This is a list of recommended places to visit in Yogyakarta and East Java :
1. BOROBUDUR TEMPLE
Borobudur is a Buddhist temple located in Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. This stupa-shaped temple was founded by Mahayana Buddhists around the year 800 AD during the reign of Shyilendra. Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple or temple in the world, and one of the largest Buddhist monuments in the world.
This monument is a model of the universe and built as a sacred place to glorify Buddha as well as serve as a place of pilgrimage to guide mankind from the world of worldly passions to enlightenment and wisdom according to Buddhism.
According to historical evidence, Borobudur was abandoned in the 14th century with the weak influence of Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms in Java and the influx of influences of Islam. The world began to realize the existence of this building since it was invented in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles.
Do not we think how the ancient man could produce this beautiful stone carving? What tool do they use? How long do they do it?

Buddhism practices and rituals, but also believed by local Javanese Kejawen as
the place to meditate. It is shown by a stone carved image of Hariti as the
symbol of fertility and motherhood, that are popular among the locals as the
praying site for couples who longs to have children.
Vesak is also known as Buddha’s
Day, commemorating the Birth of Prince Siddharta, the Enlightenments when the
prince became the Buddha and the Passing of Gautama Buddha. These three
important events in the life of Buddha are also known as Tri Suci Waisak.

as a place to keep King Indra's weapon namely Vajranala. Tiny temple 2 km east
of Borobudur, contains a Buddha statue. The temple's style and the relief
carved on the wall resemble most Javanese Hindu Temple. Pawon Temple is one and
half kilometers westward from Mendut Temple and eastward from Borobudur Temple;
it is also a Buddhist temple. When appreciating in detail, its sculpture is the
beginning of Borobudur sculpture.

8th century AD. These compounds are located on the border between the two
provinces of Yogyakarta and Central Java on Java Island.
While Loro Jonggrang, dating from
the 9th century, is a brilliant example of Hindu religious bas-reliefs, Sewu,
with its four pairs of Dwarapala giant statues, is Indonesia’s largest Buddhist
complex including the temples of Lumbung, Bubrah and Asu (Gana temple). The
Hindu temples are decorated with reliefs illustrating the Indonesian version of
the Ramayana epic which are masterpieces of stone carvings. These are
surrounded by hundreds of shrines that have been arranged in three parts

century AD in Java. With over 500 temples, Prambanan Temple Compounds
