What is descriptive text
Let’s start with the first set of slides
 Explaination

Description paragraph is an essay that describes an object, place,

atmosphere or situation. So that readers seem to be able to see,
hear, smell, and feel what the writer feels. The description text is
characterized in terms of its content and purpose. The content of
the description text describes the object or place in detail. The
emotional element is contained in the description text as if the
reader could feel, see, and hear what is described. The goal is to
specify or describe the object from the author's point of view. It is
as if the reader can feel, see, and hear the objects that are
described in detail.

PRAMBANAN TEMPLE

Prambanan temple is the largest Hindu temple

complex in Indonesia which was built in the 9th
century AD. This temple is dedicated to
Trimurti, the three main gods of Hinduism,
namely Brahma as the creator god, Vishnu as the
god of preservation, and Shiva as the god of
destruction. Based on the Siwagrha inscription
the original name of this temple complex is
Siwagrha (Sanskrit which means 'Shiva's
House'), and indeed in the garbagriha (main
room) of this temple resides a three-meter tall
Shiva Mahadeva statue which shows that in this
temple Lord Shiva is preferred.
