ARJUNA TEMPLE : DIENG
The Dieng Plateau has a temple area of approximately 90 hectares. Arjunalah Temple Complex is the largest and most popular. Located in Dieng Kulon Village, Batur District, Banjarnegara Regency, the Arjuna Temple Complex has an area of about 1 hectare. In this complex, there are five temple buildings, namely Arjuna Temple, Semar Temple, Srikandi Temple, Puntadewa Temple, and Sembadra Temple. Besides Semar Temple, the other four temples are the main temples used as places of prayer. Judging from the shape and ornaments found in each temple, it is estimated that the four temples were built at different times. Arjuna Temple was the earliest built, while Sembadra Temple was the last one. This estimate is based on differences in temple building styles. Arjuna Temple is still very thick with the style of temples from India. Meanwhile, at Sembadra Temple, the influence of local culture is very strong.
The Arjuna Temple complex is used as a ceremony for cutting dreadlocks which are a native of Dieng. This ceremony is carried out every year in the Dieng Culture Festival. Dreadlocks children must have their dreadlocks cut so they don't get unlucky. When this event takes place, many tourists will flock to this temple complex.
When entering the temple entrance. Tourists will all go down the stairs and walk on a fairly long road. On the right and left will grow shady trees. Like a garden that presents a coolness. Moreover, the cold air of the Dieng plateau gives a different impression.
The surrounding scenery is no less beautiful. Where, the blue sky will look so awesome. Then, the expanse of hills and mountains that looks like a painting. Impressive indeed, seeing the beauty of God's creation.

Arjuna Temple and its Sacracity
Another Tourist attraction located at Dieng Area.
This entrance is different with Taman Wisata Dieng. This Attraction very near to the Dieng Main Street.
This ticket same with Kawah Sikidang Ticket. So if you already buy ticket at Kawah Sikidang then no need to pay any entrance fee to enter this site.
The view is good. Good place to relax at the afternoon. Better to visit around 5pm, because it will be less people and the weather much cooler. No need to rent Sarong for those who come with short pants as the rental sarong is closing. Along the way, you can buy Dieng Potato. It cost Rp 10,000 rupiah for one portion. It looks like baby potato for foreigner.
