T he overall structure of Wisnu Temple could be considered similar to Ciwa Temple but smaller in size, 20 x 20 meters square and 23 meters high. This temple has only one stairway to the center of the temple which is a room with Wisnu statue inside. The base of the temple is surrounded by an open space with balustrade around it. The inner side of the balustrade was inscripted a story in relief form. The story was about Krisna, an avatar of Wisnu. At the outer side of the toot of the temple were figures of Lokapala Gods in different posture. Other ornamentals were similar to that at Ciwa Temple.

Relief of Wisnu Temple
As has been reported by Bernet and Sukmono (1974), the relief at Wisnu Temple expressed the reincarnation of Wisnu in another form. The story is very popular in India but less well-known in Indonesian literature and not known in relieves found in Indonesia. It has been forecasted that Kangsa the Giant will be killed by Dewaki, the eighth son of his cousin. To secure his safety, Kangsa killed all the seven son of his cousin. At that time the eighth son was still in the womb of Dewaki's mother. So Kangsa observed the pregnant mother very carefully.
