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
