Visit to the Prambanan temple
In Yogyakarta, you can start the tour by visiting the Prambanan Temple. The Prambanan Temple is a large Hindu temple complex located in Java. Built in the 9th century, probably during the reign of the kings of the Sanjaya dynasty of the Mataram Kingdom, it is dedicated to the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity comprising the gods Brahmā (creator), Vishnu (protector) and Shiva (destroyer). Shiva is particularly honored here, and the main temple, 47 meters high, is dedicated to this god.
Prambanan is renowned for its architectural beauty and elaborate bas-reliefs, which depict stories from the "Ramayana", a classic epic of Hindu mythology. The complex consists of several main temples and numerous smaller temples called "candi". The three main temples aligned in the center are dedicated to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, each with a smaller temple dedicated to their mount (the swan for Brahma, Garuda for Vishnu, and the bull Nandi for Shiva).
The complex has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is now one of Indonesia's most popular tourist destinations. Every year, performances and plays from the "Ramayana" are held at Prambanan, in a spectacular setting that highlights the splendor of the temples under the evening lights. Book now and let Prambanan Temple seduce you.
