Close to Chandi Mendut is another small temple of similar design known as Chandi Pawon;² it is raised on a platform 28 ft. square and 5 ft. 6 in. high. The plan of the temple is cruciform, being 17 ft. in its extreme dimension, and when perfect was probably about 30 ft. high. It was apparently surmounted by two storeys with eight miniature dâgabas above the ground storey and a large dâgaba forming the summit.
