History
Borobudur was built during the Syailendra Dynasty around the 9th century
under the reign of King Samaratungga. The architect of the temple was named
Gunadharma who succeeded in designing this remarkable
building even though has no knowledge in computer systems and other advanced
technologies. The construction of the temple can be completed around 50-70
years later.
The name of Borobudur comes from the Sanskrit word 'Vihara Buddha Uhr" which means Buddhist Monastery on the hill. At that time, the Borobudur Temple became the largest center of religious
activity until Islam came to give influence in the 15th century. This temple
began to be abandoned by the people who turn into Islam. Borobudur became increasingly forgotten as the eruption of Mount
Merapi, buried by volcanic ashes.
How to get there:
Borobudur can be reached by plane from Soekarno Hatta International
Airport, Jakarta to Adisucipto Airport Yogyakarta in 1 hour and then by car in
about 1.5 hours.
