Prambanan Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Prambanan is a very magnificent Hindu temple in Indonesia. It has been damaged by many volcanoes and earthquakes. There are more than 50 temple ruins. Prambanan was built in the 8th to 10th centuries AD, about the same era as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and has many similarities in architectural form and sculptural themes. The temple has three-story courtyards. Most of the buildings on the outer two floors are in ruins. Only the inner layer preserves several temples. The three magnificent main temples are dedicated to Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, and the other three small temples are respectively. Enshrined in their mounts divine bull, divine goose and condor. Like Borobudur, Prambanan Temple is also built of volcanic rock, and the walls are covered with exquisite reliefs, but its content is mostly based on the Indian epic "Ramayana". Compared with Angkor Wat, although the same story is told, the artistic style and characters are quite different.

Prambanan#indonesiatrip Prambanan, located on the island of Java in Indonesia, stands as a striking testament to the region's rich cultural and religious heritage. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a marvel of Hindu architecture, rivaling the grandeur of any ancient temple complex globally. The towering spires of Prambanan, dedicated to the Trimurti—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—create an imposing skyline that beckons visitors to explore its intricacies. The main temple, devoted to Shiva, is an architectural masterpiece with its soaring height and detailed reliefs depicting scenes from Hindu epics, such as the Ramayana. Wandering through Prambanan's expansive grounds is like navigating a sacred labyrinth. The smaller temples dedicated to Vishnu and Brahma, adorned with delicate carvings and statues, contribute to the site's overall majesty. As the sun sets, the temple complex is bathed in a warm, ethereal glow, creating a mystical ambiance that enhances the spiritual experience.Tala_Travel10

Prambanan, most beautiful hindu temple in the world, and Borobudur, the biggest buddhist monument.From Yogyakarta in Central Java we went to both Prambanan and Borobodur in one day. Prambanan is the biggest hindu temple in the island of java and is often dubbed as the most beautiful Hindu temple in the world. The temple consists of three main temples, one for each of the Hindu gods, Brahma, Wisnu, and Shiva. Around the complex there is also opportunity for various activities such as tandem biking, mini atvs, archery and animal garden. Borobudur is the biggest single Buddhist monument in the world, and arguably the biggest tourist attraction in all of Central Java. It is made up of 10 levels and takes form of a giant mandala. It is still a very important place of Buddhist worship, and is visited by Buddhist pilgrim monks from all over the world once a year. #centraljava #Yogyakarta #Borobodur #Prambanan #Indonesia #Java #historicallandmarks #localguides #Buddhism #hinduismtravelmumu1

Prambanan TempleDespite seeing the temple umpteen times in the internet, I was still beheld of the monstrous size of these ancient constructions. To say that we looked like ants when compared to the temples was no mere exaggeration. The tallest and biggest temple in the center was obviously dedicated to Lord Shiva the Creator. The two temples flanking it were dedicated to Brahma the Keeper and Vishnu the Destroyer. These three main shrines formed the "Trimurti" (three forms). The three other smaller temples were dedicated to the "Vahana"(vehicle) of the gods-Nandi (Shiva's bull), Hamsa (Brahma's swan) and Garuda (Vishnu's eagle). All were dwarfed by the presence of Shiva's 47 meter tall buidling. The temples are adorned with life like panels of bas-reliefs narrating the stories of Hindu epic. They could be attained by climbing a set of steep steps to the gallery behind the balustrades walls. It would also lead you to a dark chamber which housed a statue of the god it symbolized. #urbanexplorer #besttrip #roadtripkanaya59

I would say it is quite interesting to have a quick visit at Prambanan Temple when you are in Central Java.
Indonesia's largest world heritage 9th century Indian temple "Planbanan" is the largest Buddhist temple "Borofotu" yesterday, which shocked me again. The tour guide interestingly said that this is Hinduism to fight the Buddhist "Borofotu" building specially built enough Bigger Hindu temples, but since the earthquake, there were more than 200 temples and now only eight are saucy. In Indonesian religion I have found three my favorite gods and beasts, which I have no experience in Thailand. Why? Because the gods (beasts) here are very round eyes and round bodies; but Thailand is thin and slender. Compared to me, I personally love the style here. What about you? #Temple can directly see the Java volcano 🌋
Prambanan Temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, which is precisely located in Yogyakarta. The beautiful temple was built in the 9th century with the legend folklore.
Done with the one of my bucket list in Indonesia last April 2023, this ancient temple will definitely set you free lol, it’s more than what you see in google.
Prambanan Temple which is located in Klaten, Central Java very good for knowledge and the scenery is also beautiful to be able to enter this Prambanan temple you need to pay around 40 thousand only
