One evidence of the kingdom of Majapahit inscriptions that might be a description of the high civilization in the era of the Majapahit in Candi Ceto. It is said Candi Ceto believed to be the location of the escape and muksanya Last Majapahit king Brawijaya V. Ceto name itself comes from the Javanese language, which means clear, some interpret clearly because of the high temple position because it can see the view unobstructed.

Candi Ceto Ceto hamlet located in the village of the District Gumeng coral Jendawi Anyar, Central Java, Ceto has a similar form with any adjacent Sukuh distance of approximately 11 kilometers only difference Ceto higher position is approximately 1,496 meters above sea level. Based symbols years in found Ceto temple built in 1475 AD with the difference of 40 years Sukuh founded in 1437 AD.

Candi Ceto
Candi Ceto at first found by van de Vlies in 1842 the temple was at that time just a stone ruins on the 14-storey sediment extends from west to east. The structure is terraced patio riddling their native archipelago syncretism beliefs with Hinduism, the restoration will be undertaken by Sujono Humardani one trust President Soeharto in the 70s in the suspect lot to change the original structure of the temple.
The new building restoration result of which is a magnificent gate in front of the temple pavilion building of several sculptures in wood and building core sakralkan cuboid at peak punden.
The main building of Candi Ceto seem to differ from the temple in general, adopt a structure punden tune the main sanctuary building at the highest point. Impression of their worship of ancestral spirits was getting stronger, Candi temple in the area around Mount Lawu like Ceto and was impressed by the unique tribe. The form is almost the same as the virtual nation holy building raises many unsolved mysteries.
Formerly in the New Order Ceto temple complex is only utilized by certain people only. Now the Hindu religious pilgrims from Bali many come to worship that was also for the followers of indigenous beliefs Java or kejawen. The pilgrims believe Ceto temple is sacred buildings inherited ancestors of Majapahit.
Ceto temple consists of nine terraces, the first terrace is a temple courtyard in the outermost position where we can see the wonderful views towards the sunset. Some statues guard of stones placed in front of the gates of its unique shape and figure that unlike Java rise to various polemics in the community. In front of the main gate of the temple there is a statue Ceto unusual in general, as the statue using headgear ear ornament to ornament hand
The first terrace is located on the east side to the west of the temple is getting higher position every terrace connected by gates and footpaths are getting smaller and steeper philosophy is to achieve a spiritual perfection in need of struggle that is not easy. Second terrace in the trust of citizens as a petilasan Ki Ageng Krincing Wesi ancestral village communities CETO.

Furthermore, on the second terrace, there is a relief composition of rocks on land that forms the specific symbols when viewed from the terrace at the top expanse of rocks arranged to form the eagle spread its wings. In Hindu mythology the eagle in trust as a vehicle of Lord Vishnu who symbolizes the world over. While the arrangement of stones that make up the Tortoise is a symbol of Lord Vishnu symbolizes the underworld. At the end of the two wings of the eagle are symbols shaped form of the sun so even in the head garudanya these signs clearly directing Surya Majapahit emblem. Sightings symbol of fertility and the process of creating a soul in sight in the reliefs meeting Lingga and Yomi large enough that makes Candi Ceto often dubbed as Lanang Temple or Temple Men. The existence of Lingga and Yoni in the holy building is a symbol of the figure of Shiva and his wife Uma, Lingga and Yoni in sakralkan because it is considered also as a symbol of prosperity.
Location Candi Ceto is far from the center of the kingdom of Majapahit in East Java position was at an altitude slopes of Mount Lawu Central Java, so it is difficult to reach. It could be the existence of Candi Ceto be indicative of displacement of a group of people to a location more conducive due to the political changes that occurred at the end of the greatness of Majapahit.
Period community Ceto temple built in the suspect is a period in which the influence of Hindu Shiva and beliefs in ancestors was so strong. They built the temple as a place peruatan by displaying puppet story as found in the fourth terrace.

Relief Sudamala give exact instructions on the function of sacred buildings in Ceto where in langsungkan worship ceremony intended to rid themselves of the bad karma to reach consciousness.
In the fifth and sixth terrace Candi Ceto there is a pavilion that used to rest or prepare for a religious ceremony. It seems clear that this pavilion is the result of the renovation of new buildings.
