Borobudur
Borobudur is a great Buddhist temple.
The temple is located in Magelang on the
island of Java in Indonesia.Built in the 9th century under the Syailendra
dynasty of Java, it was abandoned in the 11th century and partially excavated
by archaeologists in the early 20th century.
Influenced by the Gupta architecture of
India, the temple is constructed on a hill 46 m high and consists of eight
steps like stone terraces, one on top of the other.The first five terraces are
square and surrounded by walls adorned with Buddhist sclupture 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.Th eway 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,
influenced temple built at Angkor, Cambodia.Borobudur was rededicated as an
Indonesian National Monument in 1983 following extensive reclamation, aided by
the United Nations.
