Abstract

The present study is an archaeological approach on several of the candis that have been unearthed in Kedah. These candis were associated with the Ancient Kedah, a polity that once located in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula. Archaeological surveys and literature study have been conducted on several of the candis such as at, Site 31 Permatang Pasir, Candi Kampung Baru Archaeological Site, Site 32/34 and Site 33 of Kampung Sungai Mas, Site 7, Site 12 and 13, Site 16, Site 17, Site 18, Site 19, Site 22 and Site 23 of Pengkalan Bujang. The location of the candis were built in location that today have become a malay village, paddy field and some were built on top of a hill, while others were erected near a river. The surrounding environment played an important role in the construction of these ancient monuments. The builders have taken their surrounding besides Sanskrit texts as a factor in determining the suitable location of their candi.
