 Borobudur Temple

Borobudur is a Hindhu-Buddhist temple built in the 9th century under the Syailendra dynasty of Java.
It is located near Magelang, on the island of Java, Indonesia. Abandoned in the 11th century and
partially excavated by archaeologists in the early 70th century, Borobudur temple is well-known all
over the world.

Influenced by the Gupta architecture of India, the on a hill of 46 m (150 ft) high and consists of eight-
step like stone terraces, one on top of temple is constructed he other. The first five terraces are square
and surrounded by walls adorned with Buddhist sculpture in bas-relief; the upper three are circular,
each with a circle of bell-shaped stupas (Buddhist shrines). The entire edifice is crowned by a large
stupa at the center of the top circle. The way to the summit extends through some 4.8 km of passages
and stairways.

The design of Borobudur, a temple-mountain, symbolizing the structure of the universe, is similar to
the temples built at Angkor, Cambodia. The Borobudur Temple, rededicated as an Indonesian national
monument in 1983, is a valuable treasure for Indonesian people 
 Pagaruyuang

Pagaruyung Palace (Minangkabau: Istano Basa Pagaruyuang) is the istana (royal palace) of the former
Pagaruyung Kingdom, located in Tanjung Emas sub district near Batusangkar town, Tanah Datar Regency,
West Sumatra, Indonesia. It was built in the traditional Minangkabau rumah gadang vernacular architectural
style, but had a number of atypical elements including three storeys structure and larger dimension compares
to common rumah gadang.

Although today there is no king or royal family resides in this palace, since the Pagaruyung Kingdom was
disbanded in 1833, the palace still held in high esteem among Minangkabau people as the descendants of
scattered Minang nobles (bangsawan) still seeks their root and link to the former royal house of Pagaruyung.
The palace has been destroyed by fire for several times, in 1804, 1966 and 2007. It has been rebuilt again and
today functions as a museum and a popular tourist attraction.

The original Pagaruyung palace was built entirely from timber masonry, however the current building frame
was built using modern concrete structure. Nevertheless, the Istano Basa Pagaruyung was quite faithfully
restored using traditional technique and materials adorned with 60 carvings that signify Minang philosophy
and culture.The palace has three storeys with 72 pillars and the typical rumah gadang gonjong, with horn-like
curved roof made from 26 tons of black ijuk aren palm fibers. The palace is also furnished with over 100
replicas of Minang antique furnitures and artefacts, aiming the palace to be revived as Minangkabau cultural
center as well as tourism attraction in West Sumatra.
