Prambanan Temple, Yogyakarta

#summervacay Prambanan is a breathtaking Hindu temple complex that comes alive at golden hour. The towering stone spires rise dramatically from the ground, and every surface is carved with scenes from the Ramayana. I joined a guided tour to understand the mythology—it really enriched the visit. Later, I caught the Ramayana Ballet performance with the temple illuminated behind it. The blend of history, storytelling, and setting makes this one of Java’s most enchanting cultural experiences.
