Today we visisted Prambanan Plain, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Yogjakarta. It is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, consisting of 240 original temples, of which only 8 main temples and 8 small shrines have been reconstructed and are on-view to visitors.
The inner zone holds the three main shrines dedicated to the Hindu gods: Brahma the creator; Vishnu the keeper, and Shiva the destroyer. The Shiva temple is the largest of the three which contains 5 smaller chambers housing statues of other deities like Ganesha (Shiva's son) and Durga (Shiva's wife).
