This is because Candi Kidal lies far in rural areas, not much commented on by experts of history and rarely written in tourism guide books. The location of this temple itself is located alongside a main street village, but because it is indented slightly to the inside so hard to see before actually being right in front of the entrance gate of the temple area.
Kidal temple made of andesite stone and vertical geometric dimension. The foot of the temple seems a bit high with stairs into small upward as if not the actual entrance stairs. Temple body size smaller than foot wide and the roof of the temple, thus emphasizing the impression slim. The roof of the temple consists of three parts with the top surface large enough to have a roof like a jewel without decoration or Stupa. Each layer is left little room spacious and decorated. They say every corner of the first layer of the roof of the temple where a small diamond.
Kala headdress looks creepy with his eyes bulging full. Her mouth was open and saw two large fangs and curved to give the impression of dominance. The existence of two canine is also a hallmark feature of the temple Timuran Java. Left corner and right there with the finger mudras (attitude) threatened. So sempurnalah sacred duty as guardians of the temple building.

Candi Kidal is the only temple which has particularly Java Garuda complete narrative story. There are three reliefs of Garuda in this temple, the first Garuda with a snake holding three large, second relief depicts eagle with a jug above his head and three reliefs of Garuda supporting a woman on it. Among the three reliefs, the relief of the two is the most beautiful and still intact.
A question, why the carved reliefs of Garuda (Garudeya) at the temple left-handed? What to do with Anusapati? Most likely before he died, Anusapati notice to his family for future dicandi established for him so that made Garudeya relief. He deliberately so because the aim meruwat told her mother, Kendedes, whom she loved, who always suffer and during his life has not fully become the main female.

Ditanyakanlah to the third snake how so her mother could be free from this slavery. Answered by snake "Get me the holy water that is stored in heaven Amrita and guarded the gods and derived from the sea of milk". Garudeya agreed and immediately ask her permission to go to heaven.
Of course the gods do not approve Garudeya desire so that a fight broke out. But the gods can be defeated. Seeing this Batara Vishnu intervened and Garudeya can be defeated.
