiri di atas alas yang berpahatkan tengkorak, ciri khas aliran Bairawa Tantra.
Pemandangan sekitar bagus bisa melihat deretan Gunung Kelud.

(Translated by Google) Site location is easily accessible. Enter via Jl. bend. Sutami across the Karangkates Dam Park, past the Al Ihklas Mosque. Just keep going straight. Later on the left side of the road, you will see a large banyan tree that stands over the black stone fence that protects the statue. The atmosphere is cool, calm and relaxing. We can choose to approach the Ganesha statue from the right through the banyan tree or from the front up the stone stairs.

We will meet Mbah Gajah (the locals call this statue) standing facing North. Really stand up. Tall. Hugh. When entering from the right side, you will clearly see a chubby-bellied figure with short rounded legs and arms. Trunked. Really looks like an elephant. Standing elephant. When we approach from the front door, Mbah Gajah looks very calm. The closer you get, the more thrilling it gets. In his majesty, the Ganesha stands firm. Not stiff, but soft. You can only feel it when you see and touch it directly. Looking at it can feel exhilarating. It can also be depressing. How come. His whole body is decorated with skulls. Human skull. Including all the jewelry and even the motifs of the cloth she wears. The two hands in front grip the container. Also from the skull. Snake sling. live snake. The pedestal of Mbah Gajah was also a skull. There are nine pieces. The archaeologist said, the possibility of this statue made of white andesite stone was made by the Bhairawa Tantra school during the Singhasari Kingdom, when King Kertanegara was in power.

Mbah Gajah turns out to have a brother who now lives in a museum room in the Netherlands. He became an ambassador for the Singhasari statue. Grateful that Mbah Gajah was reluctant to go there and preferred to continue his service where it should be, in the middle of the Karangkates realm. At the same time it provides evidence of the path of religion and the achievement of the beauty of art in the Singhasari era to all of us in Indonesia.

Let's go over there...

Lokasi situs mudah diakses. Masuk lewat Jl. Bend. Sutami di seberang Taman Bendungan Karangkates, melewati Masjid Al Ihklas. Terus lurus saja. Nanti di sisi kiri jalan akan tampak pohon beringin besar yang berdiri menaungi pagar batu hitam yang melindungi arca. Suasananya sejuk, tenang, dan menenangkan. Kita bisa memilih mendekati arca Ganesha dari sebelah kanan lewat bawah pohon beringin atau dari arah depan naik tangga batu.

Kita akan bertemu Mbah Gajah (sebutan penduduk sekitar untuk arca ini) berdiri menghadap ke Utara. Benar-benar berdiri. Tinggi. Besar sekali. Saat masuk dari sisi kanannya, akan terlihat jelas sosok berperut tambun dengan kaki dan tangan yang membulat pendek. Berbelalai. Benar-benar mirip gajah. Gajah yang berdiri. Saat kita mendekat dari arah pintu depan, Mbah Gajah terlihat sangat tenang. Kian mendekat kian terasa menggetarkan. Dalam kebesarannya, sang Ganesha berdiri kokoh. Tidak kaku, tetapi terkesan lembut. Anda hanya bisa merasakannya saat melihat dan menyentuh langsung. Memandanginya bisa terasa melapangkan hati. Bisa pula menciutkan hati. Bagaimana tidak. Sekujur badannya dihiasi tengkorak. Tengkorak manusia. Termasuk semua perhiasan dan bahkan motif kain yang dipakainya. Kedua tangan yang di depan menggenggam wadah. Juga dari tengkorak. Selempangnya ular. Ular hidup. Tumpuan Mbah Gajah berdiri pun juga tengkorak. Ada sembilan buah. Kata arkeolog, kemungkinan arca yang terbuat dari batu andesit putih ini dibuat oleh aliran Tantra Bhairawa pada masa Kerajaan Singhasari, saat Raja Kertanegara berkuasa.

Mbah Gajah ternyata punya saudara yang kini tinggal di dalam ruangan museum di negeri Belanda sana. Dia menjadi duta seni arca Singhasari. Bersyukur Mbah Gajah enggan ikut ke sana dan lebih memilih meneruskan baktinya di tempat yang seharusnya, di tengah alam Karangkates. Sekaligus memberi bukti jalan religi dan pencapaian keindahan seni di masa Singhasari kepada kita semua di Indonesia.

Yuk mampir ke sana ...
