This temple area for many years has been a public funeral by the people around this place. But, now has restored, the banyan tree is cut down and the graves moved. The temple was split in two exactly the same shape are built by using materials of red brick. According to some article the temple was restored in the 1990 by using bricks and coupled with the lightning rod. Wringin Lawang gate is believed to be one of the entrance to the complex of Majapahit Palace. The gate is commonly called " Candi Bentar " ( the temple is torn in two ). However, it is not a temple but the gate which is similar right to the temple, but as if split into equal parts, from top to bottom the same shape and the top is not closed.
