From Dieng Plateau with Love : Season 2 (Budaya dan Candi Dataran Tinggi Dieng)
Dataran
Tinggi Dieng, dengan semua ragam budaya dan keadaan alam yang sangat
indah mengugah semua Petualang untuk menjadikan tempat ini menjadi salah
satu jejak yang harus di torehkan di antara semua tempat yang menarik.
Setelah sedikit mengulas tentang Dataran Tinggi Dieng (Dieng Plateau) tentang alam,
sejenak untuk lebih menjelajah tentang budaya dan berbagai macam
penginggalan sejarah yang sangat memukau dan luar biasa untuk
disaksikan. Tidak ada salahnya sebentar untuk menenggok tentang Dataran
Tinggi Dieng. Dieng adalah dataran tinggi di Jawa Tengah, yang merupakan wilayah Kabupaten Banjarnegara dan sebagian masuk di Kabupaten Wonosobo. Letaknya hanya beberapa kilometer ke arah barat dari kompleks gunung kembar Gunung Sindoro dan Gunung Sumbing. Nama Dieng sendiri berasal dari Bahasa Kawi (jawa kuno) : “di” yang bermakna “tempat” atau “gunung” dan “Hyang” yang bermakna Dewa. Maka Dieng bisa berarti daerah pegunungan tempat para dewa dan dewi bersemayam.
Dataran Tinggi Dieng selain alam yang indah,
beberapa tempat menarik yang berkait dengan budaya dan candi bisa
didapatkan di Dieng. Tempat tersebut berkumpul dalam satu komplek
disekitar Kejajar. Sebelum mengulas tentang candi ada beberapa tempat
tentang alam yang sangat bagus untuk dikunjungi, simak dulu.
Goa Jaran dan Goa Sumur, Goa Jaran dan Goa Sumur merupakan obyek yang terdapat disekitar kawasan Telaga warna.
Goa jaran bentuknya sangat sempit sehingga tidak cukup muat ketika 2
orang berpapasan ketika dalam goa. Goa ini cenderung terbuka di
bandingkan dengan goa-goa yang lain seperti goa semar
dan gua sumur. Bisa jadi goa ini mempunyai ujung yang berada di sebelah
belakangnya. Memang beberapa orang mencoba untuk masuk, dilihat dari
beberapa jejak kaki yang terdapat di mulut gua hingga agak masuk ke
dalam goa. Walaupun aktivitas tersebut tidak terlalu di anjurkan karena
ketidaktauan medan goa. Sementara Goa sumur juga tertutup untuk umum,
pintu goa yang di kunci rapat sedemikan rupa sehingga Petualang hanya
bisa melihat dari mulut gua. Namun itu tidak menjadi masalah karena
memang kondisi Goa yang sangat gelap dan sempit untuk menjelajah masuk.
Toh keindahan alam telaga warna dan Telaga Pengilon bisa menjadi pengobat yang sangat manjur.
Kawah Candradimuka.
Kawah ini letaknya agak jauh dari Kejajar dan komplek candi.
Candradimuka merupakan nama kawah dari cerita pewayangan mahabharata
dalam kisah Gatotkaca Lahir. Dimana dalam cerita tersebut, kawah
candradimuka letaknya di atas gunung dan sangat panas, yang digunakan
untuk tempat pengemblengan (drill) Gatotkaca muda.
Hampir sama seperti cerita tersebut maka Kawah Candradimuka juga berada
di tempat tinggi dan sangat panas karena mengeluarkan asap belerang dari
kawahnya. Kawah Candradimuka berbentuk memanjang dan mengikuti aliran
sungai. Kawah ini berasal dari sesar yang mengeluarkan uap panas, air
panas, belerang dan lumpur. Aktivitas pemanasan berasal dari hidrotermal
sisa gunung Jimat yang diperkirakan tidak aktif lagi ketika jaman
kuarter tengah. Kawah ini sangat mirip dengan kawah yang berada di Candi Gedong Songo Ungaran.
Hampir
sama dengan kawah Sikidang, yang mengeluarkan asap pada bebatuan
sekitarnya dan memunculkan air panas yang berbau belerang. Kawah
Candradimuka juga menunjukan aktivitas yang sama. Untuk mencapai Kawah
Candradimuka tidak di anjurkan untuk memakai mobil (daily car). Kondisi ketika terakhir penulis kesana (2011) jalannya memang sangat tidak layak untuk dilewati kecuali kendaraan bermotor roda 2
dan sejenis jeep, itupun kendaraannya harus benar-benar dalam kondisi
yang fit dan prima. Petualangpun harus ekstra hati-hati dan sabar ketika
hendak menuju kesana. Jalannya merupakan jalanan berbatu yang sangat
keras dan kasar. Tikungan yang tajam dan menanjak juga merupakan
hambatan yang menarik untuk diperhatikan. Beberapa truk pengangkut
pupuk juga lalu lalang menghantarkan dari bawah ke atas gunung, memang
jalanan ini sangat layak untuk sejenis kendaraan seperti truk.
Sumur Jalatunda.
Hanya beberapa menit dari komplek utama dan Kejajar, petualang bisa
menemukan sumur berwarna hijau lumut dan besar. Cukup mudah untuk menuju
ke Sumur Jalatunda, jalanan yang layak dan mulus untuk dilewati semua
pengendara. Untuk tiket masukpun murah hanya sekitar Rp. 3.000,- dan
ditambah biaya parkir. Hanya melangkah melewati tangga beberapa meter
Petualang bisa mendapati sebuah sumur yang sangat eksotis. Diperkirakan
sumur ini juga merupakan sebuah cekungan kawah air panas hanya saja
sudah mengalami masa aktif sehingga hanya tersisa genangan air yang
tidak panas. Karena bentuknya memang mirip sumur makan Petualang tidak
bisa masuk mendekati sumur dan hanya bisa menikmati keindahan sumur dari
atas bibir sumur saja. Tidak masalah bukan, pemandangan disekitarnya
juga apik untuk dilihat.
Walaupun menjadi tempat andalan Dataran
Tinggi Dieng, Sumur Jalatunda tidak terlalu ramai seperti di Dieng 1.
Bisa jadi karena letaknya yang relatif sangat jauh dari Kejajar
dibandingkan tempat yang lainnya. Di sumur Jalatunda memang tidak
seperti tempat yang lain bebas melihat dari berbagai sisi. Sementara di
sumur Jalatunda sendiri hanya disediakan ruangan sekitar 10 meter
sebagai tempat untuk melihat keadaan sumur Jalatunda tersebut.
Candi-Candi Di Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Candi
merupakan tempat untuk melakukan persembahan dan berdoa kepada dewa
kala itu. Beberapa prasasti yang ditemukan menunjukan bahwa masyarakat
ketika itu merupakan penganut Siwa. Salah satunya adalah prasasti
Widihati yang ditemukan di Gunung Pangonan. Prasasti ini menorehkan
beberapa coretan kecil bahwa tanah di Dieng merupakan Sima (tanah
merdeka), maksudnya adalah hasil bumi diperuntukkan untuk Siwa. Dilihat
dari bentuknya hampir semua candi di Dataran Tinggi Dieng merupakan
candi Hindu. Hal itu bisa dilihat dari bentuknya yang mengkerucut kecil
ke atas dan beberapa ornamen yang berada di dalamnya. Berbeda dengan
kabanyakan bentuk candi-candi Budha yang tersebar di Jawa, dimana bentuk
candi Budha lebih cenderung datar dan melebar walaupun mengkerucut ke
atas seperti candi Borobudur di Magelang dan Candi Sari di Jogjakarta.
Ciri khas bentuk kebudayaan candi hindu adalah ornamen yang menghiasi bangunan candi tersebut seperti pipi tangga yang berada di kanan dan kiri anak tangga. Makara,
adalah hiasan yang berada di sebelah kanan dan kiri bawah letaknya
berada di pintu masuk. Kala, merupakan ornamen yang berada persis di
atas pintu candi biasanya bentuknya wajah raksasa. Yoni dan Lingga,
Yoni merupakan pengambaran dari aspek feminim atau wanita sementara
Lingga merupakan simbol dari maskulin lelaki dimana keduanya merupakan
pengambaran atas kesuburan dan simbol penciptaan, yoni dan Lingga
tersebut bermakna bahwa di tanah tersebut berharap untuk selalu mendapat
kesuburan. Biasanya Yoni dan Lingga ditempatkan dalam satu tempat
berada di dalam tengah candi sementara di antara keduanya terdapat
aliran air di bawahnya yang disebut dengan sumuran. Selain itu ciri yang lain adanya menara sudut yang berada di atas pojok 4 bagian dari badan candi bersebelahan dengan relung atap candi (atasnya kala). Juga kemuncak yang merupakan ujung paling atas sebuah candi.
Candi Bima.
Bentuknya sangat besar dan tinggi, candi ini berbeda bentuknya dengan
candi-candi di Dataran Tinggi Dieng yang lainnya yang mengkerucut kecil
ke atas. Sementara candi Bima lebih datar di bagian atas. Candi Bima
merupakan candi yang sangat tua, diperkirakan dibangun sekitar abad ke 7
sampai 8. Dilihat dari bentuknya candi Bima sangat dipengaruhi oleh
kebudayaan India. Bentuk candi Bima hampir mirip dengan candi
Bubhaneswar yang berada di India. Bentuknya yang lebih cenderung kotak
diyakini merupakan hasil perkembangan dari kuil dengan bentuk shikara (menara bertingkat).
Candi
Bima letaknya sangat dekat dengan Kejajar. Petualang akan menemukan
candi ini ketika hendak menuju ke kawah Sikidang persis di pertigaan
antara komplek candi Arjuna dan Kawah Sikidang.
Candi Bima ini hanya berdiri sendiri berjauhan dengan candi-candi yang
lain yang berada di Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Walaupun begitu candi Bima
sangat eksotis dan menarik, bentuk dan arsitektur yang sangat mengah
merupakan nilai tersendiri dari sebuah bangunan sejarah. Pintu candi
bima yang berbeda dengan candi yang lain juga menjadi keunikan
tersendiri. Beberapa Petualang lebih banyak melewatkan situs candi Bima
ini, sehingga terkesan menjadi situs candi yang tidak terlalu fenomenal.
Candi Gatotkaca.
Hampir sama dengan ayahnya, candi Bima. Candi Gatotkaca juga memiliki
ciri yang sangat unik dan berbeda dengan candi yang lain. Hal itu nampak
berbeda dilihat dari ciri-ciri candi Hindu kebanyakan yang mengkerucut
(kemuncak) ke atas. Dilihat dari bantuknya candi Gatotkaca besar dan
kotak seperti situs Bima namun lebih kecil dan ramping. Candi ini mudah
ditemukan karena letaknya persis di pinggir jalan berseberangan dengan
Museum Kaliasa yang berada di depannya. Letaknya juga berada di pintu
masuk candi komplek candi Arjuna.
Sama dengan kondisi ayahnya, candi Gatotkaca juga bukan merupakan
tempat pilihan utama dari Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Walaupun begitu, candi
Gatotkaca sangat indah untuk dilewatkan begitu saja oleh para Petualang.
Candi Setiyaki.
Candi ini hanya beberapa meter dari candi Gatotkaca dan Komplek candi
Arjuna. Apabila petualang hendak menuju komplek candi Arjuna,disarankan
untuk mampir melihat eloknya candi Setiyaki. Bentuknya lebih persegi dan
kecil dibandingkan dengan candi Gatotkaca. Beberapa bangunan candi ini
nampaknya telah tidak berada di tempatnya, entah belum di temukan atau
di bawa ke museum. Candi Setiyaki merupakan perpaduan yang khas,
bentuknya kotak namun cenderung mengkerucut ke atas. Mirip dengan situs
candi Gebang yang berada di Jogjakarta.
Untuk menuju candi Setiyaki memang harus melangkah dan berjalan kaki
lebih jauh. Bukan jadi masalah, terik matahari yang silau terkalahkan
dengan sejuknya alam dan udara Dieng.
Candi Arjuna.
Komplek candi Arjuna berada persis di tengah Kejajar bersebelahan
dengan Candi Gatotkaca, Museum Kaliasa, Candi Setiyaki dan Desa Kejajar.
Candi ini berjumlah 5 buah dengan arsitektur yang sangat indah. Bentuk
candi arjuna sangat umum di temui pada ciri khas kebudayaan candi Hindu
di Jawa. Jumlanya yang banyak menjadikan candi Arjuna sangat menarik
untuk di kujungi. Persamaan jumlah dan bentuk candi arjuna bisa di
temukan di situs Candi Gedong Songo Ungaran
tepatnya berada di candi ke-3 dan candi Ijo yang berada di Jogjakarta.
Dimana di Candi 3 Gedong Songo nampak 2 buah candi Utama didepanya
terdapat tempat pemujaan yang lain yang berbentuk balok persegi panjang.
Sementara Candi Ijo juga nampak sama dengan 1 buah candi utama yang
besar di depannya terdapat 3 candi kecil yang berbentuk kotak namun
lebih mengkerucut ke atas.
Candi Arjuna merupakan tempat utama
perjalanan ke Dataran Tinggi Dieng, istilanya candi arjuna menjadi
persingahan yang utama dibandingkan dengan tempat yang lain. Candi ini
berada di lingkaran Dieng 1. Dikelilingi oleh danau dan persawahan
kentang menambah daya tarik tersendiri. Tempatnya sangat bersih dan
nyaman untuk di kunjungi.
Dieng Plateau Theater (DPT).
Merupakan pengambaran sederhana tentang Dataran Tinggi Dieng.
Didalamnya Petualang bisa melihat film dokumenter tentang sejarah
terbentuknya Dataran Tinggi Dieng dan Kebudayaannya.
Masuk ke DPT, petualang akan lebih memahami tentang Dataran Tinggi
Dieng secara umum. Untuk masuk ke DPT petualang hanya menunjukan Tiket
Terusan yang di beli ketika akan masuk ke komple Dieng 1 seharga Rp.
12.000,-. Namun apabila Petualang lupa untuk membeli tiket terusan, bisa
juga membeli tiket di DPT seharga Rp. 5.000,-. Masih banyak tempat
menarik yang berada di Dataran Tinggi Dieng yang terlewatkan. Petualang
