History.

The Sailendra dynasty built the world's largest Buddhist relics between 780-840 AD. The Sailendra dynasty was the ruling dynasty of the time. This relic is built as a place of worship of Buddha and place of pilgrimage. This place contains guidance for people to abstain from the lust of the world and to Buddhist enlightenment and wisdom. This legacy was discovered by British troops in 1814 under the leadership of Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles. The temple area was completely cleaned in 1835.

Borobudur is built in a Mandala style that reflects the universe in Buddhist belief. The structure of this building is box-shaped with four entrances and a circular center point. When viewed from the outside to the inside is divided into two parts of the world of nature which is divided into three zones on the outside, and the nature of Nirvana in the central part.
