I would say it is quite interesting to have a quick visit at Prambanan Temple when you are in Central Java.
Indonesia's largest world heritage 9th century Indian temple "Planbanan" is the largest Buddhist temple "Borofotu" yesterday, which shocked me again. The tour guide interestingly said that this is Hinduism to fight the Buddhist "Borofotu" building specially built enough Bigger Hindu temples, but since the earthquake, there were more than 200 temples and now only eight are saucy. In Indonesian religion I have found three my favorite gods and beasts, which I have no experience in Thailand. Why? Because the gods (beasts) here are very round eyes and round bodies; but Thailand is thin and slender. Compared to me, I personally love the style here. What about you? #Temple can directly see the Java volcano 🌋
Prambanan Temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, which is precisely located in Yogyakarta. The beautiful temple was built in the 9th century with the legend folklore.
Prambanan Temple is very beautiful and historic, the place is clean and there are many neatly arranged temples
This is the largest Hindu temple in Southeast Asia besides Angkor Wat. What's more amazing is that Prabalan is only 50 kilometers away from the Buddhist relic of Brahmaputra, while Java is totally Muslim. Prambanan can be regarded as an extension of Hindu culture on Bali Island, but in Indonesia, there is no trace of Hinduism except Bali.
