Candi Sari is the rectangular temple which is unique to the later phase of Central Javanese art. This type of temple has never been found before in the earlier period. Inside the temple there are three rooms in double storey. The wooden floor of the second tier does not survive nowadays. This kind of temple seems to be the indigenous type, possible to be the temple for 1 Buddha image and 2 Bodhisattva attendants in the central and the side chambers respectively. Another example of the rectangular temple is Candi Plaosan.
