Prambanan Temple also known as Lorojongrang Temple is the biggest Hinduism temple in Indonesia. Prambanan temple was built in 9th century during the Sailendra Dynasty, with 47 meter height. It was located at Bokoharjo Village, East of Yogyakarta. This temple was discovered by C.A. Lons in 1733. In 1885 they try to reveal the presence of this temple by cleaning the site from vegetation and then they try a few effort to reconstructed temples in the site.











There are carvings that tell us the Ramayana Story on the Siwa and Brahma Temple. The relief of Krisnaya was carved in the Wisnu Temple. The restoration of this temple was finished in 1953, 240 temples undergone restoration.

Prambanan have a few temples :

  • Nandi Temple (Located in front of Siwa Temple)
  • Apit Temple (Located in the North and South flanking row of temples)
  • Four Sudut Temples (Located at each of the corner of the main square)
  • Four Kelir Temples (Located in front of each gate of the main square)

Now you can watch the Sendratari Ramayana Ballet at the Trimurti Theater. This show started at 19:30, this dance was presented by more than 50 professional dancer.

The Ancient Temple : BOROBUDUR

The Borobudur is a temple with spectacular structure surrounded by steamy jungles. This ancient building on the isle of Java is an impressive site. The detailed carvings on the many relief panels and the abundant Buddha statues coupled with it's shear size make this temple quite unique. The lower tier of the temple is covered with erotic imagery that was considered offensive to the sensibilities of the local Muslim population and is covered with stone and plywood to make the temple more acceptable.
