The whole world knows Borobudur temple is one of the largest temples in the world. Borobudur was built in the 9th century BC by the dynasty Syailendra. The extent of approximately 14,000 square meters, and has a high 35, 29 meters! Borobudur in Magelang regency, Central Java. But people know more about this temple is located in Yogyakarta. Borobudur was once better known as Bhumisan Bharabudhara.
I think we had enough short stories to discuss the history of Borobudur. Now we see the beauty of this temple one by one.
First, by the way its development has been very impressive, with more than 2 million stone blocks andesite. Borobudur Temple building is divided into 3 parts, namely the legs or called Kamadhatu, then the body is also called Ruphadatu, and the top is called Aruphadatu. Each section has its own story.

Kamadhatu describe the awareness that many filled with lust, and also the properties of wild animal. It could be said Kamadhatu describe depraved lust. It can also be interpreted as a sma people have never known religion. The structure of this section alone has 160 reliefs. So much was said in the reliefs, that is about the causal result of what humans do. In addition to relief, this section also has a stupa in 1545. Divided into 73 stupas and in 1472 a small stupa.
