Borobudur（婆罗浮屠塔）

Shmily

  This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, is located in central Java. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The Temple is seen as an outstanding dynastic monument of the Syailendra Dynasty that ruled Java for around 5th centuries until the 10th century.
  The whole structure shows a unique blending of the very central ideas of ancestor worship, related to the idea of a terraced mountain, combined with the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana.
  The reasons why it was abandoned have never been discovered although it thought that it may have been linked to the rise of Islam in Indonesia. It was rediscovered in 1885 by the British governor Thomas Stamford Raffles and returned to its former glory, being fully restored in 1907.
  The Borobudur Heritage Conservation Office has conducted community development programs targeting especially at the youth to raise their awareness. In improving and empowering local community as specialist guide for Borobudur Temple Compounds, several training programs have been conducted. The community development related to economical sector (small enterprises that produce traditional handicrafts, culinaries, etc) have already being conducted by the municipalities of Magelang Regency and Central Java Province.

                                              some supplementary introductions to the Borobudur
      Structure: Laid out in the form of a lotus, the sacred flower of Buddha, Borobudur Temple Compounds is an exceptional reflection of a blending of the very central idea of indigenous ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. The ten mounting terraces of the entire structure correspond to the successive stages that the Bodhisattva has to achieve before attaining to Buddhahood.
      Significance: Borobudur Temple Compounds with its stepped, unroofed pyramid consisting of ten superimposing terraces, crowned by a large bell-shaped dome is a harmonious marriage of stupas, temple and mountain that is a masterpiece of Buddhist architecture and monumental arts.
      Borobudur Temple Compounds is an outstanding example of Indonesia’s art and architecture from between the early 8th and late 9th centuries that exerted considerable influence on an architectural revival between the mid-13th and early 16th centuries.
      Today's risks:1.The main threat to the ensemble is from development that could compromise the extraordinary relationship between the main monument and its wider setting.
2.Tourism also exerts considerable pressure on the property and its hinterland.
3.The eruption of Mount Merapi is also considered as one of the potential threats because of its deposit acidic ash.
