Plataran Borobudur Encounter PLATARAN BOROBUDUR ENCOUNTER ABOUT THE DESTINATION Plataran Borobudur Resort & Spa is located within the vicinity of ‘Kedu Plain’, also known as Progo River Valley or ‘The Garden of Java’. This fertile volcanic plain that lies between Mount Sumbing and Mount Sundoro to the west, and Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi to the east has played a significant role in Central Javanese history due to the great number of religious and cultural archaeological sites, including the Borobudur.

BOROBUDUR Steps away from the resort, one can witness one the of the world’s largest Buddhist temples - Borobudur. Based on the archeological evidence, Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is one of Indonesia’s most iconic tourism destinations, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage and majestic history.

The research area for this investigation is Northeastern Thailand, colloquially known as Isan. Three ethnic communities were purposively selected to comprise the research populations. These were the Tai Korat of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Tai Khmer of Buriram Province and Tai Lao of Ubon Ratchatani Province. Data collection tools were basic survey, participant and non-participant observation, structured and non-structured interview, focus group discussion and workshop. Results show that there are two major groups of Buddhist temple murals in Isan: those depicting ancient culture and customs painted prior to 1957 and contemporary murals painted after 1957. For the most part, murals are found on the walls of the ubosot and the instruction halls of the temples. The objectives of mural paintings were to worship the lord Buddha, decorate the temples, provide education to community members and maintain historical records.

Komponen lingkungan yang digambarkan pada panel relief dan menarik untuk dikaji, salah satunya adalah penggambaran tanaman pada relief. Tanaman merupakan salah satu elemen penting untuk menunjang kehidupan manusia pada masa lalu khususnya pada masa perkembangan Hindhu/ Buddha periode Jawa Tengah. Indentifikasi tanaman dapat dilakukan dengan pengamatan langsung. Setelah tanaman dapat diidentifikasi jenisnya maka konteks pengambaran tanaman berperan penting dalam menentukan kondisi lingkungan dimana tanaman tersebut tumbuh. Apabila ditarik pada masa kini, maka indentifikasi tanaman dan klasifikasi konteks penggambaran tanaman dapat bermanfaat dalam pelestarian lanskap budaya Kawasan Strategis Nasional Borobudur. Kata Kunci: relief tanaman; jawa kuno; candi borobudur; candi mendut; tanaman; kawasan borobudur. ABSTRACT The relief story of Borobudur Temple and Mendut Temple is a depiction of the Old Javanese environment of the 8th-10th century CE. The environmental components depicted in the relief panels are interesting to study, one of which is the depiction of plants in relief. Plants are one of the important elements to support human life in the past, especially during the Hindu-Buddhist period of Central Java. Plants identification can be done by direct observation. After the plants can be identified, the context of plant propagation plays an important role in determining the environmental conditions in which the plants grow.

  • A Lesson from Borobudur
    5 Changing perspectives on the relationship between heritage, landscape and local communities: A lesson from Borobudur Daud A. Tanudirjo, Jurusan Arkeologi, Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta Figure 1. The grandeur of the Borobudur World Heritage site has attracted visitors for its massive stone structure adorned with fabulous reliefs and stupas laid out in the configuration of a Buddhist Mandala. Source: Daud Tanudirjo. The grandeur of Borobudur has fascinated almost every visitor who views it. Situated in the heart of the island of Java in Indonesia, this remarkable stone structure is considered to be the most significant Buddhist monument in the Southern Hemisphere (Figure 1). In 1991, Borobudur 66 Transcending the Culture–Nature Divide in Cultural Heritage was inscribed on the World Heritage List, together with two other smaller stone temples, Pawon and Mendut. These three stone temples are located over a straight line of about three kilometres on an east-west orientation, and are regarded as belonging to a single temple complex (Figure 2). Known as the Borobudur Temple Compound, this World Heritage Site meets at least three criteria of the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention: (i) to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius, (ii) to exhibit an important interchange of human values over a span of time or within cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town planning or landscape design, and (iii) to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literacy works of outstanding universal value (see also Matsuura 2005).

Yogyakarta is a center for Javanese traditional arts and culture, the ancient temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, and is home to a royal family whose lineage goes back to the Mataram era in the 16th century. It is also a center of Indonesian higher education. Striking in the early morning hours, the earthquake took over 5,700 lives, injured between 40,000 and 60,000 more, and robbed hundreds of thousands of their homes and livelihoods. As if the devastation of the earthquake were not enough, the disaster may not be over. The increase in Mount Merapi’s volcanic activity, which began in March 2006, is producing lava flows, toxic gases, and clouds of ash, prompting the evacuation of tens of thousands of people. This report presents a preliminary assessment of the damage and losses caused by the earthquake.

Rangkaian tersebut merupakan sistem tanda yang oleh masyarakat Mataram Kuna abad IX Masehi diberi makna sesuai dengan konvensi yang berlaku pada waktu itu. Membuktikan ketiga candi yang merupakan sistem tanda dengan sebuah makna dapat dijelaskan dengan pendekatan semiotika struktural (Ferdinan de Saussure) yang mendasarkan pada elemen- elemen semiotika yaitu tanda (penanda-petanda), dan poros tanda (sintagmatik dan paradigmatik). Elemen tanda dari lingkungan yang dapat dirunut yaitu penanda ruang, elevasi, jenis tanah, dan sumber air, sedangkan elemen tanda dari candi yaitu arsitektur, arca, dan relief cerita. Tanda tersebut tidak dapat dilihat secara terpisah-pisah tetapi dilihat dalam relasi dengan tanda yang lain dalam poros sintagmatik dan paradigmatik. Untuk itu urutan tanda dimulai dari Candi Mendut-Candi Pawon- Candi Borobudur yang tersusun dalam susunan tertentu (jukstaposisi) dengan masing- masing makna simbolisnya. Tanda-tanda pada Candi Mendut – Candi Pawon – Candi Borobudur yaitu lokasi, tanah- batuan, sumber air, elevasi, arca, dan relief cerita, tersusun dalam rangkaian yang memperlihatkan sebuah struktur yang bermakna. Susunan tersebut bersifat linier yakni mengikuti aturan tertentu. Apabila aturan penataan tersebut berubah maka maknanyapun akan berbeda. Hal inilah yang membuktikan bahwa ketiga candi tersebut membentuk kesatuan rangkaian perlambang yang mengacu pada makna simbolis berdasarkan konsep ajaran agama Buddha pada masa Mataram Kuna abad IX Masehi.

  • 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.
