Prambanan Temple
Prambanan Temple or Candi Prambanan is a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, in southern Java, Indonesia,
The temple compound is located approximately 17 kilometres northeast of the city of Yogyakarta.
The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia and the second-largest in Southeast Asia.
The temples collapsed during a major earthquake in the 16th century.
In 1918, the Dutch colonial government began the reconstruction of the compound however proper restoration only commenced in 1930.
The reconstruction of the main Shiva temple was completed in 1953 and inaugurated by Indonesia's first president Sukarno.
Since the reconstruction of the main temples in the 1990s, Prambanan has been reclaimed as an important religious center for Hindu rituals and ceremonies in Java.
Originally there were a total of 240 temples standing in Prambanan.
