If we always identify with the temples of Central Java, then this assumption is no longer true, because Malang also have them. A temple built to commemorate the death of King Singosari , King Kertanegara, has become one of the resorts in Malang. This temple is a temple Singosari , or temple "Singhasari", which is building a place of worship the king or the king's ancestors.
Located in a cool valley, in a quiet village, among the Tengger Mountains and Mount Arjuna, Singosari temple can be reached about 40 minutes from the city of Malang, precisely in the village Candirenggo, Singosari Sub Malang (about 10 km north of the city of Malang .)
A historical view has been greeted us before getting to this temple.Because not far from this temple we will find two large statues of nearly 3.70 m tall is named Dwarapala, still standing in place of the original, the custodians of the road leading to the enshrinement.

In the field found a framed inscription of 1351 AD From the writings in this inscription historians concluded that the temple Singosari Kertanegara closely associated with the king of the Kingdom Singosari . The building was probably established in conjunction with sraddha ceremony, a ceremony to commemorate 12 years after King's death in 1304 AD,in the reign of Raden Wijaya, the king of Majapahit I.Other notes from Kakawin Nagarakertagama Prapanca essay, stanza XLII-XLIII, mentions that the King Kertanegara is a king who was very respected. Written that he had mastered all kinds of knowledge such as Sadguna (the science of state administration), Tatwopadeso (the science of nature), law-abiding, steadfast in carrying out the provisions relating to religious worship of Jina (apageh ing jinabrata), persevere in running prayogakrya ( tantric rites.) Kertanegara is the last king of the Kingdom of Singosari who ruled in 1268-1292 AD He was killed in a revolt led by Jayakatwang , king bawahaannya. Singosari temple was built to commemorate his death.
