This time we talk about one of the seven wonder of the world – the magnificent Borobudur temple. It will take only one and a half hours by plane from Bali to land at the Central of Java, our neighboring island.
Located on the island of Java, the magnificent Borobudur temple is the world’s biggest Buddhist monument you must visit at least once in your lifetime. The area is surrounded by beautiful scenery of Central Java’s nature that you can only find there.
The temple sits majestically on a hilltop overlooking lush green fields and distant hills. Built between AD 780 and 840 during the reign of Shailendra dynasty, the temple’s design in Gupta architecture reflects India’s influence on the region. However, there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian.
“Borobudur is an outstanding example of Indonesia’s art and architecture from between the early 8th and late 9th centuries that exerted considerable influence on an architectural revival between the mid-13th and early 16th centuries. The temple is an exceptional reflection of a blending of the very central idea of indigenous ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana” I Putu Winastra as the Head Committee of BBTF 2023 and the Chairman of ASITA Bali Chapter noted the commitment to promote Indonesia’ priority destination at BBTF 2023.
