Prambanan Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Prambanan is a very magnificent Hindu temple in Indonesia. It has been damaged by many volcanoes and earthquakes. There are more than 50 temple ruins. Prambanan was built in the 8th to 10th centuries AD, about the same era as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and has many similarities in architectural form and sculptural themes. The temple has three-story courtyards. Most of the buildings on the outer two floors are in ruins. Only the inner layer preserves several temples. The three magnificent main temples are dedicated to Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, and the other three small temples are respectively. Enshrined in their mounts divine bull, divine goose and condor. Like Borobudur, Prambanan Temple is also built of volcanic rock, and the walls are covered with exquisite reliefs, but its content is mostly based on the Indian epic "Ramayana". Compared with Angkor Wat, although the same story is told, the artistic style and characters are quite different.

Traveling in the Candi Prambanan was really an experience as it gave me a treasured expereince of visiting a UNESCO world heritage site that feature Indonesian. Hindus culture and architecture. Definitely a must see in Yogyakarta. The location of this temple is approximately 30 minutes from the city center. Entrance fee is US$ 18 for adult foreigner. Half for foreign student showing their student card. Local tourist is much cheaper. The site is particularly impressive during the full moon time, seen from the other site. The site where we watch the Ramayana ballet. With special lighting, the Candis is beautifully back dropping the dance, through out.

One Fine Day at the Biggest Hindu Temple in South East AsiaLies in the same province of Borobudur temple, Prambanan is another magnificent temple the you can visit when you are in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The temple was recognised as UNESCO world heritage in 1991. I bet you will be mesmerised once you arrive at the masterpiece of the Hindu culture of the ninth century. The admission ticket to this temple is quite cheap for local (IDR.48,000), while international tourist should pay IDR.348,000 (around US$.24). #temple #culture #indonesiaVistamika177

Graceful Prambanan Temple@IndonesiaLocation - Karangasem Village, Bokoharjo, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Province. Getting There - Book a car to travel directly to Prambanan(if you’re in Yogyakarta or Semarang)😁 Attractions - Enjoying the unique and detailed Hindu architectural design of Prambanan while taking photos will be the task of the day😄.The whole site consists of 3 main temples dedicated to the Hindu deities; the Vishnu, the Brahma and the Shiva, so basically checking out the entire place will consume 4-5hours of your time on foot. *wearing shoes will be recommended for sure due to the long walk without the worries of getting hurt😉. #travellater #travelinspiration #travelphotography #travelwithgeo #wanderlust #prambanan #indonesiaTravel with Geo11

Mesmerizing Hindu Trinity Gods TemplesIt is strange that Yogyakarta which is 90 % muslim is home to the Borobudur budhist and Prambanan Hindi temple, build from 8 century to the 9th century. The Prambanan temples have more that 290 temple, and are continuously being restored after it was destroyed by mt. Merapis eruptions. At the center are 5 big temples, where the guide explained. It has a lot of carvings and status. There are trams and golf card that takes you to the many temple. The entrance fee for adult (December 2017) is 40.000 IDR, quite expensive but it's worth it! Because the area is neat and well-maintained. Don't forget to bring water and umbrella/hat/cap/as you want because it's so hot! This temple is not really suitable for elderly because the stairs in the temple is so high. #ancienttomb#historicculture#culturalattractionsPambudi11

Prambanan TempleDespite seeing the temple umpteen times in the internet, I was still beheld of the monstrous size of these ancient constructions. To say that we looked like ants when compared to the temples was no mere exaggeration. The tallest and biggest temple in the center was obviously dedicated to Lord Shiva the Creator. The two temples flanking it were dedicated to Brahma the Keeper and Vishnu the Destroyer. These three main shrines formed the "Trimurti" (three forms). The three other smaller temples were dedicated to the "Vahana"(vehicle) of the gods-Nandi (Shiva's bull), Hamsa (Brahma's swan) and Garuda (Vishnu's eagle). All were dwarfed by the presence of Shiva's 47 meter tall buidling. The temples are adorned with life like panels of bas-reliefs narrating the stories of Hindu epic. They could be attained by climbing a set of steep steps to the gallery behind the balustrades walls. It would also lead you to a dark chamber which housed a statue of the god it symbolized. #urbanexplorer #besttrip #roadtripkanaya59

Amazing Traditional Ramayana BalletWe had just arrived in Jogja that morning and spent the afternoon at Prambanan, hence we were quite tired. However, the play was amazing and had some comedy intwined into it. It was easy to understand the storyline as they provided leaflets with descriptions of each act beforehand in multiple languages and also have a screen with a description of the events in the act during the play. The backdrop was of the lighted Prambanan temples and it was simply breathtaking! Enjoy the traditional Ramayana ballet on the open stage of Prambanan Temple to become a destination which we should prioritize. artistic performances and performances with a variety of artistic creations make us enjoy it. Come and enjoy. #happylaborday #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer #artexhibitsalbia19

I would say it is quite interesting to have a quick visit at Prambanan Temple when you are in Central Java.
Indonesia's largest world heritage 9th century Indian temple "Planbanan" is the largest Buddhist temple "Borofotu" yesterday, which shocked me again. The tour guide interestingly said that this is Hinduism to fight the Buddhist "Borofotu" building specially built enough Bigger Hindu temples, but since the earthquake, there were more than 200 temples and now only eight are saucy. In Indonesian religion I have found three my favorite gods and beasts, which I have no experience in Thailand. Why? Because the gods (beasts) here are very round eyes and round bodies; but Thailand is thin and slender. Compared to me, I personally love the style here. What about you? #Temple can directly see the Java volcano 🌋
Prambanan Temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, which is precisely located in Yogyakarta. The beautiful temple was built in the 9th century with the legend folklore.
Prambanan Temple is very beautiful and historic, the place is clean and there are many neatly arranged temples
This is the largest Hindu temple in Southeast Asia besides Angkor Wat. What's more amazing is that Prabalan is only 50 kilometers away from the Buddhist relic of Brahmaputra, while Java is totally Muslim. Prambanan can be regarded as an extension of Hindu culture on Bali Island, but in Indonesia, there is no trace of Hinduism except Bali.
Look at the scene of the very shocking ancient Hindu temples, no matter from which point of view the photos are fried chicken praise! __________ The price of the residence permit is 15 soft sisters coins, which is the same as that of the local people. It looks like 150 soft sisters coins for foreigners, but it is worth visiting. The snack bar exported there is also good, chicken noodles 4 soft sisters, coconut 5 soft sisters, you can add sugar and ice free.
