The amazing Buddhist Temple at Borabador - just an hours drive north of Yogjakarta on the island of Java.

Equally as impressive as Ankor Wat. Discovered by Raffles in about 1814


The figures for Borobudur are stupendous:

- stone embankment covering the basement: 11,600 cubic metres;

- 1,460 narrative panels covering 1,900 square metres;

- 1,212 decorative panels covering 600 square metres;

- 100 monumental gargoyles to carry away the rainwater;

- 432 Buddha images displayed from the galleries;

- 72 Buddhas displayed in stupas on the great terrace

- 1,472 stupa-shaped ornaments;

Words cannot express the majesty of this temple
