The Borobudur Temple

Borobudur is a Buddhist temple built by the Syallendra Dynasty in the 9th century. It is located at Magelang, Central Java. The temple is famous all around the world. For hundreds of years, it had been buried under volcanic ash and vegetation, until its discovery in the 1800s.

Influenced by Indian Gupta architecture, Borobudur Temple stands on a hill-like construction with eight stone terraces. The first five are square, surrounded by walls with Buddhist reliefs. The upper three are round. Each of these terraces has bell-shaped stupas.

A large stupa crowns the entire edifice at the centre of the top circle. Passages and stairways stretch out 4.8 km to the peak. Borobudur Temple's architecture is similar to that of the temples at Angkor, Cambodia. They form mountain-like structures that symbolise the structure of the universe.

Borobudur Temple, rededicated as a national monument in 1983, is a treasure for the nation.
