Orientation
Last week I was visiting Borobudur temple. It was a great temple and one of the biggest Buddhist temples in the world.
I had been there for several times and I still love to go there again and again. I know a little bit about the history of the
restoration of the Borobudur Temple.
Event
Borobudur temple was built in 9th-century in (now) Magelang city, Central Java, Indonesia.
That temple was built during the reign of Sailendra Dynasty as the symbolic monument retelling the life of Buddha in which
people can learn about Buddhist religion.
The temple was design in Javanese Buddhist architecture as the acculturation of Indian and Javanese culture.
Some evidences and theories suggest that Borobudur temple was disappeared during the reign of Hindu kingdoms and Islam in
java in 14th-century and the years after it.
It was disappeared because of the eruption of Merapi Mountain that buried most of the surrounding area including Borobudur.
But because of that eruption then the temple was survived and untouchable until in 1814 during the British colonialization, Sir
Thomas Stamford Raffles (the British ruler of Java at that time) got information that there was a hill with carved texture.
After that Thomas Stamford Raffles made a project to dig and clear that area and after 2 mounts working the Borobudur temple
was appeared.
But of course at that time the face of Borobudur was extremely different from it appearance today.
Since it was found the British government restored that temple and continued by the Dutch government. The largest
restoration was undertaken by Indonesian government and UNESCO between 1975 until 1982.
Roerientation
Since that now we can enjoy and learn about the beauty of the Borobudur Temple.
 On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is
not far from Malioboro.
On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the
Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana
and Syiwa temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.
On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky
because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to
Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that
Borobudur gate would be closed.
