Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple compound in
Central Java in Indonesia, located approximately 18 km east of Yogyakarta. It
is characterised by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple
architecture, and by the 47 m high central building inside a large complex of
individual temples. It was built around 850 CE by either Rakai Pikatan, king of
the second Mataram Dynasty, or Balitung Maha Sambu, during the Sanjaya Dynasty.
Not long after its construction, the temple was abandoned and began to
deteriorate. Reconstruction of the compound began in 1918. The main building
was completed in around 1953.
