Temple in Indonesia -B

Temple in Indonesia 🙏🏻💥🇮🇩

Indonesia's ancient temples, known as "candi/Phra/ Purá" reflect the nation's rich cultural and religious history, primarily stemming from the Hindu-Buddhist era between the 4th and 15th centuries. During this time, empires like Sailendra and Mataram built grand temples such as Borobudur, the world's largest Buddhist temple, and Prambanan, the largest Hindu temple complex.

With the spread of Islam, Hindu-Buddhist practices declined, leading to the abandonment or repurposing of many temples, though some were preserved due to their historical significance.

In modern times, these temples are major tourist attractions and are undergoing restoration to ensure their preservation. Key temples include Borobudur, Prambanan, Tanah Lot, and Pura Besakih, each showcasing unique aspects of Indonesia's cultural and architectural heritage.
