Borobudur Temple at a glance
Borobudur Temple, an ancient Buddhist edifice constructed in the 8th century, is situated in the central Java province, approximately 45 kilometers from Jogjakarta City. It is recognized as one of the most renowned temples globally and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The temple is majestically positioned on a hill, offering views of verdant fields and distant hills, and is designed with seven terraces, each progressively smaller than the one beneath it. At its pinnacle lies the Great Stupa, which rises to a height of forty meters above the ground. The temple’s walls are adorned with intricate bas-reliefs, celebrated as the largest and most comprehensive collection of Buddhist reliefs worldwide. Although it was ‘rediscovered’ by Raffles in 1817, the monument has undergone complete restoration since its initial construction in the eighth century.
