El templo de Borobudur cuenta con más de setenta enormes estupas de piedra en forma de campana bajo las que se encuentra una estatua de buda en cada una de ellas. Es el templo budista más grande del mundo por lo que es un importante lugar de peregrinación, además es el monumento más visitado de Indonesia. Su construcción se finalizó en el año 850, se abandonó en el siglo XIV y fue re-descubierto en 1814 por Thomas Stamford Raffles, gobernador británico de Java. Desde entonces, Borobudur ha sido conservado mediante numerosas restauraciones. El proyecto de restauración más largo fue llevado a cabo entre 1975 y 1982 por el Gobierno de Indonesia y la Unesco, tras lo cual el monumento fue nombrado Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Vista frontale del tempio di Borobudur - Giava Centrale.
Borobudur è un tempio buddhista Mahayana risalente circa all'800 d.C. situato nella parte centrale dell'isola di Giava.
È stato oggetto di paragone con altre opere colossali dell'antichità (ad esempio le Piramidi di Giza); ha infatti una base di 123 x 123 metri ed un'altezza di 35 metri, poggia su colossali blocchi di pietra e le sue pareti sono ricoperte da migliaia di bassorilievi e centinaia di statue di Buddha.L'edificio ha una linea quadrata e divisa in gradini e appare come una montagna. Nella vista dall'alto si apprende la complessità della pianta e la sua struttura architettonica. È il monumento più visitato di tutta l'Indonesia

Borobudur is a massive Buddhist monument in central Java, Indonesia, 26 miles (42 km) northwest of Yogyakarta. The Borobudur monument combines the symbolic forms of the stupa (a Buddhist commemorative mound usually containing holy relics), the temple mountain (based on Mount Meru of Hindu mythology), and the mandala (a mystic Buddhist symbol of the universe, combining the square as earth and the circle as heaven). The style of Borobudur was influenced by Indian Gupta and post-Gupta art. The monument was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991.
Borobudur was constructed between about 778 and 850 CE, under the Shailendra dynasty. It was buried under volcanic ash from about 1000 and overgrown with vegetation until 'discovered' in 1814. A team of Dutch archaeologists restored the site in 1907–11. A second restoration was completed by 1983.
This photo was taken early morning at the pedestal level as climbing the stupa was not allowed due to the existing Covid conditions. I hope to take some dawn photos from the upper level of Borobudur stupa sometime later- hopefully.

Borobudur temple is a Buddhist temple in central Java. The name Borobudur is from the Sanskrit words biara and bidur. Biara means temple and bidur means hill, ergo temple on the hill. It was built around the end of the eighth century, but it took three generations to complete. The stupas (bells) are about 3 meters tall and inside each is a statue of the Buddha. I had a great time photographing the temple from a variety of perspectives.

Borobudur contains approximately 2,670 individual bas reliefs (1,460 narrative and 1,212 decorative panels), which cover the façades and balustrades. The total relief surface is 2,500 square meters (26,909.8 sq ft) and they are distributed at the hidden foot (Kāmadhātu) and the five square platforms (Rupadhatu).
The narrative panels, which tell the story of Sudhana and Manohara, are grouped into 11 series encircled the monument with the total length of 3,000 meters (9,843 ft). The hidden foot contains the first series with 160 narrative panels and the remaining 10 series are distributed throughout walls and balustrades in four galleries starting from the eastern entrance stairway to the left. Narrative panels on the wall read from right to left, while on the balustrade read from left to right. This conforms with pradaksina, the ritual of circumambulation performed by pilgrims who move in a clockwise direction while keeping the sanctuary to their right.
