Borobudur, or Barabudur, is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument consists of six square platforms topped by three circular platforms and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside a perforated stupa. It is the world’s largest Buddhist temple, as well as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.
Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple was designed in Javanese Buddhist architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. The temple also demonstrates the influences of Gupta art that reflects India's influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian. The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around the monument and ascends to the top through three levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology: Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades. Borobudur has the largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world.
Evidence suggests Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[4]
Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year, Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.

Angora/wool?/rayon yarn. I ran out at the end, so the button band is alpaca/angora, I think. A Jean Moss man's pattern, made for myself, who doesn't fit into her woman's patterns. Sniff! Lovely stitch pattern.
"Twisted Juniper Nirvana" There is nothing like night photography, and in the high deserts of Colorado, Utah, and Arizona it is an amazing experience. While shooting at night comes with it's own set of difficulties, it also comes with great rewards at the end of the day... The hike in and out of the twisted junipers in the dark can be pretty treacherous, but fun and exciting at the same time. The stars and constellations help light the way even on some of the darkest of nights, and the twisted forms and shadows lend to the eerie yet peaceful surroundings.... Nirvana.... Not to be confused with the band Nirvana, although they are pretty badass too :) Shares, follows, and friendships are appreciated.

We took our kiddos to probably the last double kids feature before school starts. Planes and then Despicable Me 2 - it turned out to be a cool evening dipping into the upper 50s but we were prepared with blankets and snacks such. The kids had fun playing with other kids that were here for the evening. Good fun was had!
