Candi Prambanan

Another not to miss temples to visit at Jogjakarta, Candi Prambanan

We nearly miss this as of some little incident happened...

Yet, we did make the visit to the temples before leaving Jogjakarta.

It was a good one!

 

Candi Prambanan was titled as the world heritage site too

The temples history is made up of the combination of Hinduism Empire and Buddhism Empire

How they have fought for their empire, and how they have combined the power of both empires

To sustain for the most powerful empire at that time.

 

Entrance to the temple: 125,000 rupiah per person

Temples will be closed by 5pm everyday,

there's Ramayana Dance performance in the park at the evening, costing 250,000 rupiah per person

we didn't manage to watch the performance, due to our time arranged was out of schedule

and we didn't feel like watching it after viewing some comments from TripAdvisor.

We know the temples history quite well, as we hired a great tour guide, Mr. Subarto

He did much study and research on this temple and the Candi Borobudur too 

 

There are many temples here, which some were collapsed due to earthquake

Now, they are still in the progress of re-building some of the temples.

So we could see the fallen stones lying on the ground, waiting to be re-built.

The main three of them are Brahma Temple in the north, Vishnu Temple in the south, and the biggest among the three which lies between Brahma and Vishnu temples is Shiva Temple

 

A closed up on the collapsed temples.

It shall be taking a long time to re-build, as it's not easy as just build but to join up the stones based on the crafts made to the stones, it's like making up the jig-saw puzzle.

Another place we can see the great ancient masterpieces of Hinduism and Buddhism architecture

All stones were crafted and stacking up to form the temple 

 

It was a hot sunny day when we were here.

So coincidence, there are school activities conducted at the park near the temples

So there were many school kids found visiting the temples too.

 

School kids with happy faces.

This is the most happy times of every kid

I knew it as I came across the times like this too!

 

The kids were so happy while taking picture with me!

I have no idea what made them so excited.

May be it's purely the happiness they have at their age!

Kids are adorable! I am happy too!
