Banyunibo Temple which means water falling-drip (in Javanese). Built around the 9th century during the time of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom. Built for worship Hariti, goddess of fertility in Buddha.
The temple is surrounded by various kinds of ornaments and relieves. This temple consists of one main temple facing west and is surrounded by 6 Perwara temples in form of stupa.
