DESCRIPTION TEXT

The Borobudur Temple

Borobudur is a Hindhu-Buddhist temple built in the 9th century under the Syailendra dynasty of Java. It is located near Magelang, on the island of Java, Indonesia.
Abandoned in the 11th century and partially excavated by archeologists in the early 20th century, Borobudur temple is well known all over the world.
Influenced by the Gupta architecture of India, the temple is constructed on a hill 46m (150 ft) high and consists of eight-step like stone terraces, one on top of the other.
The first five terraces are square and surrounded by walls adorned with Buddhist sculpture in bas-relief ; the upper three are circular, each with a circle of bell-shaped stupas (Buddhist shrines).
The entire edifice is crowned by a large stupa at the center of the top circle. The way to the summit extends through some 4.8 km of passages and stairways.
The design of Borobudur, a temple mountain symbolizing the structure of the universe, is similar to the temples built at Angkor, Cambodia.
The Borobudur Temple, rededicated as an Indonesian national monument in 1983, is a valuable treasure for Indonesian people.
