I have been there, and I want to read more about the place. Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Syailendra dynasty, the temple’s design in Gupta architecture reflects India's influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian.

The temple is decorated with stone carvings represent image from the life of Buddha. When you want to explore here, you can walk around and enjoy the view.

And when you climb to the top of temple, you will see and amaze the detail stone carvings displayed on the temples walls. You will certainly miss a great experience if you visit this enormous temple without learning about its history and importance which are captured on its many reliefs.
