Candi Cetho (Temple) is a Hindu fertility temple built on the slopes of the mountain Gunung Lawu, about 35km east of Solo (Surakarta) in central Java, Indonesia. Built in the 15th century, Candu Cetho has some similarities with nearby Candi Sukuh.
We visited the temple in June 2002 and the weather was almost exactly the same as this second visit in December 2006. It was clear and sunny in the lowlands but it became quite misty as we climbed higher through tea plantations. We arrived at the temple in a downpour. We borrowed umbrellas but we only got halway up the temple before we were beaten by the rain and fear of falling on the slippery stone floors. I managed a few photographs.
