Borobudur Temple : The largest Hindu worship service on the island of Java

The Buddhist temple Borobudur is situated in Magelang, Indonesia’s Central Java. This temple can be found roughly 40 km northwest of Yogyakarta, 86 km west of Surakarta, and 100 km southwest of Semarang. In terms of wangsa Syail, temples containing numerous stupas were established circa 800 AD by followers of Mahayana Buddhism. The largest Buddhist temple is called Borobudur.

The Mandala style used in the construction of Borobudur represents the universe in Buddhism. This building’s structure resembles a box with four entrances and a circular center. The world’s nature, which is split into the Nrw’s nature at the center and three zones on the outside, is split into two sections when viewed from the outside inward.
