This temple has a staircase punden structure. Consisting of six square yard, three circular courtyard and a peak. At every court there is a small stupa distribution. This court can describe clearly what we call the philosophy of Mahayana. In a Buddhist book shows ten bodhisattva levels to achieve perfection.Lowest level court of the temple called Kamadhatu, that life is still dominated by low passions (kama). Most of this section is covered stone to strengthen the foundation of the temple, but we still can read some relief at this level. In this level there are 120 stories Kammawibhangga.
Four floor there is a relief on the walls called Ruphadatu a rectangular floor. In this level of people deemed to have been able to free himself from lust. This level represents the lower nature and the natural top. In this section there are Buddhist statues found at the upper alcove ballustrade or hallway.
Starting the fifth floor down to the seven walls of the temple had been without a relief, and a circular temple floor. This is called the level Arupadhatu (which means it does not form and intangible). At this level, someone is said to be free from all desires and commitments, which include forms and shapes, but have not reached nirvana (perfection). Arca contained in this level was in the stupa which have holes, so that we can see vaguely from the outside.
The highest level is the stupa. The biggest stupa in the temple does not have holes, so that the closed meeting. First ever found a statue of Buddha is not perfect in it, called unfinished Buddhist thought is Adibuddha. But that is refuted by archaeologists, they say that the statue was just a fault gouge. The archaeologists also found it was in the stupa temple equipment.
