Very
beautiful
,and
Amazing
place
of
the
world
👍
The
three
biggest
temples,
called
Trimurti
(“three
forms”),
are
dedicated
to
the
three
Hindu
God-
Shiva the
Destroyer
Vishnu the
Keeper
Brahma the
Creator
Travel
Guides
to
Indonesia
We
used Lonely
Planet`s
Indonesia book
on
our
travels
around
Indonesia
and
Bali.
It
was
great!
1)
𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐚
𝐓𝐫𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞
:-
The
Candi
Shiva
Mahadeva
temple,
dedicated
to
Shiva,
is
not
only
the
largest
of
the
temples
of
Prambanan
but
also
the
finest.
The
main
spire
is
incredibly
aroun
40-5
m
high
and
its
stones
are
beautifully
carved.
The
Shiva
temple
contains
five
chambers,
four
small
chambers
in
every
cardinal
direction,
and
one
bigger
main
chamber
in
the
central
part
of
the
temple.
Its
base
is
decorated
with
small
lions
flanked
by
kalpatura
(trees
of
heaven),
as
well
as
stylized
half-human
and
half-bird
kinnara
(heavenly
beings).
Aren`t
they
𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲
𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥?
2)
𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐮
𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞
:-
The
Candi
Vishnu
temple
is
smaller
than
the
impressive
Shiva
Mahadeva
temple
and
sits
just
north
of
it,
reaching
around
30-40
m
in
height.
Of
course,
we
had
to
walk
the
steep
stairs
up
to
the
top
plateau.
And
it
was
totally
worth
the
climb
as
the
temple
is
magnificent
containing
reliefs
telling
the
story
of
Lord
Krishna
who
is
the
hero
of
the
Mahabharata
story.
The
most
impressive
part
of
this
temple
is,
in
my
opinion,
the
statue
of
a
four-armed
Vishnu
the
Preserver
in
the
inner
chamber.
It
is
so
really
big
and
beautifully
carved.
3)𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐚
𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:-
This
temple
is
the
twin
temple
of
Candi
Vishnu,
as
they
are
exactly
similar!
It
is
situated
just
south
of
the
big
Candi
Shiva
Mahadeva
temple,
so
the
two
twin
temples
make
a
nice
symmetric
scene.
When
you
enter
this
temple,
look
up
and
admire
the
spectacular
“monster
mouth”
doorway,
which
is
beautiful.

:-
Nandi
temple –
Contains
a
statue
of
bull
Nandi
belonging
to
Shiva,
as
well
as the
statue
of
Chandra
the
god
of
the
moon,
and
Surya
the
god
of
the
sun.
Chandra
stands
on
his
carriage
pulled
by
10
horses,
and
the
statue
of
Surya
is
also
standing
on
a
carriage
pulled
by
7
horses.
Hamsa/
Angsa
temple –
Contains
no
statue,
but
it
probably
once
housed
a
statue
of
the
sacred
swan
Hamsa
for
the
god
Brahma.
Garuda
temple –
Neither
this
temple
contains
a
statue.
Probably
this
temple
once
contained
the
statue
of
kite
Garuda
belonging
to
god
Vishnu.
Garuda
holds
an
important
role
for
Indonesia,
as
it
serves
as
the
national
symbol
of
Indonesia,
and
also
as
the
name
of
the
airline
Garuda
Indonesia.
When
you
enter
this
temple,
look
up
and
admire
the
spectacular
“monster
mouth”
doorway,
which
is
beautiful.
Prambanan
is
the
biggest
and
most
complete
remains
of
Java`s
period
of
Hindu
culture,
built
in
the
middle
of
the
9th
century
AD,
around
50
years
later
than
Borobudur.
Little
is
known
about
its
early
history,
but
it
is
believed
that
it
was
built
by
king
Rakai
Pikatan
to
mark
the
return
of
a
Hindu
dynasty
in
Java
after
decades
of
Buddhism.
Prambanan
was
completely
in
ruins
for
years
until
1937
when
the
reconstruction
started,
and
it
is
still
far
from
complete.
Even
though
Prambanan
is
a
big
tourist
sight,
it
was
peaceful
and
not
too
crowded
when
we
visited.
We
could
easily
walk
around
the
complex
and
take
in
its
atmosphere.
Prambanan
is
much
more
relaxed
than
Borobodur,
here
we
were
left
alone
and
not
hunted
down
by
Indonesian
wanting
to
take
selfies
with
us.
