Abstract

Candi Sukuh is a sacred temple complex shaped like step-pyramid structure with three terraces, which was used on late period of Majapahit Kingdom, around 15th century. Every terrace is decorated with various reliefs, either ornamental reliefs or narrative reliefs. The tale of the narrative reliefs had been studied by some researchers, but they had different opinion about it. There are also allegations on the tale from those reseachers of some other narrative reliefs, and narrative reliefs that have never been studied before. There are 13 carved stones of those narrative reliefs, with one or more panels on each stone. Each relief may consist of various relief components, such as figures, animals, plants, buildings, weapons, and other things. Those components are compared with other studies of relief on Majapahit period to obtain early identifications of the relief. After that, each component is arranged to form 18 tale scenes. The scenes are compared with Ancient Javanese texts or other sacred building reliefs from Majapahit period, so that the source of the tale and particular scene of the tale are identified.

Abstract

Abstract Among more than 160 Gaṇeśa statues found in Indonesia, only one is depicted in a standing position on one leg. Based on the positional form, this Gaṇeśa statue with inventory number 198 of the National Museum of Indonesia collection can be referred to as Gaṇeśa ekapāda. Several previous studies have shown differences of opinion in identifying the depiction. This study attempts to clearly identify the depiction and meaning of Gaṇeśa ekapāda by using iconographic and semiotic approaches. In the iconographic analysis, the statue is described based on its distinctive attributes and positional form. The depiction is then compared with ancient Hindu texts and with other Hindu-Buddhist statues and reliefs. The ekapāda position more closely depicts a form of severe austerities. From Peirce's semiotic perspective, this statue functions as a sign that has two main referents through icon and index associations. The resulting layers of meaning show that this statue has a complex symbolic meaning. The statue of Gaṇeśa ekapāda can be interpreted to represent Gaṇeśa as the giver of boons to his followers who practice discipline and perseverance in worship. In addition, this study also explores the relation of this statue to the social and religious dynamics in ancient Javanese society.
