Loro Jonggrang Group of Temples in Prambanan
Location: Karangasem, Bokoharjo, Prambanan, Sleman, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.
Candi Siwa is the largest structure of the compound. It can be reached via four staircases, one on each side. A balustrade tops the base. Ramayana reliefs adorn the inner side of the balustrade, while on the temple foot are dancers, musicians and the guardians of the winds.
Loro Jonggrang or Prambanan is the only temple in Central Java where the platform is at a lower level than the upper part of the entrance staircase. It gives the impression that the passage for circumambulation is not built atop the base but within it.
