Published for the first time more than a decade ago as a booklet in a modest cyclostyled shape by the Cultural Department of the Indonesian Embassy in India, it has been revised several times in Jakarta in the same form to keep up to date with new discoveries and current theories. Since it seemed to have filled a need felt by foreigners as well as Indonesians to obtain an elementary knowledge of Indonesia's past, it has been thought wise to publish it now in a printed form with the aim to reach a larger public than before.

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.

  • 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.

  • Stūpa to Maṇḍala: Tracing a Buddhist Architectural Development from Kesariya to Borobudur to Tabo1 Swati Chemburkar Jnanapravaha, Mumbai
    Stūpa to Maṇḍala: Tracing a Buddhist Architectural Development from Kesariya to Borobudur to Tabo1 Swati Chemburkar Jnanapravaha, Mumbai INTRODUCTION There were occasions for the direct transfer of Southeast Asian Buddhist developments to India, and there is evidence of at least two specific moments when this occurred. Both instances provide oppor- tunities for a range of interpretative analyses.2 Hiram Woodward, in his “Esoteric Buddhism in Southeast Asia in the Light of Recent Scholarship,” singles out the moment when Bālaputradeva, an exiled scion of the Śailendra dynasty, the builders of the Buddhist Borobudur monument in Central Java, established a 1. This article is based on a paper presented at the conference “Cultural Dialogues between India and Southeast Asia from the 7th to the 16th Centuries” at the K.R. Cama institute, Mumbai, in January 2015. The Kesariya-Borobudur part of this article appears in Swati Chemburkar, “Borobudurs Pāla Forebear? A Field Note from Kesariya, Bihar, India,” in Esoteric Buddhism in Mediaeval Maritime Asia: Networks of Masters, Texts, Icons, ed. Andrea Acri (Singapore: ISEAS, 2016). I owe a special word of thanks to Prof. Tadeusz Skorupski for introducing me to esoteric Buddhism and generously sharing his deep knowledge of texts. I appreciate the critique of my draft by Hiram Woodward and Max Deeg. Despite their feedback, errors may still remain and they are no doubt mine. My sincere thanks to Yves Guichand and Christian Luczanits for graciously providing me the aerial images of the Kesariya stūpa and the layout of Tabo Monastery along with the photos. 2.

  • 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.

    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.

Now readers without any Dutch-language capabilities can finally explore the depths of Moens’ original if controversial theories concerning some of Southeast Asia’s more stunning architectural achievements. 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! The words that appear in (round brackets) are those of the author, while the words that appears in [square brackets] are my own clarifications.
