Admiring the Sewu Temple
Sewu is an 8th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple located 800 meters north of Prambanan in Central Java. The Sewu Temple is actually the second largest Buddhist Temple in Indonesia after Borobudur.
Although originally only around 249 temples are present, the name in Javanese translates to 'a thousand temples,' which originated from popular local folklore. More on the temple on Wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewu
