Lematang

The Lematang rises in the Pasemah highlands of southern Sumatra and flows towards the Musi basin. At Muara Enim it meets the Enim River, another stream descending from the uplands. Farther downstream, the temple complex of Bumiayu stood beside the Lematang, between the highland country and Palembang. Brick shrines and statues there bear witness to religious and artistic traditions that flourished along the river in the age of Srivijaya.
