The Dawangsari site is still mysterious but has a form resembling a stupa, so it is often referred to as the Dawangsari Stupa and has a characteristic of Buddhist temples. Based on that opinion, the site is also often called the Dawangsari stupa temple. The diameter is almost the same as the stupa at Borobudur Temple.
