Temples are called ''[[Candi of Indonesia|candi]]'' ({{IPA|id|tʃandi|pron}}) in [[Indonesia]], whether it is Buddhist or Hindu. A candi refers to a structure based on the Indian type of single-celled shrine, with a pyramidal tower above it ([[Meru tower]] in [[Bali]]), and a portico for entrance,<ref name="ReferenceA">Philip Rawson: The Art of Southeast Asia</ref> mostly built between the 7th to 15th centuries.<ref name="ReferenceA"/><ref>{{harvp|Soekmono|1995|p=1}}</ref> In Hindu [[Balinese architecture]], a ''candi'' shrine can be found within a ''[[Balinese temple|pura]]'' compound. The best example of Indonesian Javanese Hindu temple architecture is the 9th century [[Prambanan]] (Shivagrha) temple compound, located in Central Java, near [[Yogyakarta]]. This largest Hindu temple in Indonesia has three main prasad towers, dedicated to [[Trimurti]] gods. Shiva temple, the largest main temple is towering to 47 metre-high (154&nbsp;ft).
The term "candi" itself is believed was derived from ''[[Chandi|Candika]]'', one of the manifestations of the goddess [[Durga]] as the goddess of death.<ref>{{cite book | last =Soekmono | first =Dr R.| title =Pengantar Sejarah Kebudayaan Indonesia 2 | publisher =Penerbit Kanisius | year =1973 | location =Yogyakarta, Indonesia| pages =81 | url = | doi = | isbn = 978-979-413-290-6}}</ref>
