context_page_description: Badut is an 8th-century Hindu candi located in Tidar area around 5 kilometres west from the center of Malang city. This andesite stone structure is located in Karang Besuki village, Dau subdistrict, Malang Regency, East Java Indonesia.
  Despite its location in East Java, unlike other temples near Malang — such as Singosari and Kidal Temple, this temple follows the older Candi style of Central Java. Estimated was built in 760 CE making this temple the oldest temple in East Java.
context_section_description: Indonesian historian Purbatjaraka connected this temple with an inscription discovered in Merjosari village, the Dinoyo inscription. This inscription was written in Sanskrit using old Javanese script with chandrasengkala (chronogram): nayana vayu ras which corresponds to the year 682 Saka or 760 CE, mentioning about 
  King Gajayana the ruler of Kanjuruhan Kingdom. However, the temple connection with Dinoyo inscription is still in discussion among historians, due to lack of strong connection between the inscription and the temple.
  This temple ruin was discovered in 1921 in the form of a mound of stone and soil. The first person to report the existence of the Badut temple was Maureen Brecher, a Dutch controller who worked in Malang. The Badut Temple was restored in 1925-1926 under the supervision of B. De Haan from the Archaeological Service of the Dutch East Indies. From the results of the excavations carried out at that time it was known that the temple building had completely collapsed, except for the foot parts which still intact.
