บท 92: Prambanan Temple

Prambanan Temple or Roro Jonggrang Temple (Javanese: Gandhi Prambanan) is the largest Hindu (Syaiwa) temple complex in Indonesia which was built in the 9th century AD. This temple is dedicated to Trimurti, the three main Hindu gods, namely Brahma as the creator god, Vishnu as the guardian god, and Shiva as the destroyer god. Based on the Siwagrha inscription, the original name of this temple complex is Siwagrha (Sanskrit which means 'House of Shiva'), and indeed in the garbagriha (main room), this temple resides a statue of Shiva Mahadewa as high as three meters, due to the Shiva sect that prioritizes the worship of Lord Shiva in this temple.
