Travel to Borobudur Temple , One of the Wonder in the World

Borobudur is one of the wonder in the world. Borobudur is a famous temple take place on Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. Borobudur is a buddishm temple, was made by the follower of Buddishm Mahanayan Religion. This temple was made in 800th ( possibly ) when the campaign of Syailendra was hold. Borobudur is a big temple. If you see this temple from the front , you may see this temple like a mount. Very – very big temple….!!!. Maybe Borobudur is the biggest temple in the world. Many theory tried to explained why this temple called Borobudur. One of the theory explained that Borobudur name was made from “Sambharabhudhara” , its means “ gunung” ( mount ). And another theory give the respond that borobudur name was made from “ bara “ and “ beduhur “. Bara means the complex of temple and Beduhur means “tinggi” ( tall ).

The shape of Borobudur temple like a mount, or In Indonesian say punden berundak . There was six floors like a square, three floors with round form, and the main stupa as a top of the temple. Borobudur have no room like another temple that we see. But , Borobudur have many long path using for the way. This path are almost narrow , you must be carefull to walk on it . In this path might be Buddha follower have done their ceremony religion walked arounding the temple. The building have no room and made from many floors, estimate from evolution of punden berundak building, the natural form from Indonesia since prehistory time.

There are many even making a Borubudur temple. In the first even, Borobudur was building on 750th - 800th (possibly). In the first step, Borobudur was staked like a piramyd. But the construction was changing. Second even, widening the foundation, and other steps in this even. Third even, many stupa was built at the top of the steps with a big stupa on the center. Fourth even, there are some changing In made a relief and the other.
