Muara Guru river forms a meander where Muara Guru Village is located in the middle of a river meander. Muara on the north side of Guru, in the middle of Sungai Kampar Kanan there are small islands stretching to the river flow. To the east of the monument is a complex thicket of adequate parking. In the baratdaya, west, and agricultural land is baratlaut population. Areas of land outside the fort and part of the fortress of land, such as Koto tuo, Pongkai, inscribed stones, and Tanjung Balit in the future will be lost as a result of reservoir-long PLTA City.
Muara Takus Temple for the first time recognized by the outside world in the year 1860, when found again by Cornets de Groot (1860: 531-533). A result of the publication, many researchers who pehatian put this on the monument complex, among others, van Beest Holle wrote about the picture Estuary Guru (1879: 217-230) and Schnitger who write about the atmosphere with the Guru Estuary complex percandiannya (1937: 11-12; 1964: 33-46).
After a long time is not examined, then in 1973 a joint team LPPN in cooperation with the University of Pennsylvania Museum of conducting surveys in the vicinity of Muara Guru. Ekskavasi and surveys in the framework of a feasibility study done by the archaeological Ditlinbinjarah 1976 to find some fraction of Chinese ceramics originated from the Song Dynasty (13th century BC). In addition, also found some bronze pieces that were written in Nagari script. Based on paleografinya, writing short is suspected to originate from centuries-7 and BC-12 century BC.
The existence of the embankment soil for the first time reported by Schnitger in 1935, but does not mention the size of the embankment. Thanks to the aerial photo assistance, succeeded in mind the size of a more detailed soil embankment. Embankment soils have length 4.19 km, and in the north have been lost along the 525.5 meters. In some places there is a rift that all amounted to 56 units. High embankment of the surrounding land surface is from 0.50 to 6.00 meters, a width between the top 0, 90-4, 40 meters, whiles the bottom width between 5.00 - 18.80 meters. Or the top of the stupa consists of a crown 36 side. The bottom of the top stupa decorated with 4 pieces of lion statue is made of sandstone. This lion statue is depicted in the seated position with the two legs folded back. At the top of it, before there are 16 decorations Padma fruit headdress lion. Stupa peak was lost, and according to estimates Schnitger the top of the ornament is decorated with an umbrella. Because this part is missing, at the time of this Stupa Mahligai have high overall size of 14.30 meters.
Stupa on the instructions found Mahligai this stage of development. Structure of the older buildings can be seen through a rift that opened intentionally on the western foot of the building and lining the cleft Padma. Based on this guidance may be suspected that the Stupa has Mahligai grew in size by adding new buildings. Bagunan have any additional sizes of thick wall around the building's first 0.50 meters.
Building on the south side, also try to reconstruct Schnitger shapes. In this section, there is a stupa which size is bigger and higher. Main Stupa is surrounded by some of the smaller stupa. Stupa-stupa was founded on a pedestal that has 20 sides with the center size 6.4 x 6.4 meters.
