Not Everything is Lost in the Flow of Time
Prambanan Temple is a magnificent 9th-century Hindu temple complex located on the island of Java, Indonesia. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and stands as a testament to the grandeur of ancient Javanese civilization and Hindu art.
Prambanan is the largest Hindu Temple in Indonesia and the second largest in Southeast Asia, after Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Prambanan is renowned for its tall, pointed architecture and intricate stone carvings. The temple walls are adorned with stunning bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the Hindu epic Ramayana, which are considered masterpieces of stone carving.
Prambanan was constructed around 850 AD by the Sanjaya Dynasty. The Temple was abandoned for centuries, likely due to volcanic eruptions or a shift in political power, Prambanan was rediscovered in the 18th and 19th centuries. Extensive restoration efforts began in the early 20th century, with the main Shiva temple being completed in 1953. Reconstruction continues, particularly after damages from the 2006 earthquake.
