About 45 meters away from another gate, you see the temple of white stones, so that was called Batu Putih Candi, or the temple of white stones.
Around the square is the Temple of combustion. The temple is square (26 meters x 26 meters) with two terraces. The role of the church is burning the body as the name implies. About 10 meters from the burning of the temple, a terrace and a sacred pond.
A mysterious well, we'll see if you move to the south of the temple of combustion. As legend has it was probably named Amerta Mantana means holy water treated with charms.

This can be seen by the presence of Lingga and Yoni, the statue of Ganesh and plate with gold writing "About Rudra is swaha Namah" on it as a form of worship to Rudra as the other name Shiva. Hindu elements showed religious tolerance, which is reflected in the architectural works. In fact, as Rakai Panangkaran embraced Buddhism lived side by side with the Hindus.
