Forms and Types of Borobudur's Stupas
Cultural Dynamics in a Globalized World – Budianta et al. (Eds) © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-1-138-62664-5 Forms and types of Borobudur’s stupas A. Revianur Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia ABSTRACT: Candi Borobudur (Borobudur Temple) is the world’s largest Mahayana- Vajrayana Buddhist temple, which is located in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. It was built by the Sailendra dynasty between the 8th and 9th centuries A.D. The temple was built with 10-step pyramid terraces, which are decorated with 2,672 relief panels, 504 Buddha stat- ues, and 1,537 stupas. In this study, we aim to examine the forms and types of the stupas of Borobudur, which are composed of 1,536 secondary stupas and 1 primary stupa compared to those of other stupas found in Java and Bali islands. The stupas at Borobudur located from the second to ninth terraces are called the secondary stupas, whereas the one located on the tenth terrace is called the primary stupa. They are symbolic stupas, which consist of a base (Prasadha), a bell-shaped body (anda), a top support (harmika), and a top (yashti). The stupas are divided into four types, namely plain stupas, hollow space-square stupas, hollow space-diamond stupas containing the Dhyani Buddha Vairocana that represents the turn- ing wheel of the dharma and the single main stupa that becomes the centre of Borobudur Temple reflecting Sailedra art-style. Here, we use a qualitative method, which is based on field observation and historical sources. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive description of the stupas in Borobudur from the perspective of historical archaeology.

UNESCO World Heritage Site Yogyakarta 57454 Indonesia
Candi Perwara, Bokoharjo, Prambanan, Kabupaten Sleman, Daerah Istimewa UNESCO World Heritage Site Yogyakarta 57454 Indonesia unesco | 1 PRAMBANAN THE LEGEND The astonishing temples of Prambanan, believed to be the proof of love from Bandung Bondowoso to Princess Loro Jonggrang, are the best remaining examples of Java’s extended period of Hindu culture. Located 17 kilometers northeast of Yogyakarta, the temples boast of a wealth of sculptural detail and are considered to be one of Indonesia’s most phenomenal examples of Hindu art. Legend says that there were once a thousand temples standing in the area, but due to a great earthquake in the 16th century, accelerated by the treasure hunters and locals searching for building material, many of the temples are gone now. Initiatives to restore the temples have been conducted to some extent, though many stand in ruin today. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Prambanan Temple Compounds. PHOTO BY MICHAEL TURTLE prambanan | 2 prambanan | 3 CONSTRUCTION The Prambanan temple is the largest Hindu temple of ancient Java, and the first building was completed in the mid-9th century. It was likely started by Rakai Pikatan as the Hindu Sanjaya Dynasty’s answer to the Buddhist Sailendra Dynasty’s Borobudur and Sewu temples nearby. Historians suggest that the construction of Prambanan probably was meant to mark the return of the Hindu Sanjaya Dynasty to power in Central Java after almost a century of Buddhist Sailendra Dynasty domination. The construction of this massive Hindu temple signifies that the Medang court had shifted its patronage from Mahayana Buddhism to Shaivite Hinduism.

Domestic Case Study 2018 Sekolah Tinggi Pariwasata Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta Pesona Candi Cetho sebagai Salah Satu daya Tarik Wisata di Karanganyar jawa Tengah Tri Joko Setyanto 1702813 Sekolah Tinggi Pariwasata Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta Abstract : Makalah ini merupakan hasil laporan Domestic Case Study untuk syarat publikasi ilmiah di Sekolah Tinggi Pariwasata Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta dengan Judul Pesona Candi Cetho sebagai Salah Satu daya Tarik Wisata di Karanganyar jawa Tengah. 1. Pendahuluan Domestic Case Study (DCS) adalah program wajib yang harus diikuti oleh mahasiswa Semester VIII Program Studi Hospitality Sekolah Tingi Pariwisata Ambarrukmo (STiPRAM). Adapun tujuan dari DCS adalah agar mahasiswa mampu menganalisa kondisi pariwisata dalam negeri yang ada pada saat ini [1]. Pada tanggal 12 - 14 januari 2018 penulis mengikuti kegiatan Jambore Nasional yang diadakan di Bumi Perkemahan Karang Pramuka Kaliurang, Kabupaten Sleman dengan tema “Seminar Alam.” Jambore Nasional tersebut diikuti sekitar 350 mahasiswa pariwisata yang berasal dari Yogyakarta, Bali, Bandung dan Semarang. Adapun pembicara pada acara Jambore Nasional tersebut antara lain [2] : 1. Prof Dr. M Baiquni, M.A. (Guru Besar Geografi Regional UGM) dengan materi Community Based Tourism. 2. Prof Azril Azahari, P.Hd. (Ketua Umum Ikatan Cendikiawan Pariwisata Indonesia) dengan materi Responsible Tourism. 3. AKBP Sinungwati, SH, M.IP (Kasubdit Bintibluh Ditbinmas Polda DIY) dengan materi Tourism Security. Penulis mengambil judul “Pesona Candi Cetho Sebagai Salah Satu Daya Tarik Wisata Di Karanganyar Jawa Tengah” karena potensi Candi Cetho sangat besar dan harus tetap terjaga sehingga perlu diterapkan responsible tourism. Responsible tourism atau pariwisata bertanggung jawab adalah pendekatan pengelolaan pariwisata yang meminimalisir dampak lingkungan dari kegiatan pariwisata [7]. Tanggung jawab memelihara lingkungan bukan hanya terbatas pada pemerintah, para penyelenggara atau pengelola tempat liburan itu saja, tetapi juga masyarakat setempat dan wisatawan [8].

Candi, Space and Landscape
Degroot Candi, Space and Landscape A study on the distribution, orientation and spatial Candi, Space and Landscape organization of Central Javanese temple remains Central Javanese temples were not built anywhere and anyhow. On the con- trary: their positions within the landscape and their architectural designs were determined by socio-cultural, religious and economic factors. This book ex- plores the correlations between temple distribution, natural surroundings and architectural design to understand how Central Javanese people structured Candi, Space and Landscape the space around them, and how the religious landscape thus created devel- oped. Besides questions related to territory and landscape, this book analyzes the structure of the built space and its possible relations with conceptualized space, showing the influence of imported Indian concepts, as well as their limits. Going off the beaten track, the present study explores the hundreds of small sites that scatter the landscape of Central Java. It is also one of very few stud- ies to apply the methods of spatial archaeology to Central Javanese temples and the first in almost one century to present a descriptive inventory of the remains of this region.

I would also be grateful for any suggestion to further improve the translation of the text, particularly in view of the complicated subject and the deep but regrettably not always clearly expounded views of Moens. In particular, any assistance from a native French-language speaker in translating the quotations from Paul Mus citied herein would be most welcome!
