Abstract

Dwārapāla is a guardian statue depicted as a giant and is usually found in a temple or palace complex. The term dwārapāla comes from the word dvar (Sanskrit), which means entrance/gate, and pala means guard, so the overall meaning is the guard of the gate or entrance. Dwārapāla is depicted in a standing and jèngkèng position (Javanese: sitting with one knee raised). Dwārapāla is placed as a gatekeeper of sacred buildings/places and is related to the concept that the temple is a replica of Mount Meru, the abode of gods, demi-gods, and their guardians. Dwārapāla as the protector of the deity’s place, and his position is between the sacred and profane domain or is on the boundary of the less sacred-sacred areas. The dwārapāla statue in this article is an insitu finding during Adan-Adan Temple research in 2017, made of andesite stone, in a standing position, and has a measurement of 200 cm high and 90 cm wide. This study aimed to determine the statue’s relative dating and art style based on its iconographic characteristics. The research method used is an iconographic study and conducting a descriptive-comparative study, describing and comparing it with other dwārapāla statues from different periods in Indonesia. From this comparison, several characteristics are obtained that indicate the relative dating and art style of the dwārapāla statues of Adan-Adan Temple.
