Candi Sewu, Yogyakarta, Indonesia http://travel-photos.curiouscatblog.net/2012/11/21/candi-sewu-yogyakarta-indonesia/ http://travel-photos.curiouscatblog.net/2012/11/21/candi-sewu-yogyakarta-indonesia/#comments Thu, 22 Nov 2012 03:08:09 +0000 http://travel-photos.curiouscatblog.net/?p=504 photo of Candi Sewu entrance

Sewu temple is the second largest Buddhist temple in Indonesia, Borobudur is the largest. The Sewa temple is located in the Prambanan temple complex in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (about 1 km away from Prambanan temple). They are rebuilding many of the temples on the site which now lie in ruins.

Candi Sewu was likely built in the 8th century as the royal palace at the end of the Rakai Panangkaran kingdom.

This site is well worth a visit. It is located outside Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia. I have posted more photos and a video from my visit to the Borobudur Buddhist temple site, which is a world heritage site.

Borobudur includes 504 Buddha statues. I didn’t notice the bat in this photo, when I was visiting.
