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.
