This, and others like it, is near Yogjakarta where our brother Paulus Wobowo has the small group that I visited. Since Indonesia is now nearly all Muslim, this Hindu structure is pretty much just an historical site. But hundreds of years ago it was used as a temple of worship.
That is what it looks like to me, creepeeee, like how my grand daughter would express it. These temples would have the 6 million hindu gods in the structure itself! Designed with the help of demonic spirits.
Wild. It looks very Indian Jones and temple of doom

Really unique architecture. Apparently they still do Hindu ceremonies here. This is from Wikipedia: a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva.
Wow! What is this exactly? A temple?
Yes, now an historical site, once a temple
That has to be one of the more interesting structures I’ve seen in a while.
Mornin Skip! My husband wants to know if they got a building permit before they built this? LOL! It is truly an amazing site. Thanks for sharing!
No building permit, but I am sure they had to pay a lot of bribes, even to the gods. 🙂
never seen a structure like this before, where exactly is this? very interesting artitecture

I found some info on Wikipedia – pretty interesting history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prambanan
Well that was interestingly creepy!
Thanks Ric
