Temple history Singosari
If we always identify with the temples of Central Java, then this assumption is no longer true, because Malang also have them. A temple built to commemorate the death of KingSingosari , King Kertanegara, has become one of the resorts in Malang. This temple is a temple Singosari , or temple "Singhasari", which is building a place of worship the king or the king's ancestors.
Located in a cool valley, in a quiet village, among the Tengger Mountains and Mount Arjuna, Singosari temple can be reached about 40 minutes from the city of Malang, precisely in the village Candirenggo, Singosari Sub Malang (about 10 km north of the city of Malang .)

writings in this inscription historians concluded that the temple Singosari Kertanegara

The building was probably established in conjunction with sraddha ceremony, a
ceremony to commemorate 12 years after King's death in 1304 AD,in the reign of

it reached as far as the area of Tanggulangin and Sidoarjo near the Lapindo mud

A performance is usually held to celebrate
a wedding, circumcision, for some other special occasion
and can take place in the daytime or evening. If the former, the performance
usually lasts from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., while an evening performance might begin
at 9 p.m. and last until 5 p.m. Occasionally, the performance might be
shortened to two or three hours. The stories usually taken from the Panji
cycle, although they are sometimes taken from
the Ramayana, Mahabaratha, and Ruatan as well.
The players are all male even female roles being performed by boys. All wear masks(topeng). A troupe usually consists of between seven and ten dancers who may act between 25 and 30 roles using different masks. Thus, 1 person may play 3 and 4 individuals. Each troupe generally owns at least 60 masks. In wayang topeng, the dalang does all the narration, while the dancers move accordingly. Only clowns like Semar, Bagong, and Potrojoyo are allowed to have their own dialogues.
The color of paint and the topeng depicts the characters portrayed. In general, red is used for a coarse of rough characters, white for arrogance, green for wisdom and modesty, pink for cunning and wiliness, yellow for contentment, etc.
Each actor wears different headgear according to the role he has adopted: a crown, hairknot, keling or pogogan made of inlaid leather, painted on the side in a symmetrical fashion. There is also a head covering made of cloth, a kind of headband, and something akind to tophat. A pair of ear ornaments called sumping is worn, with strings of flowers hanging on either side for a length of 25 cm.
The dancers do not wear shirts and some wear prabha. Those playing female roles do, however, wear a kind of chest covering called mekak, or angkin. They also wear rapek, which covers the folds of the kain with one pointed edge on the lefthand side touching the ankle. They wear Panji-panji pants while a sampur is hung from the shoulder.
This kind of art is probably extremely old, even though this particular form has undergone development throughout its history. The oldest is wayang wong which developed in the 11th century. In the time of the Majapahit empire, several terms were used to described the arts of topeng: atapukan, tapel, raket, sori tekes, and so forth.
When the Muslim Sultans of Java were no longer interested in developing topeng, this kind of art moved outside the court where it continued to hold the interest of a wide variety of people.
