Established gloriously in the middle of Sumateran jungle, the temples complex featuring the Buddhist religion inheritance apparently is keeping the undisclosed mystery, as the historical experts are still in different opinion on when is those temples actually established. Some stated around the 11th, 9th, 7th century, even some are of the opinion around the 4th century AD. Whichever is true, but it is clear that this temple is the treasure of the past time historical inheritance in Riau area and at the same time is the evidence that Buddhist religion once has developed in this area several centuries ago.
