Join us on this visit to the incredible Candi Prambanan temple in Java, Indonesia. This is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, which is regarded as the biggest muslim country in the world by population. About a thousand years ago, Java was predominantly Hindu - which is when the temple was built. The Prambanan temple is actually an ancient temple built in honor of Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (being the main deity) here. The tickets to visit Prambanan temple are very expensive - its about IDR 375k per person for a one day ticket and we spent nearly all day from 11 am to closing time at 5 pm.

Thanks to all the kind Indonesians who clarified this: Indonesia is not an Islamic country, nor considered a "Muslim country" but rather the country with the most practicing Muslims - in reality, it's a beautiful country with diversity very much like our own home country India. So sorry for the lack of clarity while we speak in the video, but hopefully it's clear and accurate now! Thanks again for being kind and explaining this to us 🤓🤓
sorry to say this, we the biggest muslim population country but protect hindu temple, do u support many mosque destroyer in india ?
Indonesian is an OIC member, it means that Indonesia is an Islamic Country.
Yogyakarta was the main hub of the pre-islamic Indonesian Hindu Buddhist civilization. Our ancestors where adherants to Sanatana Dharma for thousands of years.. even Indonesian muslims now you can see them having Sanskrit names like Adhi, Putra, Sena, Sita, Rama, Devi, etc
@@apinbozzo3457 it's not
@@fajarkurniawan9434 What do you means, Indonesia is indeed a member of the OIC, which is an organization for Islamic countries.
You may not believe that Prambanan was built almost at the same time as Borobudur ( world largest Budhist temple) built. I am so proud of our ancestor for practicing life in diversity since our early civilization. Hope we will be able to maintain and pass it to our next generation just like what they did.
This is so beautifully said! Thanks for sharing this 🤩
Indonesia is not Islamic, it is a country with the largest practicing Muslim population in the world. Saying Indonesia is Islamic is like saying the US and Russia as the largest Christian country in the world or India is the largest Hindu country in the world.
Thank you for clarifying that Dian! 😃

It would be different if Hindu or christians are the majority

@@afififim6131 keep going with your taqqiya.
Indonesia is not an Islamic country, only the majority of the population is Muslim with the largest number in the world. Islamic countries use Islamic law, Indonesia does not. the country's symbol using islamic symbolizes, Indonesia does not. The only Islamic countries in Southeast Asia are Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. India is also not an Islamic country but the number of adherents is very large.
Thank you for adding more clarity to this! 🤓
India,Nepal and Mauritius are Hindu countries
yes we are majority muslim but we are not like Arab or Middle East, we embrace diversity in our archipelago. especially in Java you can found Hindu Buddha site a lot
Thanks for that information Ricky! 🤓

In this Video you mentioned the role of a "British colonial entity" in the discovery and reconstruction of Prambanan temple. FYI, Indonesia was known as a Dutch (and not British) colony. The British had only ruled this region for a very short time (1811 - 1816). During the peak of Napoleon era, the Netherlands, and hence also all Dutch's colonial territories became parts of the Napoleonic empire. After defeating Napoleon, the British also (shortly) "pushed" the Dutch out from their East-India colony. During this short-time, Thomas Stamford Raffles, a British, became it's Governor General. But he was, later, better known as the "founder" of Singapore. As the Wikipedia source describes, it was the Dutch (in the VOC era) who in 1733 discovered Prambanan site as a ruin of "Brahmin temples". After this, both the Dutch and also the British (during the short colonial period by Raffles) had "plans" to restore the temple, but had not done real / significant works for this. It was not until 1915 that the Dutch /Netherlands-Indie colonial government finally made serious and systematic efforts to restore the temple. These works have been taken over and continued by the Indonesian government after our independence (1945) with the support of UNESCO.
Thank you for making this so informative and clear! We read off of the pamphlet given with the ticket and a quick Google search, so we definitely didn't learn this well enough. Do you enjoy history Ihsan? 🤓🤓
@@TheBackpacksters , yes, indeed, Shishira & Navneeth 😃
Actually, the temple complexes were found by British troops and not Dutch. Raffles instructed the excavation of the temple, also to Borobudur temple in the same region.
@@jusufagung true
Also kind of misleading of that pamphlet. Shivagrha or Prambanan was never discovered, because it was never lost from sight or burried like Borobudur. Abandoned yes. It was mentioned in the Kakawin (long narrative poem) Lubdhaka written by Mpu Tanakung from the 14th century. Regarding Raffles the Governor General from British Empire, he ordered to map out the temples in region of Kedu Highlands. Thank you for visiting. ❤❤❤❤
the incredible and weird think, many of muslim indonesian peoples but their name with hindu name.
You are SO RIGHT! First time we saw someone's name in Jakarta it was very fascinating to see the name Surya and Wisnu followed by an Islamic surname 🤩🤩

Terima Kasih Joerhe! Indonesia is truly beautiful and the people are very warm and welcoming! 😃
Indonesia and India have many similarities in religion, culture and history. We take good care of all the historical heritage of our ancestors...
True! Two big countries with great history some of which is shared 🤩
We even "imported" some of India's royalties to be our own.😹😹😹
No wonder the direction-challanged european mistaken us as india.
@@TheBackpacksters even our country names are almost similar right? 😊
In ancient times, there were many similarities in the Nusantara (ancient indonesia) region. However, now, only Bali takes good care of all the historical heritage of our ancestors, nor java (dissapear slowly), nor east indonesia, papua (different culture)
@@TheBackpacksters stop saying that..!
Two big country

Coz those 2 related distance siblings😂
In Indonesia we have the largest mosque, the largest buddhis temple in the world, 6th largest Hindu temple, the tallest Hindu statue in the world, the tallest Jesus Christ statue, the tallest Confucianism too
You guys have so many records in this! Wow! Thats so cool! 🤩
@@Kalinggapura your info are not update, statue in Brazil is 30 meter high (38 with base) while Jesus burake "Patung Yesus Kristus Memberkati" statue in toraja indonesia is 40 meter high..
not only the tallest but also the highest at 1600mpl.
And you know what? another Jesus Christ statue in Yoba samosir would be set another record with 60 meter, its under construction..
pretty shocking right? considering its the largest muslim population country in the world
@@Kalinggapura If you are Indonesian you have to learn more about your own country Indonesia than studying other people's countries
india is most hindu population , 2 largest muslim population , largest sikh population , largest zoroastrian population , birthplace of buddhism , largest jain population
And India has most Mosque in the world.
the real name of Prambanan temple is Siwaghra / Sivaghra .. the meaning is "The house of Siwa/Siva" .Actually, when allowed to explore the niches of the temple, there are stories carved into the temple walls. Reliefs about the Ramayana story that is completely different from the story that many people know will be beautifully presented on the wall. because Sinta is really told with a very sad story because she had to be expelled from her husband's kingdom while pregnant and had to give birth in the forest, and her twin boys were named Kusa and Lawa by Resi Valmiki in the hut in the forest. this story is what not many people know, even though it is clearly engraved there.
That's so fascinating to learn about! We come from Bangalore, which is very close to a mountain which as per Hindu mythology was the very place where Lava and Kusha met Rama while Sita was living with her sons in the forest!
Btw, this is an underrated temple and really appreciate how indonesians strongly value their ancient history so much! 🙏🏻🇮🇩🤩
@@TheBackpacksters Are you really from Bangalore? wow, that's very encouraging. because my comment about kusa and lava turned out to be not so far from where you both live. because only a few know about the child of Sinta / Sita and Rama. because in Indonesia the history is not told in detail and thoroughly. Only until the moment when Sinta/Sita managed to survive the flames while proving her chastity. And typical Indonesians prefer stories with beautiful endings, and will definitely not believe that the authentic Ramayana story is a sad story, especially for Sinta/Sita.
Fyi, The scene of Lava y Kusha, sons of rama y sinta are exist on the balaustrade on the inner wall of Brahma temple,
The Ramayana story start from the Siva, AND finish on the Brahma.
While the story of Krisnayana carved on the Wisnu temple
@@TheBackpacksters That's Indonesia. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Diversity in Unity

it is not sad story , the conclusion of story is good over evil

Prambanan Temple is located in Yogyakarta, the only Monarchy in Indonesia. Although the majority of Yogyakarta residents are Muslims, we still retain some of the Hindu culture, due to the SabdoPalon Agreement when allowing Islam to enter Java.
The contents of the Sabdopalon Agreement:
1. There should be no imposition of religious dharma or belief.
2. If you want to build a shrine or worship building, make the outer building look Hindu-Javanese style, even though the inner content is Islamic.
3. If an Islamic kingdom is established, the first queen must be a mixed child.
Mixed means, if the father is Hindu then the mother is Muslim. If the father is Muslim, then the mother must be Hindu.
4. Do not turn the Javanese into Arabs or Parsi.
*Jogja is its own province, not part of Central Java.
Wow, did not know this! thanks for teaching us 🤓
saya percaya masih banyak candi/peninggalan hindu & budha yg belum di temukan . karena letak candi " itu biasanya di dekat gunung berapi yg aktif ada kemungkinan candi" banyak yg tertimbun matrial gunung berapi yg sulit untuk di temukan

Yeah before islam indonesia is hindu kingdom, but after indonesia become one the center if thw trade where many prople from china, india, and arab come to indonesia, and islam spread by marry and dawah within indonesia culture (wayang) and slowly many native indonesia become muslim, but still keep hindu culture there, so there is menara kudus mosque that has combination hindu, javanese and islamic arsitecture

Hi Shishira and Navneeth. Glad you guys enjoyed your time in Central Java with its beautiful temples. Indonesia do have many things to offer and many places to explore, especially if you dare to be more adventurous.
Fyi, talking about pronounciation, Indonesian pronounces the letter C as CH. So, the word Candi (temple) is pronounced like the word Chaandi (silver) in Hindi. Other examples are Catur => Chātur, Citra => Chitrā, Cakra => Chākrā. Also the letter A is mostly pronounced like a long A (आ) in Hindi. Hope that helps. Enjoy the rest of your trip! 😊
Terima Kasih for this information, Ardhy! 🤩 We absolutely loved exploring Indonesia and wanted to see more of Java (we spent two months in Bali before arriving here) but a sudden change of plans has occurred... We'll explain more in the next video 😅

No... The Brittish were the ones looting it. You can see on the temple that so many statues are gone from its place. Including the head of the Buddha statues in Borobudur. also so many Hindu temples in Dieng plateau.
The Dutch were the ones initiate the restorations, and continued by the Indonesian government.
Ah okay! So those missing monuments are probably in the museums there now?

There are lots of Hinduism aspect in our daily life because in the past all Muslim scholars tell us to believe that Sanghyang widi wasa or brahman (hindu god) is the same god as we worship. So no need to argue about that
Because of that many of assimilation and syncretism happen in here, but not like sikh who literally mix the two religion. We hold the tradition and way of hindu but we filtered to which one you could accept, just like muslim arabs who also keep their ancestors tradition that not against Islamic rules
For the example in my hometown (Banyuwangi east java) there's an ancient book called lontar yusup who tell the story of prophets in islam but with hindu style like the language is kawi (old Javanese), the java hindu rhythm, even the name of god is Sanghyang widi wasa and sanghyang manon (the name of brahman in java)
Sounds interesting right??wkwkkw
Truly interesting! Thanks for sharing all this.. it gives perspective on how religion moves from place to place over centuries!

Both Sanjaya (Hindu) and Syailendra (Buddhist) dynasty are from Old Mataram (Medang) Kingdom, it was build after Borobudur and also after Rakai Pikatan (Sanjaya) married to Pramodyawardhani (Syailendra) and he ruled Old Mataram Kingdom. It was build for the harmony of coesxistence between religion. This thalasocracy kingdom is actually one of the most powerful kingdom in south-east asia. In fact, the restauration of prambanan temple initiated by The Dutch. The name of the temple is originally Shivagrha. Today prambanan is still used for hindu ceremonies.
Let me tell you a bit of story here 😊 :
The Mataram Kingdom today is still exist, it is called Mataram Yogyakarta but not Hindu-Buddhist, it is now based on Islam... but heavily influenced by Hindu culture. The King now is also the governor of yogyakarta. Fact : whoever the king of Mataram Yogyakarta, he/she’ll become the governor of Yogyakarta Province. Mataram Kingdom nowadays divided in 4 : Mataram Yogyakarta, Mataram Surakarta (now Surakarta city), Pakualaman (part of Yogyakarta), Mangkunegaran (part of Surakarta). The Kings are also still exist, but the one who still has political power is the Sultan of Mataram Yogyakarta. You can visit the palace to also experience the culture. There are lot’s of kingdom in all accros Indonesia & they are still exist, also with the king/queen, eventhough they don’t have political power now but they influence in Indonesia’s sosiocultural existence, to preserve the culture.

There are 5 official religions in Indonesia.
1. Islam
2. Kristen
3. Buddha
4. Hindu
5. Konghucu
Islam in Indonesia is the majority. So Indonesia is not a religious country, but a Pancasila state.

@@TheBackpacksters No no, Pancasila is the state ideology. More than 5 major religion, incudling many native religion (animism and such) are recognized.

also Candi Borobudur : *the biggest Buddhist temple in the world* located in *the most Muslim adherent country in the world* ...we Indonesian, respect our past ancestry, wisdom, and ancient civilization is our treasure. So i hope other country also has this view, just like us.. Dont destroy the building, monument etc. even if that is from other religion/believe that you are not longer belong to. eventhough Buddhism and Hinduism are not the majority anymore in Indonesia, all religion can living harmony and respect each other. Salam 🙏
Wow, Borobudur must be really impressive! 🤓
@@TheBackpacksters yes bro and sis, visit Candi Borobudur.its amazing 🙂
I also hope Pakistani and Afghan learn from Indonesian. Salam from Malaysia.
We just muslim majority. Not a Islamic country. Hindu culture is much more apparent. So many sanskrit names like Sri, Putra, Wisnu (Vishnu), Rama, etc.
Indonesia is an accumulation of multiple popular old cultures from the ancient seafaring silkroad traders. The religion usually spread thru traders. Many religion are spread peacefully here.
Its a rare place where you can see an individual oriental face with sanskrit name as a muslim. Its all mixed for centuries here. Even the language is mixed from multiple loan world from many languages in the world.
Oh yeah, Shiva is the main deity in Indonesia Hindu. Multiple small Siwalingga spread thru even in the deepest jungle.
Thats so interesting to learn! Thank you for sharing this with us 🤓
Weird I know for some foreigners ... although Indonesia is the most populous Muslim-majority country in the world, the majority itself doesn't want or even refuse if Indonesia is called Islamic nation/country 😁🙏
As Indonesian, we are proud living in differences - Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, for example, is our national motto, meaning "Unity in Diversity" which is taken from sanskrit manuscript during Hindu era in 10th century
or another example is our national emblem, which is the Garuda - in Hinduism Garuda carries the god Vishnu on his back, while in the Buddhist, Garuda is an agent of the faith, wrestling with Nagas until they become Buddhist
Things like that 😁🙏
So basically, saying that Indonesia is an Islamic country will be understood as Indonesia same like Malaysia, Brunei, or Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, where their law is based on Islamic law - and this doesn't happen in Indonesia ... Indonesia doesn't take religion laws as the nation law
Indonesia's highest law are based on the state law and principle called Pancasila, as well as the state constitution that accommodates all recognized religions in Indonesia - which are Islam, Catholic, Protestant, Hindu, Buddha, and Confucius
Yes, Indonesia is a religious country, but it wasn't built based on any single identity of religion/race/ethnicity - saying Indonesia is Islamic or Christian or Hindu country, would kinda hurt others that are different, because we believe this country belongs to all differences - hopefully this sharing could answer all debates written on your comment section, lol 😁🙏
Usually foreigners would see this "too drama" as it doesn't really matter ... but yeah, it's actually quite important for us to keep the unity of Indonesians 😘🙏
btw ... love ure vlog so much ❤️❤️❤️ more info about Prambanan, many say that Angkor Wat in Cambodia is older than Prambanan, which actually no, Prambanan is older than Angkor Wat ... If you've been to Angkor Wat, or some temples in Southeast Asia, they were mostly influenced by Prambanan - I think archipelago is one of the oldest places influenced by Hindu, since 1st-century through Indian traders, sailors, scholars and priests. Well ... there are more great stories about Indonesia history actually, afraid u're gonna get bored reading this comment ...
So ... have a great, wonderful journey in Indonesia 😘🙏
Not boring at all Dini! This information is really useful to read and understand from - thanks for commenting about it and teaching us to accurately understand the principles of Indonesia when it comes to religion! 🤩
We have visited Angkor Wat too - check out our older vlogs from Cambodia and another one from Laos which is possibly from the same era! 🤓
They're accessible from the playlists tab on our channel! 😃
Most Indonesians visit North India and form an image like India is dusty and chaotic country with no nature, waterfalls etc. I recommend visiting our state KERALA in south. Its like Indonesia with lush greenery, rivers and waterfalls. Less chaotic but more clean. Kerala is the least poverty stricken state in India. I am commenting this because I have seen Indo vlogs focusing only on poorer states in India.
We must definitely change that perception in those who haven't had a chance to see the south! We've been to Kerala 💚 a few times and definitely agree with you - our home state of Karnataka is a lot like that too! 😊

Tapi ingat Indonesia Negara beradab karena itulah yang membedahkan dg negara-negara lain. Itulah Indonesia. Keramahan dan kesedrehanaan akan kita temui dimanapun...
That's very nicely summed up! 🤓
Thank you. Hopefully the ISIS/Taliban/Muslim Brotherhood type political parties/civil society groups do not come to power or grow in influence.
@@navinkumarpk86it's not problem Muslims are easy to manipulate, I am guessing Indonesia Malaysia bangladesh are next Syria, iran Iraq with next 15 - 20yrs that's it Islam they don't have future unless complete power like saudi UAE
Love indonesia , most diverse in the world
so sad condition of tolerance in INdia now....our brothers mean not anly brother in one relegion but also in one nation
Good to not be influenced by media that always looks to scandalise things between religions and label entire countries as intolerant. But of course, the very small % of intolerant individuals must be stopped from disturbing peace, whichever religion they are from! 😅
@@TheBackpacksters setuju. Jangan mudah terprovokasi kalau ada komentar yang menyudutkan atau menyinggung agama, harap dimaklumi.

Arjun in India, Arjuna in Indonesia (with an "a" ending). Greetings, I visited India two years ago, including the Taj Mahal and the Kashmir mountains. It is definitely a culturally rich country, but it requires hard work to clean up (seriously) the environment. The streets can be chaotic, with motorcycles honking constantly.
That's true indeed! For a population of 1.4 billion, it takes a lot time to improve things - hopefully it gets there soon 😃
I recommend visiting our state Kerala in south. Its like Indonesia with lush greenery, rivers and waterfalls. Less chaotic but more clean. Kerala is the least poverty stricken state in India.
Actually that depends on which part of India. Southern Indian said Arjuna.
You can visit other Hindu (and Buddhist) temples in Solo/Surakarta, Dieng, Klaten (Central Java) and Trowulan (East Java). Central Java also has modern statues installed in public places such as Arjuna-Krishna statue in Boyolali, Pandawa statues in Sukoharjo, Ganesha statue in Salatiga, etc.
Trowulan, Mojokerto was the former capital of Majapahit empire and there are temples and plenty archeological sites there. There is also Hindu community living in Tengger, below Bromo mountain that has 700 years old Ganesha murti on top.
Thats soo cool! We loved how Indonesia has so much of culture everywhere you look. Curios to visit the other cities you've named - maybe in our next visit 😊
hay... India, how are you? thank you so much for your Video make About Indonesia. say hi from.Bandung city
Terima Kasih Ikra! 🇮🇩🇮🇳😃
Beautiful temples
Yes indeed! 😃
Salah satu kebiasaan orang indonesia , suka komentar mengajari dan terbang tinggi jik negaranya dipuji puji
Oh okay didn't know that 😅
anda benar
Ada satu lagi kebiasaan netizen indo, suka menyamaratakan, ada pendeta hindu radikal di india langsung dianggap semua orang hindu india radikal, terus menyuruh belajar toleransi ke indonesia, emang di indonesia tidak ada kejadian intoleransi pada minoritas?
Hindus are great people. Greetings from Christian Javanese.
All people are great (regardless of religion) - wouldn't you say? 😊🙌🏼
no what what
Indonesia isn't Muslim country
Okay 😃
We have one temple too in west java,the name's is CANGKUANG TAMPLE,it's not huge tample but the tample in the middle of the island.
That sounds very unique Rani! Saving it down for another visit 🤩
Thanks for replying,and am so glad too have a name from sanskrit(Thanks for my father)because of it when am introduced my self and peoples will say's am the Queen without am explaining.well, guys enjoy the adventure.
Hehe, true! You are the queen 👑
@@TheBackpacksters thanks 😊
Beautiful temple 🛕
Truly! And its huge! 🤩
HINDU SANGAT AMAN DI INDONESIA, KENAPA ISLAM TIDAK AMAN DI INDIA????
Every good citizen is safe in India regardless of religion 😊
Maybe you can go to Lembang Bandung, my city is beautiful.
Adding this to our list when we revisit 🇮🇩🤩
Indonesia is plural country...only Muslim is majority not Islamic country😊
We don't familiar with Islamic country 👍
Lebih melihat arca , relief dan struktur candi. Bang. Biar orang Indonesia tahu, apa perbedaan Candi Hindu di India dengan di Indonesia
Yogyakarta was the main hub of the pre-islamic Indonesian Hindu Buddhist civilization. Our ancestors where adherants to Sanatana Dharma for thousands of years.. even Indonesian muslims now you can see them having Sanskrit names like Adhi, Putra, Sena, Sita, Rama, Devi, etc
That is truly fascinating! Indonesia has such a beautiful culture 😃
Indonesia is a country where the majority of the people are Muslim. We have various religions, but we all respect each other and remain tolerant of differences. We, as a large nation with the 3rd most populous population in Asia, really appreciate the differences we have. Besides Islam, there are also Christians, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists and Confucians. We are very proud of what we have here.
That's very nice to know! 🇮🇩🇮🇩
Judul nya hampir kebalikan hahaha ..
Prambanan Ada Sebelum Islam Masuk kkkk..
Thanks alot dude for exploring our heritages.
Terima kasih Aziz! 🤓
Kunjungi juga candi hindu di dieng...6 jam dari prambanan
Terima kasih, for the suggestion WM! 🤓
Prambanan is Symbol love from Bandung Bondowoso and Roro Jonggrang
Bcz Indonesia is not the Islamic country.. if Indonesia was a Islamic country women wouldn't get the freedom to roam and chat and the temples wouldn't stabd there .
The hindu king who build this temple is Shri Maharaja Rakai pikatan from medang kingdom around (847-855 AD)
And the kings who build another giant temple in Java (borobudur) is shri maharaja samaratungga, and then inaugurated by his daughter Shri kahulunan dyah pramodawardhani
2 years before King samaratungga dead, Pramodawardhani and rakai pikatan are married. This is the first time in Java king and queen has different religion and symbolic of Tolerance or peace
Oh wow! That's very interesting to know Wahyu 🤓 thanks for sharing!
Terima kasih sudah datang ke Indonesia .enjoy the trip😊
Thank you so much! 🤩
Every I see blogger or RUclipsr exploring temple in central Java or east Java. I don't know why my heart shake , sometime whole my body gosebump n my tears drop. Rahayu, Namaskaram🙏🙏
Terima kasih Kabul! Grateful for your kind words!
kami orang jawa banyak kedekatan tradisi dan budaya dengan bangsa kalian ( india/hindu ) meski kami muslim tapi kami menghormati dan menjaga warisan leluhur kami ( hindu dan budha ) karena kami di ajarkan untuk hormat terhadap leluhur/saudara yg lebih tua
Bcz it was a dominant prosperous hindu Kingdom before not the muslim and may be the muslims didn't destroy the temples like they destroyed in India, afganistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh
Thats an interesting point - probably looking at history, religions came to Indonesia through traders whereas in India, they came with greater force (armies/expanding empires) due to the geographical location! 😅
@@TheBackpacksterspada dasarnya suku pribumi (jawa & sunda tdk suka kekerasan dan sangat menghormati leluhurnya) meski dari hindu atau budha berganti ke agama islam, suku kami tdk berani merusak warisan leluhur kami. itulah pointnya !
@@TheBackpacksters but i have not find Indian kings destroyed any temple and religion there .... Bcz hindus never ever had something like islam and Christian that they have to convert others
IAm falling in your video, awesome photography ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Chandrashekar 🤓
If not just hit by earth quake so many time ago, trust me, prambanan temple will be a biggest and beautiful Hindu temple in this world. Just like Borobudur temple (Biggest Budha temple in the world).
Oh yes, we can totally imagine! Huge! 🤩
Thanks brother n sister

Do built only one night by Bandung Bondowoso
is it prohibited to go inside the Prambanan temple now? because the last time i visited Prambanan in 2019 i can go inside the temple
Yes.. it's prohibited.. it's only for those who seriously want to pray
Looks your face very happy..full of smile
It's been a truly nice experience in Indonesia 🇮🇩😃
Indianization of Southeast Asia since 290 BCE, Southeast Asians were once predominantly Hindu and Buddhist
Thats fascinating! 🤓
It feels magical that you who are separated by distance and time can explain what is engraved on the temple built by our ancestors thousands of years ago very very smoothly as if you were reading its blueprint. Amazing.
Thats a very special comment! Terima Kasih 🤩 Glad you came with us in this video!
Not Yogyakarta city, but Magelang city, please pin my comment for educate 😄
Hehe thanks! 😃
1000 temple from Prambanan
as a history buff myself, I learned from the history books that the reason the mataram dynasty shifting to the Eastern Part of Java (become Medang kingdom) was because of the volcanic eruption of Merapi (which was very frequent and still is). but this information I think needs further clarification because the new location of the kingdom (Medang under the rule of Mpu Sindok) is around present day Kediri which is also around another volcano (Kelud Volcano). anyway, Java itself has alooot of active volcano and most of these kingdoms were around one or two. I am working with an Indian myself and my boss often amused by how common for Indonesian (esp. Javanese) using sanskrit words in the names combined with Arabic names (for example: Waskita Fajar : Waskita is sankrit and Fajar is from Fajr which is arabic for morning/Sunrise)
Hehe wow! That's definitely interesting to see how similar things are even today 🤓 thanks for sharing this!
@@TheBackpacksters indonesia and india share so many things in the past that are still present until today; language, culture and javanese is even using a lunar calendar which is a combination of the Saka (Hindu Calendar) and Hijriah (islamic calendar. And another one; legend has it that Semeru or Mahameru, the tallest volcano in Java was said to be the tip of Himalaya, brought over by God Visnu who carried it on his back as he transformed into turtle. He dropped that tip of Himalaya on the eastern part of Java to 'Nail down' the island and stop it from floating and drifting around on the sea.
Nice video.We have visited Borabadur and pranbanan sites almost 28 years ago. We lived in Jakarta in the 90s.Beautiful country,beautiful people with lovely hearts. ❤. Terimakasi banyak😊
That's so cool! How much has this changed since you remember? We did explore some more of Java and Bali in previous videos 🤓
