Prambanan Temple
The Candi Prambanan is one of the world’s most beautiful temples and the largest Hindu temple in Southeast Asia. The temple is believed to have been built by King Balitung Maha Sambu around 850 A.D. The gigantic complex contains three main temples, each dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma (all are the manifestation of God in Hindu – the Trimurti), and 224 individual small shrines.
Soaring up 47 metres, the inside of each main temple contains interesting statues. Bas-reliefs decorating the walls of the temple depict the story of the Ramayana. On four nights during the full moon between May and October, an open-air theatre inside the park holds performances of the epic Ramayana. And, unsurprisingly, it is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Location: Loro Jonggrang, about a 20-minute drive from Yogyakarta City.
Opening Hours: 06:00 – 17:00
