The Sukuh temple (candi) dates to the 15th century, and was one of the last major Hindu temples built in Java before Islamic rule took over the island. The style of temple is also quite distinct, since it diverges significantly from the older temples around Yogyakarta, which were more similar to the Indian style. The Sukuh temple was used for worshipping ancestors, gods (with statues and symbols of Garuda and Vishnu), and, especially, fertility. Hence the temple is still shrouded in mystery.
The temple is still used by a small Javanese Hindu community that lives on the slope of Lawu Mountain. These are one of the few Hindu communities which have preserved their Hindu religion in the face of Islamisation, thanks to their relative isolation.
Java had been telling me about a recent beating he took. He had been jumped by five geezers, and was beaten with sticks and baseball bats. The scar on the back of his head looks very nasty!
