temple, such as amazing art prambanan temple Indonesia. Prambanan is the
largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia. The temple is located in Central
Java province, on the island of Java, around 20 kilometers east of Yogyakarta, 40
km west of Surakarta and 120 km south of Semarang, just on the border between
the provinces of Central Java and Yogyakarta.
The temple is situated in the village
of Rara Jonggrang Prambanan whose territory is divided between the district of

or Lara Jonggrang.

Some archaeologists have found statues of Shiva in garbhagriha (main
room) in the temple of Shiva as the main temple is a statue of the king Balitung
embodiment, a posthumous statue pedharmaan him. Prambanan name, derived from
the name of the village where the temple stands, believed to be the change of name
of the Java language dialect "Para Brahman", which may refer to the
heyday of the temple which formerly filled by the Brahmins.
This building complex periodically continue to be refined by the kings of Mataram Medang next, like a king Daksha and Tulodong, and expanded by constructing additional hundreds of temples around the main temple.

The construction of this temple, about the year 850 AD. Not clear who
the founder, but as one of these two, namely: Rakai Pikatan, the second king of
Mataram dynasty I or Balitung Maha Sambu, during the Sanjaya dynasty. Not long after
construction, the temple was abandoned and began to break down.
Renovation of the temple was started in 1918, and until now has not been
completed. The main building recently completed in 1953. Many parts of the
temple is renovated, using new stones, because many original stones were stolen
or reused elsewhere. A temple will be renovated only when at least 75% of the
original stone was still there. Therefore, many small temples are not rebuilt and
only looked foundation course. Now, the temple is a protected site by UNESCO since
1991. Among other things this means that the complex is shielded and has a special
status, eg also in situations of war or conflict.
The building of this temple supposedly completely collapsed due to severe
earthquake in the 16th century. Although no longer the center of Hindu religion
and worship, the temple was still recognizable and known to exist by the people
who inhabit the villages around Java. The temples and statues of Durga temple in
the main building is inspired Javanese folklore legend Jonggrang Rara. After
the split of the Sultanate of Mataram in 1755, the ruins of the temple and the
nearby river Opak a delimiter between the Sultanate of Yogyakarta and Surakarta
(Solo).
In 1733, the temple was discovered by CA. Lons a Dutch nationality. This
temple attracted worldwide attention when during the British occupation of Java.
When was Colin Mackenzie, a surveyor subordinate Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles,
found this temple. Although Sir Thomas subsequently ordered further
investigation, the ruins of this temple remained abandoned until decades. No serious
excavation conducted during the 1880's which unfortunately actually fosters the
practice of looting temples and stone carvings. Later in 1855 Jan Willem IJzerman
start cleaning and moving some rocks and soil of the temple room. A few moments
later Isaac Groneman perform large-scale demolition and temple stones were
piled haphazardly along the River Opak. Statues and reliefs were taken by a
Dutch citizen and be decorated garden, while indigenous stone temple used for
building materials and house foundations.
Behind the temple of amazing Prambanan Indonesia there is story legend
of Lara Jonggrang. Once upon a time in P. Central Java, there are two mutually
neighboring kingdoms, namely Pengging kingdom, ruled by King Pengging and
Prambanan kingdom, ruled by King Baka. King Baka big giant tangible and have

form was creepy and cruel heart, King Baka have a very beautiful daughter,
named Rara Jonggrang.
King Pengging had long felt sad because people often get interference from Prambanan kingdom army. He wanted to crush the Prambanan kingdom rulers, but they were too strong for him. To achieve his wish, King Pengging then ordered his son, Raden Bandung, to meditate and pray for strength from the gods. Raden Bandung managed to get a form of magic genie, named Bandawasa, who always obey orders. Since then the name was changed to Raden Bandung Bandawasa.
Armed with that miracle, Raden Bandung went to Prambanan with Pengging army. After experiencing a fierce battle, Raden Bandung managed to kill King Baka. With the permission of his father, Raden Bandung intends to set up a new government in Prambanan. Upon entering the palace, he met with Rara Jonggrang. Inevitably, Raden Bandung fell in love with the princess and ask for her hand.

In fine he proposed requirement that, in order to memperistrinya, Raden Bandung should be able to make 1000 temples overnight. Raden Rara Jonggrang Bandung undertakes request. Soon after sunset, she went to a clearing not far from Prambanan. He meditated calling Bandawasa, genie pet, and ordered the jinn to build 1000 temples as required by Rara Jonggrang.
Bandawasa then mobilize his friends, genies, to help build the temple desirable employer. Through the middle, Rara Jonggrang crept close to the field to see the work of Raden Bandung. Amazement, the princess saw that the job is almost done. Immediately he ran to a nearby village to wake the girls in the village.

At that time Bandawasa has successfully completed 999 temples and is completing the construction of the last temple. Hearing the sound of the rooster crows, Bandawasa and his friends immediately stopped work and disappear because they think the dawn has come. Raden Bandung who saw Bandawasa and his direct running clouds rise from semadinya and getting ready to deliver his failure to rara Jonggrang. After a long wait, Raden Bandung was surprised by the dawn never arrived. He then investigate the weirdness happening.
