During my visit to Prambanan Temple, I closely observed the intricate temple architecture that represents the rich history and cultural heritage of Java. Built in the 9th century, this Hindu temple complex is dedicated to the Trimurti, the three highest gods in Hinduism. The complex consists of several temples, each with its own unique story and carvings. The central temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, stands tall at 154 feet, making it the tallest temple in Indonesia. As I walked around the complex, I couldn't help but appreciate the fine details of the carvings that depicted the stories of Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma. The history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site is fascinating and it's a must-visit for anyone interested in studying the architecture and culture of South Asia.
