MAKARA & GUPOLO







                                On  the  front  side  of  the  building  are  Makara  and  Gupolo.  These  sculptural


                                ornaments are usually found in temples that function as guardians and protectors


                                from danger. Not only that, Makara is also related to water so this one ornament is


                                also interpreted as a symbol of fertility and prosperity.
