Penataran or Panataran (Indonesian: Candi Penataran) is one of the largest Hindu temple ruins complexes in East Java, Indonesia.^[1] It is located in Penataran, Blitar Regency, roughly 12 km northeast of Blitar, with the closest airport being further away at Malang. Believed to have been constructed between the 12th century to the 15th century, the temple played a significant role in the Majapahit Kingdom, especially under King Hayam Wuruk.^[1]^[2] He considered it his favorite sanctuary.^[3]^: 241 Penataran dates from the Kediri era.

Candi Panataran is a Shiva (Siwa) temple. It is notable for including one of the largest Indonesian collections of reliefs showing the life stories of the Hindu god Vishnu in different avatar. In particular, the temple site includes the Rama story in the Javanese version of the epic Ramayana, as well as Krishna story as depicted Triguna's Krishnayana epic poem.^[4]^[5]^[3]^: 158 Comparative studies of reliefs related to Hindu epics at Penataran and Prambanan temple (Yogyakarta) complexes have attracted the attention of archaeologists.^[6]
