Prambanan

Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple on the island of Java. It encompasses over 50 temples, varying in all sizes, with the Shiva Temple being the largest. It was mysteriously abandoned soon after its completion in the 9th century AD.


Most of the temples had collapsed by the 19th century but were rebuilt in 1937. Unfortunately, the temples were ravished by a major earthquake in early 2oo4. The large blocks of stone you see laying around in the photos are remnants of some of the temples.


The whole area was caged off when I was there because it was deemed unsafe for tourists to be near the area. I liked that fact because I was able to get better photos without people in them. It was an amazing place.
