BOROBUDUR - UNESCO World Heritage Site


Borobudur is a Mahayana Buddhist temple which was build in 9th century during the reign of Syailendra dynasty. It is considered to be the world's largest Buddhist temple which makes it one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. Its design and style shows significant Indian architectural influence on the region.

The area covered by this enormous temple is 123 x 123 meters. The monument is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The most amazing thing about this marvelous design is that it was build without using any kind of mortar or cement. The whole structure is build by interlocking carefully designed Lego like blocks which held together without any material. 

It is believed that this is the largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world.
