Travel Guides to Indonesia
We used Lonely Planet`s Indonesia book on our travels around Indonesia and Bali. It was great!
1) 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 :-
The Candi Shiva Mahadeva temple, dedicated to Shiva, is not only the largest of the temples of Prambanan but also the finest. The main spire is incredibly aroun 40-5 m high and its stones are beautifully carved.
The Shiva temple contains five chambers, four small chambers in every cardinal direction, and one bigger main chamber in the central part of the temple.
Its base is decorated with small lions flanked by kalpatura (trees of heaven), as well as stylized half-human and half-bird kinnara (heavenly beings). Aren`t they 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥?
2) 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐮 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 :-
The Candi Vishnu temple is smaller than the impressive Shiva Mahadeva temple and sits just north of it, reaching around 30-40 m in height. Of course, we had to walk the steep stairs up to the top plateau. And it was totally worth the climb as the temple is magnificent containing reliefs telling the story of Lord Krishna who is the hero of the Mahabharata story.
The most impressive part of this temple is, in my opinion, the statue of a four-armed Vishnu the Preserver in the inner chamber. It is so really big and beautifully carved.
3)𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐚 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:-
This temple is the twin temple of Candi Vishnu, as they are exactly similar! It is situated just south of the big Candi Shiva Mahadeva temple, so the two twin temples make a nice symmetric scene.
When you enter this temple, look up and admire the spectacular “monster mouth” doorway, which is beautiful.
𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 :-
Nandi temple – Contains a statue of bull Nandi belonging to Shiva, as well as the statue of Chandra the god of the moon, and Surya the god of the sun. Chandra stands on his carriage pulled by 10 horses, and the statue of Surya is also standing on a carriage pulled by 7 horses.
Hamsa/ Angsa temple – Contains no statue, but it probably once housed a statue of the sacred swan Hamsa for the god Brahma.
Garuda temple – Neither this temple contains a statue. Probably this temple once contained the statue of kite Garuda belonging to god Vishnu. Garuda holds an important role for Indonesia, as it serves as the national symbol of Indonesia, and also as the name of the airline Garuda Indonesia.
