Yogya trip (3) - Prambanan









Prambanan is a 9th century Hindu temple which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is much lesser known than Boroburdur, which receives more tourists (than it can actually handle) and has been featured widely in travel literature. Some parts of the temple were destroyed by earthquake tremors a few years ago and the loose stones were piled neatly at one side, waiting to be used for reconstruction. Apparently, the stones have been sitting around for a few years now, presumably because the government is waiting for funds to come in for the reconstruction works.
