This photograph, taken by Isidore Kinsbergen in 1867, captures a bas-relief depicting a scene from the story of Krishna, located on the southern side of the Candi Panataran temple complex. The image showcases the intricate details of the relief carving, highlighting the skill of the unknown artist. The photograph offers a glimpse into the religious significance of the temple and the stories it held for the people of Java. The relief, with its depiction of Krishna's story, would have served as a visual and narrative element for the worshippers, making the temple a sacred space for their faith. This image, along with other photographs by Kinsbergen, provides valuable documentation of the rich cultural heritage of Java during the 19th century.
