Popis: The term ''candi'' in Indonesia generally refers to sacred buildings, legacies of Hindu-BudhaKingdoms. Candi is often considered a masterpiece erected based on certain architecturalguidelines including those pertaining to site selection and proportion. Rock cut candi is one amongmany forms of structure found in certain areas across the Nusantara. In its objective to study theproportion of a rock cut candi, this article takes Gunung Kawi of Gianyar Regency-Bali, as a casestudy. The study analyzes the proportion of its physical elements, which are classified into threegroups: leg; body; and head elements. Each category is constructed of lower, body and upperframe. This research implements Manasara-Silpasastra principles in regard to proportion ofsacred structures. Manasara-Silpasastra proposes five categories of ratio of width to height, whichare santika, paushtika, parshnika/jayada, adbhuta, and sarvakamika (Acharya, 1927). Theresearch finds that the proportion between width and height at Gunung Kawi Rock Cut Candi fallsinto the category of paushtika.
