Largest Buddhist Temples in Indonesia
Indonesia has some of the largest Buddhist temples in the world. While the 8th-century temple Candi Sewu is Indonesia’s second-largest temple, Candi Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. These temples form an important part of the national heritage of the country and the Buddhist world as well.
Candi Borobudur
Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, is located in the city of Magelang, Indonesia. The temple belongs to Mahayana which is one of the three major branches of Buddhism. While the temple’s history goes back to the 9th century, it received some extensive restorations in the 20th century. During that time, some Indonesian regions were under the control of the British and Dutch. The colonizer nations discovered the existence of Borobudur and while some wanted to destroy it, sensible people were aware that this temple was one of the most impressive architectural feats in the country.
