Category:Borobudur
Borobudur is the largest Buddhist monument in Indonesia and a World Heritage Site. It is located northwest of the special district of Yogyakarta, in the Kedu Plain, Magelang Regency, lying between Gunung Sumbing in the west, and Gunung Merapi and Gunung Merbabui to the east, in Central Java.
Borbodur was built by the Shailendra dynasty between 778 and 850 CE. Sometime after the 11th century, the active volcanic activity on Java buried Borbodur and many temples of central Java under volcanic ash. The Borbodur site was rediscovered in 1814, fully excavated and partially restored about 1910. In 1983, Indonesia with cooperation of Japan and other Asian countries undertook a second restoration which helped uncover additional layers and artwork at the site.
Borbodur is a stepped pyramid-shaped monument built on a square plan topped by circular terraces. The design allows a pilgrim to climb clockwise to higher and higher levels, symbolizing the Buddhist spiritual journey. All levels include reliefs and artwork, the lowest level reflecting kamadhatu, transitioning to rupadhatu, then Jataka tales, thereafter arupadhatu levels reaching to the 72 bell shaped stupas. The details and sophistication of Borobudur artwork attest to the extensive development and sharing of Indian and Indonesian Buddhist ideas by the 8th-century.
