Jamu Ma'am Up Level

Continuing Travel Tour

And not long after their order came too. White rice, Iga soup and hot ginger milk have been served by the restaurant waiter right in front of them.

"Let's eat sweetheart" Invite Bima who can't wait to eat it.

"Yes, mas. Pray first" said Sri who reminded.

And they ate - the food that was before them, but they prayed first.

Then they finished their breakfast, and had a little chat about where the location would be tomorrow.

"Where are we going, ma'am?" ask the curious Sri.

"Cetho Temple, good as it looks like the scenery" Bima replied while showing the following photo of the article about Cetho Temple.

"Origin of the name of the temple that stands on a height of 1496 masl, taken from the name of the village that became the building, namely the Village Cetho. The word “Cetho” itself comes from the Javanese language which means “See clearly”":Sri's speech read out the article she read on her phone, and Bima listened to it.

"Why can it be called Ceto Village?” ask Bima curious.

"Because in this village, anyone will be able to see clearly the beauty of the scenery that lies beneath it and in the distance in the form of a stretch of green Kemuning Tea Plantation, which is green, rice fields belong to the locals and beautiful scenery set against Mount Merapi, Mount Merbabu, Mount Sumbing, Gunung Lawu Back and a number of hills and other mountain children." replied Sri who then read the article again.

"Beautiful scenery with cool air typical of this mountainous area will make tourists feel at home to linger in this place. Moreover, the environment in the temple complex area also presents an instagenic panorama, making many interesting spots to be used as a background photo."Sri Saying.

"In addition to the beauty of the panorama presented, the mystery that envelops the temple complex area and the myths that develop in the midst of the community is also an attraction. It is not separated from the existence of the temple which until now is still used as a place of worship and place of pilgrimage by Hindus, used for a place of asceticism or mediated by adherents of the faith, and used to hold a routine ceremony every 1st Syuro and every 6 months on the anniversary of Wuku Medangsia." Continue said Sri who is still reading the article Cetho Temple.

"Various spiritual activities are carried out in the tourist complex, because this temple is said to be built with the aim to be used as a place for the Ruwatan Ceremony, which is a traditional ceremony for purification from humiliation caused by disease, slavery, and other diseases, curses, life tribulations and others. So the mystery that surrounds this area has nothing to do with ghost stories, but rather the magical atmosphere emitted by the aura of the building." continued Sri.

"So some kind of place of prayer huh?" bima said.

"Yes, and because it is located at the foot of Mount Lawu, making Cetho also often visited by climbers, because not far from the temple complex there is a basecamp for climbers who want to go to the summit of Mount Lawu. The path and map to Puncak Lawu via Cetho is indeed farther away, which has a distance of about 10 km. When compared with the Cemoro Sewu and Cemoro Kandang lines which are only about 6 km away. But for climbers who want to enjoy a different atmosphere, this Cetho path is often used as an option." Reply Sri.

"Among the various interesting activities that can be done in the tourist complex, the main activity that should not be missed is to learn about the history of the past through reliefs, statues, statues, ornaments and things that envelop the building." Said Sri who continued reading the article.

'Trus?" bima asked while drinking his milk.

"The terrace at Cetho Temple is seven terraces that symbolize human life, which in Hindu belief has seven levels. The seven levels include Bhurloka, Bhuvarloka, Svarloka, Caturloka and Janaloka, Tapaloka and Saptaloka" Sri continued.

"Between the terraces of one another are connected by two roads and one entrance. The lowest terrace symbolizes the low degree of human beings because it is controlled by lust while the highest terrace is considered sacred and most important because it symbolizes humans who are free from lust so that they can be separated from the law karma." Said Sri who stopped for a while to drink, his drink.

"At the gate on the East side, can be found a gate decorated with stone statues named Arca Nyai Gemang Arum, on the South side of the first terrace there is a building without walls or only a foundation with a height of 2 meters. Inside there is an arrangement of stones and traces of offerings that indicate that this place is still used as a place of pilgrimage and worship.' continued Sri who read the article.

"In the building complex, visitors can also find some statues that are mostly intact and reliefs that carry the story of Sudamala and Garudeya. The story contains the meaning of the human spirit to be able to free itself from the catastrophe experienced."Sri Saying.

"Is there a restriction or prohibition? " Task Bima who is curious.

"Wait what else, let's go there!" invite Bima who is curious about the tourist spot.

"Yes, oiya we should wear a thicker jacket. Because the air there is colder than in this hotel" said Sri who informed.

"Oh, okay!" bima replied who then rose from his seat and called the waiter of the restaurant.

"Servant!" shouted Bima, and the floater who had been serving Bima and Sri came to approach the two.

"Can I help you?" ask the waiter.

"How much food and drink we ordered" Bima replied and the waiter immediately counted and told Bima.

After paying him, Bima and Sri. set their feet back to the room and prepared something to go for a walk.

Bima rented a motorcycle provided by the hotel. But previously hotel employees warned Bima to be careful, because the trip to Cetho Temple winding and uphill.

After that Bima rented a motorcycle for their trip which would be stressful, because the road uphill.

And their journey on a motorcycle began. At moderate speed, Bima rode the motorcycle leaving the hotel.

And true as the hotel employee explained, if the trip to Ceto Temple is very uphill and winding. But it is a challenge for Bima and Sri.

Soon they had arrived in front of the Cetho Temple area. And efforts do not betray the results, paid off already hardship and fatigue at the time of leaving earlier..

They were presented with such an amazing sight.
