Tanjungmedan Temple is an ancient site located in Tanjungmedan Hamlet, Panti District, Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra. This site has long been known by the surrounding community, but only around the 1990s began the restoration of the temple by the government.nnAccording to estimates, this temple is a relic of Hindu or Buddhist culture. This is confirmed by naming the place where the temple is located, called Biaro (monastery, monastery). The inhabitants around the temple today are all Muslim and do not know the history of this temple. It is possible that the founder of this temple had lived there for some time before it finally became extinct or left the village for an unknown reason. It was only after it was abandoned that the ancestors of the present population arrived.nnThere are two temple buildings made of bricks with relatively larger brick sizes than the size of bricks that are commonly used today. The two buildings that resemble shrines are now reconstructed and roofed because many of the original bricks were destroyed. The area around the temple is also well fenced.nnJudging from the location of the temple which is on the edge of Batang Sumpur, which flows into Riau Province (where the name changes to the Rokan River and empties on the east coast of Sumatra), it is estimated that the founder of the Tanjung Medan Temple came from the downstream area of ​​the Rokan river as well as the ancestors of the Minangkabau people which is also estimated to follow the river flow from the east coast of Sumatra. One proof of this is the similarity in the names of several places in the Panti District and Ujung Batu (Riau Province), such as Tanjungmedan, Rambah, Tambangan, and Sontang.
