As mention on its name, this complex  has 9 main buildings. The distance of each temple is near enough. To visit all buildings, we have to walk around for about an hour.
The 9-temples has its own history. The first temple has medium size. Its height is about 4 to 5 metres. It has Yoni without Lingga. We have to walk upwards. That was really tiring but we could see casuariana trees The first and second temple still have complete construction. The second temple has a sculpture of gods.  The third temple consists of 3 little temples and it forms letter L. The fourth and the fifth temple have incomplete buildings, it became a piece of little temple. The fifth till the nineth temple are the main building. They have bigger buildings. For its function, this temple belongs to resting place temple because of the founding of many dusts.
This temple has cool temperature so it has very fresh air. When we come in early morning or late-afternoon, we will see fog there. We will smell sulfur when we arrive there. It is because there is a hot spring. It is located between the third and fourth temple. We have to pay ticket for bathing there.
