Prambanan Temple

Prambanan Temple, also known as Rara Jonggrang Temple, is a 9th-century Hindu Temple compound in Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu Temple of ancient Java in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia.

This temple was started by Rakai Pikatan and was meant to mark the return of the Hindu Sanjaya Dynasty to power in Central Java after almost a century of Buddhist Sailendra Dynasty domination.

Prambanan was dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu/Wisnu) and the Transformer (Shiva/Siwa).
