Ind onesia Yogjakarta Prambanan



after our first knock out from sickness in Solo, we arrived to the other cultural centre of Indonesia Yogjakarta. Sosrowijayan area, where we stay too, is a maze of tourists but therefore quite cheap too. Trip one from here went to Prambanan, the grandest hindu temple complex in Java. Most of the temples have been destroyed during several earthquakes, tough the biggest ones such as Shiva Temple, Brahma and Vishnu temple still stand.



with a wise tourguide we took the tour but from all the useful information that we got on scence, it seems like i have forgotten it almost all. I do remember tough that the temples have each one a statue representing the god it is honoring. Underneath the statue lie some relicts which were there for some kind of praying honor.
The temples were constucted in 3 levels. the lowest was representing the mortal, the middle piece of the temple was for the holy and the highest, that means the top was for the god.
