Yogyakarta Trip - Prambanam Hindu Temple

We visited the ancient Buddhism complex of Borobudur in the morning.

That evening, we visited the Prambanam which is an ancient 

Hindusim Temple after a bumpy ride up the 

Mount Merapi Volcano.

If you have visited Angkor Wat, you might find Prambanam a bit small

but its profound existence in Indonesia since the 9th century is indeed

a great eye opener about their religious cultivation and way of life

since the ancient times.

 1. Candi Prambanam is an ancient Hindu complex of temples

located in Central Java, some 17km Northeast of Yogyakarta.

2. It was opened in 856AD during the 9th Century.

The earthquakes had destroyed them several times

but they were partially rebuilt again, as seen above.

 3. Hide and Seek time!

SPOT ME???

 4. I only climbed and walked a lot when I went overseas.

The gym preparations often geared my leg muscles to

get ready for all the coming trips otherwise I would

be dead meat.

5. AHOY! Here I took a good look at the whole area.

 6. I was often amazed how the folks built their temples by carving

the granite rocks and carried them up without machinery!

They were very strong and determined with good willpower

to build anything.

 7. Their ancient carvings on granite rocks are impressive and

illustrates the beautiful stories of history.

8. My wifey always challenged me to jump and climb mountains

across China. Being kiasu, I had to show my own competence!

 9. Lord Ganesha is the Deity with elephant head, is the most loved

and well recognized Hindu God of Success outside India.

 10. The statue of the Hinduism Mother Goddess Durga.

 11. My Jubilant Jump after my mission accomplished to visit another

world's famous temple of UNESCO's World Heritage List.

 12. The tallest temple here stands at 47 metres in height.

 13. Come and visit this place when you are in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

I thank my wifey for all the lovely photographs

for my blog sharing.
