Candi is ancient archeological structure constructed during
7th-9th century aimed for a specific religion (Budha or Hindu). It was
constructed from hundreds of volcanic or river stone blocks and
assembled solely by human labor. Candi walls is often carved with
reliefs depicting stories, and a stone God or Godess statue usually
sits at the center.
There are several candi located in Yogyakarta and it’s proximity. Borobudor, one of famous candim is located in Magelang, not far from Yogyakarta. Prambanan, also a well-known candi is located in Yogyakarta-Central Java border.
Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple compound in Indonesia and one of
the largest Hindu temples in south-east Asia. It is characterised by
its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu
temple
architecture, and by the 47m high central building inside a large
complex of individual temples. The temple complex dates from the 10th
century, and is dedicated to Shiva.
But so sad that this candi was collapsed and the whole compound was blocked and we were not allowed to enter.Too sad. if not it will be perfect to get close and see clearly on this amazing archeological structure.
