(Translated by Google) The inner courtyard is the holiest of the three complex zones of the temple. The platform is elevated and squared in a caged stone fence with four gates in the four cardinal directions. In this sanded courtyard there are eight main temples; namely the three main temples called Trimurti temples (three forms), dedicated to the three highest Hindu gods, namely Lord Brahma the Creator, Wishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer. Siwa Temple as the main temple is the largest and tallest building in the Rara Jonggrang temple complex, measuring 47 meters high and 34 meters wide. The peak of mastaka or the peak of this temple is crowned with a modification of the shape of the wajra symbolizing diamond or lightning. This form of wajra is a comparable Hindu version of the stupa found at the peak of the Buddhist temple. Shiva Temple is surrounded by a corridor decorated with reliefs that tell the story of Ramayana engraved on the inner wall on the ledge fence. On top of this ledge fence is fenced off the ranks of the peak which is also shaped wajra. To follow the story in its order, visitors must enter from the east side, then do pradakshinayakni spin around the temple in a clockwise direction. The story of the Ramayana continues to the Brahma Temple. Shiva Temple in the middle, contains five rooms, one room in each direction of the wind and one garbagriha, the main and largest room located in the center of the temple. The eastern room is connected to the main room where the statue of Shiva Mahadewa (Shiva's embodiment as the Supreme God) resides as high as three meters. This statue has the Lakçana (attribute or symbol) of Shiva, namely chandrakapala (skull above the crescent moon), jatamakuta (crown of majesty), and trinetra (third eye) on its forehead. This statue has four arms that hold Shiva's attributes, such as aksamala (prayer beads), camara (horse-tailed hair repellent fly), and trident. This statue wore an upawita (caste rope) in the shape of a dragon (cobra). Shiva is described as wearing a loincloth made of tiger skin, depicted with carved heads, claws, and tiger tails on his thighs. Some historians assume that this Shiva statue is an embodiment of the king of Balitung as the god Shiva, as a statue of his posthumous pedharmaan. So that when this king died, his spirit was considered to be reunited with his descendant god Shiva. This Shiva Mahadewa statue stands on a padma flower pedestal on a square-shaped yoni base on which to the north is engraved with a Nāga snake (cobra). The other three smaller rooms hold smaller sized statues associated with Shiva. In the south room is Resi Agastya, Ganesh's son of Shiva in the west room, and in the north room there is a powerful statue or Shiva's wife, Durga Mahisasuramardini, describing Durga as the exterminator of Mahisasura, the giant of the Ox that attacks the supermarket. The Durga statue is also referred to as Rara Jonggrang (slender wench) by the local population. This statue is associated with the legendary princess figure Rara Jonggrang. (Original) Halaman dalam adalah zona paling suci dari ketiga zona kompleks candi. Pelataran ini ditinggikan permukaannya dan berdenah bujur sangkar dikurung pagar batu dengan empat gerbang di empat penjuru mata angin. Dalam halaman berpermukaan pasir ini terdapat delapan candi utama; yaitu tiga candi utama yang disebut candi Trimurti (tiga wujud), dipersembahkan untuk tiga dewa Hindu tertinggi, yaitu Dewa Brahma Sang Pencipta, Wishnu Sang Pemelihara, dan Siwa Sang Pemusnah. Candi Siwa sebagai candi utama adalah bangunan terbesar sekaligus tetinggi di kompleks candi Rara Jonggrang, berukuran tinggi 47 meter dan lebar 34 meter. Puncak mastaka atau kemuncak candi ini dimahkotai modifikasi bentuk wajra yang melambangkan intan atau halilintar. Bentuk wajra ini merupakan versi Hindu sandingan dari stupayang ditemukan pada kemuncak candi Buddha. Candi Siwa dikelilingi lorong galeri yang dihiasi relief yang menceritakan kisah Ramayana terukir di dinding dalam pada pagar langkan. Di atas pagar langkan ini dipagari jajaran kemuncak yang juga berbentuk wajra. Untuk mengikuti kisah sesuai urutannya, pengunjung harus masuk dari sisi timur, lalu melakukan pradakshinayakni berputar mengelilingi candi sesuai arah jarum jam. Kisah Ramayana ini dilanjutkan ke Candi Brahma. Candi Siwa di tengah-tengah, memuat lima ruangan, satu ruangan di setiap arah mata angin dan satu garbagriha, yaitu ruangan utama dan terbesar yang terletak di tengah candi. Ruangan timur terhubung dengan ruangan utama tempat bersemayam sebuah arca Siwa Mahadewa (Perwujudan Siwa sebagai Dewa Tertinggi) setinggi tiga meter. Arca ini memiliki Lakçana (atribut atau simbol) Siwa, yaitu chandrakapala (tengkorak di atas bulan sabit), jatamakuta (mahkota keagungan), dan trinetra (mata ketiga) di dahinya. Arca ini memiliki empat lengan yang memegang atribut Siwa, seperti aksamala (tasbih), camara (rambut ekor kuda pengusir lalat), dan trisula. Arca ini mengenakan upawita (tali kasta) berbentuk ular naga (kobra). Siwa digambarkan mengenakan cawat dari kulit harimau, digambarkan dengan ukiran kepala, cakar, dan ekor harimau di pahanya. Sebagian sejarawan beranggapa bahwa arca Siwa ini merupakan perwujudan raja Balitung sebagai dewa Siwa, sebagai arca pedharmaan anumerta dia. Sehingga ketika raja ini wafat, arwahnya dianggap bersatu kembali dengan dewa penitisnya yaitu Siwa. Arca Siwa Mahadewa ini berdiri di atas lapik bunga padma di atas landasan persegi berbentuk yoni yang pada sisi utaranya terukir ular Nāga (kobra). Tiga ruang yang lebih kecil lainnya menyimpan arca-arca yang ukuran lebih kecil yang berkaitan dengan Siwa. Di dalam ruang selatan terdapat Resi Agastya, Ganesha putra Siwa di ruang barat, dan di ruang utara terdapat arca sakti atau istri Siwa, Durga Mahisasuramardini, menggambarkan Durga sebagai pembasmi Mahisasura, raksasa Lembu yang menyerang swargaloka. Arca Durga ini juga disebut sebagai Rara Jonggrang (dara langsing) oleh penduduk setempat. Arca ini dikaitkan dengan tokoh putri legendaris Rara Jonggrang.

The panels depict Ramayana. There is a book available in information desk which gives panel wise description but it costs IDR 100,000. Or view the audio visual show at museum. In all Hindu temples Lord Siva is worshipped as Linga- phallus. But here as the statue which is very rare.

Nice view and good knowing the heritage temple. Can see the shillouette when sunset. Peaceful

Another beautiful temple within walking distance to Prambanan. Very worth the walk as it is also very detailed and under reconstruction.

in many ways this is better than Borobudur since there are less people and it is set in a big beautiful park with lots of trees and grass. if you have a KITAS use it and go to the local entrance. stunning for sunsets and interesting. local guides are very knowledgeable and will give a lot of interesting information.

Historical Hindu Shiv Temple, indonesia Currency have Ganapathy Photo and most of the peoples name Hindus Name , they respect Ravana! Great Evidence here Hindusium present in indonesia .Best Spritual place to Visit !

(Translated by Google) Comprising the remains of some 244 temples, World Heritage-listed Prambanan is Indonesia's largest Hindu site. The highlight is its central compound, where its eight main and eight minor temples rise up majestically like ornate 9th-century skyscrapers. Erected in the middle of the 9th century - around 50 years later than Borobudur - little is known about its early history. It was built by Rakai Pikatan to commemorate the return of a Hindu dynasty to sole power in Java. One beautiful historical and cultural tour. It has a very wide and shady area in the daytime because it is surrounded by trees and green grass. At certain times there is a very beautiful performance of Ramayana dance especially at night. #LocalGuide This Brahma temple is located south of the Shiva temple which has a size almost the same as the Wisnu temple which is 20 m long, 20 m wide and 37 m high. over yoni shaped pedestals. Lord Brahma is known as a creator god who appears from his four hands who all hold beads and jugs. Around the balustrade, this temple has reliefs which are a continuation of the Shiva temple, the Ramayana story.

It is the biggest temple in the Prambanan temples.

A highly recommended historical hindu's temple to visit with beautiful design and carving.

Shiva is a Hindu God as "the Destroyer." One of the trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism. Shiva has many aspects, benevolent as well as fearsome. Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and the arts. He is depicted as with the serpent around his neck, the adorning crescent moon, the holy river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the third eye on his forehead, the trident as his weapon. *learning for myself

Temple prices!

Shiva Temple is the largest temple building in the Prambanan Temple complex. Now you can go upstairs. There are 4 niches in the temple and the largest is in the main niche containing the statue of Lord Shiva.

Incredible design, worth the walk from main temple, much quieter

A site guide would be helpful. The correct way in order to read the story is by walking clockwise.

An example of bow Siwa-Hindu and Buddhism co-exist peacefully.

The temple is beautiful, exotic, impressive. Best suggestion is at sunset, bring a DSLR or camera. Guaranteed you will be treated to an amazing view

Beautiful temple
