Borobudur is a Hindu-Buddhist temple built in the 9th century under the Syilendra Dynasty of

Abandoned in the 11th century and partially excavated by archaelogist in the early 20th century,
Borobudur temple is well known all over the world. Influenced by the Gupta architecture of
India, the temple is constructed on a hill 46 m (150ft) height and consists of eight steps, like
stone terraces, one top of the other.
The first five terraces are square and surrounded by walls adorned with Buddhist sculpture in
bas-relief, the upper three circular, each with a circle of bell-shaped stupas (Buddhist shrines).
The entire edifice is crowned by a large stupa at the centre of the top circle. The way to summit
extends through some 4.8 km of passages and stairways. The design of Borobudur, a temple-
