Prambanan Temple, Indonesia. Located in central Java, Indonesia, at a border of Yogyakarta and Central Java. Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple compound in Indonesia. As an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Prambanan is also the one of the largest Hindu temples in south-east Asia. Prambanan is characterised by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the 47m high central building inside a large complex of individual temples. Built around 850 CE by either Rakai Pikatan, king of the second Mataram dynasty, or Balitung Maha Sambu, during the Sanjaya Dynasty. (wikipedia).

Indonesia have one of seven amazing worlds , Borobudur. Though, on recent survey, Borobudur is no loger listed, but Borobudur is still amazing. Borobudur Temple is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. This colossal relic of Borobudur Temple was built by Sailendra dynasty between 750 and 842 AD; 300 years before Cambodia’s Angkor Wat, 400 years before work had begun on the great European cathedrals.
In Indonesia temples are known as candi, thus “Borobudur Temple” is locally known as Candi Borobudur. The term candi is also used more loosely to describe any ancient structure, for example, gates and bathing structures. The origins of the name Borobudur however are unclear, although the original names of most ancient Indonesian temples are no longer known. The name ‘Borobudur’ was first written in the Sir Thomas Raffles book on Java history. Raffles wrote about a monument called borobudur, but there are no older documents suggesting the same name. The only old Javanese manuscript that hints at the monument as a holy Buddhist sanctuary is Nagarakertagama, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1365.
