Borobudur Temple Postcard

This place is surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery of Central Java which you can only find there. The temple stands majestically on a hilltop overlooking lush green fields and distant hills. Built between 780 and 840 AD during the reign of the Syailendra dynasty, the temple's design in Gupta architecture reflects Indian influence in the region. However, there are enough original scenes and elements that are included to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian. It covers a total surface area of about 2,500 m2 the Kedu Valley, the southern part of Central Java. This monument has a stunning design, decorated with 2,672 relief panels and originally consisted of 504 Buddha statues, surrounded by green areas.

The structure is like a large set of interlocking Lego blocks that are held together without glue. No wonder Borobudur is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
