Scholars argue that Sukuh Temple was built for purification rituals to repel or release evil power that affects the life of an individual for having particular special characteristics. Another characteristic of pre-Hinduism shrines is that the most sacred place is located on the highest and rearmost part. Such shape is similar to stepped-mound that is characteristic of pre-Hinduism shrines. The influence of this pre-historic era is seen in the shape of Sukuh temple structure, which is a terraced-mound. The waning influence of Hinduism had given rise to the revival of local cultural practices of Megalithic era. The deviation seems to be resulting from the fact that this temple was built when the influence of Hinduism was waning. The book requires that a temple should be laid out on a square plan with the most sacred place located at the center. Unlike that of typical Hindu temples in Central Java, the architecture of Sukuh Temple is considered to be departing from requirements stated in Wastu Widya, a guide book for constructing Hindu shrines.

Sukuh is a Hindu temple, and was probably built in the end of the 15th century AD. In 1889, Verbeek performed inventory works on this temple, which was continued by Knebel and WF. Further researching works were conducted by Hoepermans between 18, and were reported in a book entitled Hindoe Oudheiden van Java. Sukuh Temple was further investigated by Van der Vlis in 1842, the results of which were reported in Van der Vlis’ book entitled Prove Eener Beschrijten op Soekoeh en Tjeto. This temple was discovered in damaged condition in 1815 by Johnson, then Resident of Surakarta during Raffles administration. The temple in constructed on an elevation of + 910 meters above sea level. We then discuss graduate studies in Southeast Asian history of astronomy, identify candidates we think worthy of entry into a hypothetical ‘Southeast Asian History of Astronomy Hall of Fame’, and end by discussing the structure of this book and the possibility of a follow-up volume.Sukuh Temple is located on the west side of Mount Lawu in Sukuh Hamlet of Berjo Village, Ngargoyoso Subdistrict, Karanganyar Regency in Central Java Province. For those who already are involved in or planning such research, we discuss the role that Working Groups and Project Groups of the International Astronomical Union can play in helping facilitate and foster such research, and review various conference, publication and workshop options.

We then ask how to trigger history of astronomy research in those SEAAN nations that currently are inactive. We then summarize English-language publications about Southeast Asian history of astronomy that we are aware of that have appeared since 2010, and we use bullet points to highlight the different types of research projects that we feel can most effectively be undertaken for the various countries belonging to the Southeast Asian Astronomy Network (SEAAN). In this short chapter we begin by introducing the History & Heritage Working Group of the Southeast Asian Astronomy Network and defining what we mean by ‘Southeast Asian astronomy’. We find that the Javanese Calendar is one day slower than the Hijriyah Calendar.

However, after 2010 CE this correction is no longer valid. We use 120-years correction for a difference cycle and number of leap years. Because Javanese Calendar is adopted from Hijriyah Calendar, both of two will have the same dates. This date is then converted from Solar Calendar to Javanese and Hijriyah.

We use three references for choosing the date of full Moon phase, namely Fred Espenak, NASA, and Stellarium application. Ceremony of Mapag Purnama is held every 13 rd to the night of 14 th of the Moon Javanese Calendar. The methods that we used are interviewing the villagers, including the customary leader of Ciptagelar Village, and doing a literature study. We study this activity in the way of Ethnoastronomy.

They have a welcoming ceremony for it, named Mapag Purnama. Ciptagelar villagers consider that a full Moon phase is a special and sacred thing. It has been established for almost 650 years. Ciptagelar Village is located at Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Early civilizations used several celestial objects to do their daily activities, like doing a traditional ceremony. Astronomy has been practiced for as long as humans have been looking at the sky.
