In this paper, the author compared Buddhist candis with Hindu candis in southern Central Java from the point of view of the symmetricalness of temple complexes. As a comparative analysis of those temples, it was learned that the symmetricalness of temple layouts in right and left directions, or also in four compass directions is highly regarded especially in Buddhist candis. Additionally, it may be said that this kind of symmetricalness is most appropriate for the rule of positioning images based on the principle of Javanese Tantric Buddhism. Contrary, as has already been examined by the author in another paper, most of the existing Hindu candis in Java have unsymmetrical temple complexes. From the facts described above, it is considered that the unsymmetricalness of Hindu temple complexes is based on the Hinduistic theoretical ideals. On the other hand, this conclusion may support the assumption that the unsymmetrical temple complexes of Hindu candis are constructed under the influence of the Hinduistic vastupurusamandala, concepts of Indian origin.
