Borobudur is a ninth century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Magelang, Central

Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular
platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues A main dome is
located at the centre of the top platform, and is surrounded by seventy-two Buddha statues
seated inside perforated stupa
The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist
pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path
circumambulation the monument while ascending to the top through the three levels of
Buddhist cosmology, namely, Kamadhatu (the world of desire): Rupadhatu (the world of
forms), and Arupadhatu (the world of formless). During the journey, the monument guides
the pilgrims through a system of stairways and corridors with 1.460 narrative relief panels on
the wall and the balustrades. Evidence suggests Borobudur was abandoned following the
fourteenth century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese
conversion to Islam. It was rediscovered in 1814 by Sir Thomas Raffles, the British ruler of
Java. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest
restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government
and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage, where once a year Buddhists in Indonesia
celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist
attraction.
In Indonesian, temples are known as candi, thus "Borobudur Temple is locally known
as Candi Borobudur. The term candi is also used more loosely to describe any ancient
structure, for example, gates and bathing structures. The origins of the name Borobudur
however are unclear, although the original names of most ancient Indonesian temples are no
longer known. The name Borobudur was first written in the Sir Thomas Raffles book on Java
history. Raffles wrote about a monument called borobudur, but there are no older documents
suggesting the same name The only old Javanese manuscript that hints at the monument as a
holy Buddhist sanctuary is Nagarakertagama, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1365. The name
'Bore-Budur, and thus 'BoroBudur, is thought to have been written by Raffles in English
grammar to mean the nearby village of Bore; most candi are named after a nearby village. If
it followed Javanese language, the monument should have been named 'BudurBoro Raffles
also suggested that 'Budur' might correspond to the modern Javanese word Buda ('ancient) -
i.e. ancient Bord However another archaeologist suggests the second component of the name
(Budur) comes from Javanese term bhudhara (or mountain)

The Portuguese entered Indonesia in 1511 searching for spices and to spread the ideas
of Christianity. The Portuguese were officially the first Europeans to come to Indonesia.

some other areas of the nation. Their other skills included navigation which allowed them to
take charge of the sea and expand Indonesia even further. One of the first areas that were
explored by the Portuguese was Malacca.

control of Indonesia's spice trade industry. The Portuguese eventually lost control in this
specific area and the power was taken from them by the Dutch. Then the Dutch took over
Indonesia completely.
