Borobudur, Borobudur or Borobudur, Indonesia

Borobudur (Borobudur) Borobudur or Borobudur or Javanese write Barabudur (Barabudur) is Sanskrit. The word Bara comes from the word Biara, which means a temple (Vihara) or temple. The word Budur means a high mountain. When combined, it means a temple built on a high mountain. Dharma center Borobudur, one of the seven wonders of the world, is located in central Java, about 40 kilometers northwest of Yogyakarta. It was built between 1293 - 1393. Borobudur is a religious site of Mahayana Buddhism. If you do not count Angkor Wat in Cambodia, which is both a religious site of Brahman-Hinduism and Buddhism, Borobudur will be the largest Buddhist religious site in the world. In 1991, UNESCO announced Borobudur as a World Heritage Site. About 40 kilometers northwest of Yogyakarta, is the Borobudur made of Andesite, a huge volcanic rock, about 15 meters high. The exterior is shaped like a lotus flower, a symbol of Buddhism. According to historical evidence, the area around Borobudur is a lowland surrounded by water from the Progo River. Therefore, it can be said that the ancient Borobudur pagoda is like a lotus flower floating in the water. Borobudur is an architecture influenced by Mahayana Buddhism. It is old and has the faith of the Javanese people. In the history of the Sailendra dynasty, until today, anyone who travels to Indonesia must visit Borobudur. #Waiting for the day to travel #Travel in Indonesia #Yogyakarta #Borobudur #borobudur

Borobudur Temple

Borobudur Temple Compounds This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, is located in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. 1 Hour distance from yogyakarta city. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 m2. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO's help in the 1970s. The Borobudur sunrise is best from the Manohara hotel. The entry fee is 450k IDR per person, but it is worthy. The ticket also includes a buffet breakfast and a souvenir. The sunrise from the top of the temple oversees a huge valley though it was nothing like pictures I had seen. The sun rises early in Indonesia and you must reach the temple by 5 AM. I got a cloudy sky on the day and the sun was seen only at 6 30 AM. It gets hot every minute after 7 AM so you must finish the temple walk quickly. #bucketlistreboot #passionpassport #gooutside #campingglamping #urbanexplorer #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #themepark
