Makara — Storia e analisi

Questa bestia mitica, insieme a una seconda figura simile, originariamente fiancheggiava l'ingresso principale al Candi Bubrah, il santuario a sud del complesso buddista di Candi Sewu. Il tronco di questo makara si trasforma gradualmente in un mostro simile a un leone, mentre un uomo emerge dalla sua bocca.
