As the Śrāddha (funeral) ritual and the temple consecration ceremony were normally performed 12 years after the demise, the construction of this temple should be finished at 1260.
Art	This temple is architecturally typical to Eastern Javanese period. The temple is always small with one sanctum resting on triple bases. The central door is normally crowned by the huge ferocious Kala face.

The body of the temple is normally decorated with the band in the center, unique to Eastern Javanese art. The superstructure composes of the series of bands punctuated by the row of 5 miniature temples.
