Tingkip

Tingkip lies in the inland river country between the Musi and Batang Hari basins of southern Sumatra. The remains of a brick temple and a stone Buddha image testify to the presence of Buddhism here in the seventh and eighth centuries. The site stood near a footpath joining the two river systems, at a point where travellers could cross from one basin to the other. Its shrine belonged to a network of religious sites extending far beyond the great centres of Srivijaya.
