This candi or temple divides into 2 part, right side and left side. In the right side there is a larger gate but some have collapsed, where on the back of this gate there is a page on the walls carved two temples. While to the left of the gate is the unfinished monastery building, most likely abandoned due to earthquake natural disasters. You can see three lingga in Candi Tebing Tegallinggah, the representations of Trimurti. Trimurti is the mean God of Hindu; those are Brahma God (the God of Creator), Wisnu God (the God of Maintenance) and Siwa God (the God of Destruction).
