Candi Kalasan, which stands in the Prambanan Plain, seems to have been built by the Sailendra Dynasty and to be a temple dedicated to Tara, built on top of an older temple with the same dedication. It appears to have been built in the late 8th/early 9th century. The original main statue of either Tara or the Buddha may have been as large as 6 metres tall, but has disappeared by now. The temple was restored between 1927 and 1939.
