Borobudur

Borobudur

Borobudur is one of the most wonderful legacies of the ancient human which Indonesia has ever had. A lot of people come to visit Borobudur to se how wonderful this temple is.

Borobudur, or Barabudur, is Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six squares and three circulars, topped by a central dome which is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is in the center of 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated Stupa. It is the world's largest Buddhist temple often considered as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.

Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple was designed in Javanese Buddhist architecture blending the Indonesian indigenous culture of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. The temple is also influenced by Gupta art reflecting India's influence on the region, but there are a lot of indigenous elements incorporated that make Borobudur very Indonesian. That is why almost all Indonesian need to go there for a visit.
