Relics of a past culture
This is a series of Hindu temples in Java not far from Yogyakarta. The story I was told when I was there was that there were 1000 temples that were built in one night, but at the time (1993) while they were restoring it they found alot less.
Like Borobudur, the buddhist temple not far away, prambanan holds interest by virtue of being a buddhist temple in an island that is predominantly muslim but was once ruled by hindu kingdoms. Also like borobudur, it has a fascination beyond this because of its intricate carvings.
