Join us on this visit to the incredible Candi Prambanan temple in Java, Indonesia. This is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, which is regarded as the biggest muslim country in the world by population. About a thousand years ago, Java was predominantly Hindu - which is when the temple was built. The Prambanan temple is actually an ancient temple built in honor of Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (being the main deity) here. The tickets to visit Prambanan temple are very expensive - its about IDR 375k per person for a one day ticket and we spent nearly all day from 11 am to closing time at 5 pm.

Thanks to all the kind Indonesians who clarified this: Indonesia is not an Islamic country, nor considered a "Muslim country" but rather the country with the most practicing Muslims - in reality, it's a beautiful country with diversity very much like our own home country India. So sorry for the lack of clarity while we speak in the video, but hopefully it's clear and accurate now! Thanks again for being kind and explaining this to us 🤓🤓
sorry to say this, we the biggest muslim population country but protect hindu temple, do u support many mosque destroyer in india ?
Indonesian is an OIC member, it means that Indonesia is an Islamic Country.
Yogyakarta was the main hub of the pre-islamic Indonesian Hindu Buddhist civilization. Our ancestors where adherants to Sanatana Dharma for thousands of years.. even Indonesian muslims now you can see them having Sanskrit names like Adhi, Putra, Sena, Sita, Rama, Devi, etc
@@apinbozzo3457 it's not
@@fajarkurniawan9434 What do you means, Indonesia is indeed a member of the OIC, which is an organization for Islamic countries.
You may not believe that Prambanan was built almost at the same time as Borobudur ( world largest Budhist temple) built. I am so proud of our ancestor for practicing life in diversity since our early civilization. Hope we will be able to maintain and pass it to our next generation just like what they did.
This is so beautifully said! Thanks for sharing this 🤩
Even though Indonesia is a Muslim majority, we all respect each other between different religions in Indonesia.🙏🏻👍💪🇮🇩
Thats good to know! 😃🇮🇩
@@TheBackpacksters 😂😂 he lied to you.
It would be different if Hindu or christians are the majority
Example? India, Myanmar, France, Norway and so many Euro nations
@@luw4kk3mbang just because you can't respect other religions, doesn't mean the others lie to you
@@afififim6131 keep going with your taqqiya.
Indonesia is not Islamic, it is a country with the largest practicing Muslim population in the world. Saying Indonesia is Islamic is like saying the US and Russia as the largest Christian country in the world or India is the largest Hindu country in the world.
Thank you for clarifying that Dian! 😃

Terima Kasih Joerhe! Indonesia is truly beautiful and the people are very warm and welcoming! 😃
Indonesia and India have many similarities in religion, culture and history. We take good care of all the historical heritage of our ancestors...
True! Two big countries with great history some of which is shared 🤩
We even "imported" some of India's royalties to be our own.😹😹😹
No wonder the direction-challanged european mistaken us as india.
@@TheBackpacksters even our country names are almost similar right? 😊
In ancient times, there were many similarities in the Nusantara (ancient indonesia) region. However, now, only Bali takes good care of all the historical heritage of our ancestors, nor java (dissapear slowly), nor east indonesia, papua (different culture)
@@TheBackpacksters stop saying that..!
Two big country
Rather...
Two Big Bros
Coz those 2 related distance siblings😂
the real name of Prambanan temple is Siwaghra / Sivaghra .. the meaning is "The house of Siwa/Siva" .Actually, when allowed to explore the niches of the temple, there are stories carved into the temple walls. Reliefs about the Ramayana story that is completely different from the story that many people know will be beautifully presented on the wall. because Sinta is really told with a very sad story because she had to be expelled from her husband's kingdom while pregnant and had to give birth in the forest, and her twin boys were named Kusa and Lawa by Resi Valmiki in the hut in the forest. this story is what not many people know, even though it is clearly engraved there.
That's so fascinating to learn about! We come from Bangalore, which is very close to a mountain which as per Hindu mythology was the very place where Lava and Kusha met Rama while Sita was living with her sons in the forest!
Btw, this is an underrated temple and really appreciate how indonesians strongly value their ancient history so much! 🙏🏻🇮🇩🤩
@@TheBackpacksters Are you really from Bangalore? wow, that's very encouraging. because my comment about kusa and lava turned out to be not so far from where you both live. because only a few know about the child of Sinta / Sita and Rama. because in Indonesia the history is not told in detail and thoroughly. Only until the moment when Sinta/Sita managed to survive the flames while proving her chastity. And typical Indonesians prefer stories with beautiful endings, and will definitely not believe that the authentic Ramayana story is a sad story, especially for Sinta/Sita.
Fyi, The scene of Lava y Kusha, sons of rama y sinta are exist on the balaustrade on the inner wall of Brahma temple,
The Ramayana story start from the Siva, AND finish on the Brahma.
While the story of Krisnayana carved on the Wisnu temple
@@TheBackpacksters That's Indonesia. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Diversity in Unity
all know that story in india
it is not sad story , the conclusion of story is good over evil
In Indonesia we have the largest mosque, the largest buddhis temple in the world, 6th largest Hindu temple, the tallest Hindu statue in the world, the tallest Jesus Christ statue, the tallest Confucianism too
You guys have so many records in this! Wow! Thats so cool! 🤩
@@Kalinggapura your info are not update, statue in Brazil is 30 meter high (38 with base) while Jesus burake "Patung Yesus Kristus Memberkati" statue in toraja indonesia is 40 meter high..
not only the tallest but also the highest at 1600mpl.
And you know what? another Jesus Christ statue in Yoba samosir would be set another record with 60 meter, its under construction..
pretty shocking right? considering its the largest muslim population country in the world
@@Kalinggapura If you are Indonesian you have to learn more about your own country Indonesia than studying other people's countries
india is most hindu population , 2 largest muslim population , largest sikh population , largest zoroastrian population , birthplace of buddhism , largest jain population
And India has most Mosque in the world.
In this Video you mentioned the role of a "British colonial entity" in the discovery and reconstruction of Prambanan temple. FYI, Indonesia was known as a Dutch (and not British) colony. The British had only ruled this region for a very short time (1811 - 1816). During the peak of Napoleon era, the Netherlands, and hence also all Dutch's colonial territories became parts of the Napoleonic empire. After defeating Napoleon, the British also (shortly) "pushed" the Dutch out from their East-India colony. During this short-time, Thomas Stamford Raffles, a British, became it's Governor General. But he was, later, better known as the "founder" of Singapore. As the Wikipedia source describes, it was the Dutch (in the VOC era) who in 1733 discovered Prambanan site as a ruin of "Brahmin temples". After this, both the Dutch and also the British (during the short colonial period by Raffles) had "plans" to restore the temple, but had not done real / significant works for this. It was not until 1915 that the Dutch /Netherlands-Indie colonial government finally made serious and systematic efforts to restore the temple. These works have been taken over and continued by the Indonesian government after our independence (1945) with the support of UNESCO.
Thank you for making this so informative and clear! We read off of the pamphlet given with the ticket and a quick Google search, so we definitely didn't learn this well enough. Do you enjoy history Ihsan? 🤓🤓
@@TheBackpacksters , yes, indeed, Shishira & Navneeth 😃
Actually, the temple complexes were found by British troops and not Dutch. Raffles instructed the excavation of the temple, also to Borobudur temple in the same region.
@@jusufagung true
Also kind of misleading of that pamphlet. Shivagrha or Prambanan was never discovered, because it was never lost from sight or burried like Borobudur. Abandoned yes. It was mentioned in the Kakawin (long narrative poem) Lubdhaka written by Mpu Tanakung from the 14th century. Regarding Raffles the Governor General from British Empire, he ordered to map out the temples in region of Kedu Highlands. Thank you for visiting. ❤❤❤❤
Amazing temples and architecture.
Indeed! It's very fascinating 🤩

let's go to the biggest Borobudur temple in Indonesia too, there are many temples
Would've definitely gone there if not for the steep ticket prices 😅
Amazing temple and the greenery around too. Very nicely explained about the significance and history of the temple.
Glad you liked this one! 🤓🤓
I'm Indonesian and somehow feel ashamed of myself while watching this, because when I visited Prambanan, I only knew the main (candi) temple, didn't know that it's a complex and there are other temples inside the complex. Thanks for the insight

INDONESIA is a COUNTRY and a NATION created and born for WORLD PEACE.
Good to know 😃
Indonesia is not an Islamic country, only the majority of the population is Muslim with the largest number in the world. Islamic countries use Islamic law, Indonesia does not. the country's symbol using islamic symbolizes, Indonesia does not. The only Islamic countries in Southeast Asia are Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. India is also not an Islamic country but the number of adherents is very large.
Thank you for adding more clarity to this! 🤓
India,Nepal and Mauritius are Hindu countries
Hi Shishira and Navneeth. Glad you guys enjoyed your time in Central Java with its beautiful temples. Indonesia do have many things to offer and many places to explore, especially if you dare to be more adventurous.
Fyi, talking about pronounciation, Indonesian pronounces the letter C as CH. So, the word Candi (temple) is pronounced like the word Chaandi (silver) in Hindi. Other examples are Catur => Chātur, Citra => Chitrā, Cakra => Chākrā. Also the letter A is mostly pronounced like a long A (आ) in Hindi. Hope that helps. Enjoy the rest of your trip! 😊
Terima Kasih for this information, Ardhy! 🤩 We absolutely loved exploring Indonesia and wanted to see more of Java (we spent two months in Bali before arriving here) but a sudden change of plans has occurred... We'll explain more in the next video 😅
@@TheBackpacksters oh I see.. Hope everything's okay and you'll be back to Indonesia very soon. Now I'm binge-watching your Indonesian trip episodes. I always love the bloopers part, haha.. Have a great day, stay happy and healthy! 😄

Both Sanjaya (Hindu) and Syailendra (Buddhist) dynasty are from Old Mataram (Medang) Kingdom, it was build after Borobudur and also after Rakai Pikatan (Sanjaya) married to Pramodyawardhani (Syailendra) and he ruled Old Mataram Kingdom. It was build for the harmony of coesxistence between religion. This thalasocracy kingdom is actually one of the most powerful kingdom in south-east asia. In fact, the restauration of prambanan temple initiated by The Dutch. The name of the temple is originally Shivagrha. Today prambanan is still used for hindu ceremonies.
Let me tell you a bit of story here 😊 :
The Mataram Kingdom today is still exist, it is called Mataram Yogyakarta but not Hindu-Buddhist, it is now based on Islam... but heavily influenced by Hindu culture. The King now is also the governor of yogyakarta. Fact : whoever the king of Mataram Yogyakarta, he/she’ll become the governor of Yogyakarta Province. Mataram Kingdom nowadays divided in 4 : Mataram Yogyakarta, Mataram Surakarta (now Surakarta city), Pakualaman (part of Yogyakarta), Mangkunegaran (part of Surakarta). The Kings are also still exist, but the one who still has political power is the Sultan of Mataram Yogyakarta. You can visit the palace to also experience the culture. There are lot’s of kingdom in all accros Indonesia & they are still exist, also with the king/queen, eventhough they don’t have political power now but they influence in Indonesia’s sosiocultural existence, to preserve the culture.
Your comment was super informative! Thanks for sharing this Elly! 🤓🤓
Sanjaya dynasty never exist since the beginning Because Sanjaya itself belong to Syailendra ,
Prambanan was built as victory monument after Bandung bodowoso defeated aborigin Ditya rakush / Jötunn Prabu Baka and Rara Jongrang of Karungkala kingdom .
Prabu baka was Ditya rakush/ Jötunn offspring of Yamadipati/ Ymir/ Jamshid , Yamadipati was Son of Surya son of ismaya , Ismaya and his 4 son actually got southern hemisphere (afrika,Australia) while Manikmaya and and his 5 sons (Sambu,Wisnu,Indra,Brahma, and Bayu ) got Middle Earth (Indonesia) Medang Empire as Brahma vansha simply claimed Java island as their inherited land .
@@NPC2358 Bandung Bondowoso is just folk myths
@@NPC2358 yes, the historians also said that, but Bandung Bondowoso is just a story 😊 that enrich our culture anyway. Prambanan was built for the harmony of coexistence between religion.
@@dhenoyznero true, that is a story, not history, the story of Bandung Bondowoso exist in the new era of java (Kasultanan era) after the end of the classic era of java (hindu-buddhist era).

Indonesia adalah negara besar, yaitu negara yang mempunyai toleransi yang tinggi dan selalu menjunjung kemanusiaan serta beragama. Memang Negara Indonesia mayoritas Muslim namun bukan berarti agaman minorotas direndahkan..itu bukanlah sifat Indonesia. Indonesia selalu menghargai agama lain dan melindungi agama lain. Indonesia terkenal dengan Budaya dan Adat serta Adab. Indonesia selalu ramah terhadap siapapun yang ingin mengenal lebih dalam Indonesia. Tidak sedikit Warga Asing jatih cinta dengan Indonesia bahkan rela meninggalkan negaranya demi menjadi Warga Negara Indonesia. Tapi ingat Indonesia Negara beradab karena itulah yang membedahkan dg negara-negara lain. Itulah Indonesia. Keramahan dan kesedrehanaan akan kita temui dimanapun...

You can visit other Hindu (and Buddhist) temples in Solo/Surakarta, Dieng, Klaten (Central Java) and Trowulan (East Java). Central Java also has modern statues installed in public places such as Arjuna-Krishna statue in Boyolali, Pandawa statues in Sukoharjo, Ganesha statue in Salatiga, etc.
Trowulan, Mojokerto was the former capital of Majapahit empire and there are temples and plenty archeological sites there. There is also Hindu community living in Tengger, below Bromo mountain that has 700 years old Ganesha murti on top.

No... The Brittish were the ones looting it. You can see on the temple that so many statues are gone from its place. Including the head of the Buddha statues in Borobudur. also so many Hindu temples in Dieng plateau.
The Dutch were the ones initiate the restorations, and continued by the Indonesian government.
Ah okay! So those missing monuments are probably in the museums there now?

Arjun in India, Arjuna in Indonesia (with an "a" ending). Greetings, I visited India two years ago, including the Taj Mahal and the Kashmir mountains. It is definitely a culturally rich country, but it requires hard work to clean up (seriously) the environment. The streets can be chaotic, with motorcycles honking constantly.
That's true indeed! For a population of 1.4 billion, it takes a lot time to improve things - hopefully it gets there soon 😃
I recommend visiting our state Kerala in south. Its like Indonesia with lush greenery, rivers and waterfalls. Less chaotic but more clean. Kerala is the least poverty stricken state in India.
Actually that depends on which part of India. Southern Indian said Arjuna.
Great explanation from you guys, thanks 👌👍
Thank you! 😃
It feels magical that you who are separated by distance and time can explain what is engraved on the temple built by our ancestors thousands of years ago very very smoothly as if you were reading its blueprint. Amazing.

The hindu king who build this temple is Shri Maharaja Rakai pikatan from medang kingdom around (847-855 AD)
And the kings who build another giant temple in Java (borobudur) is shri maharaja samaratungga, and then inaugurated by his daughter Shri kahulunan dyah pramodawardhani
2 years before King samaratungga dead, Pramodawardhani and rakai pikatan are married. This is the first time in Java king and queen has different religion and symbolic of Tolerance or peace

@Shishira & Navneeth, hi there 👋Salam, Namaste from Jakarta, I just found ur vidio, its nice n informatif, Dhanyabad for ur short explained about Sculpture on the wall. Small note, I heard u read Candi with Kandi, actually Candi mean temple, and read kind of Ca in Hindi such as chai, or chaca, or chand .. (So Candi, u can read as Chand-ee..)
Thank you for teaching us Bude (in a way we easily understand) - you're awesome! Terima kasih 🙌🏼
as a history buff myself, I learned from the history books that the reason the mataram dynasty shifting to the Eastern Part of Java (become Medang kingdom) was because of the volcanic eruption of Merapi (which was very frequent and still is). but this information I think needs further clarification because the new location of the kingdom (Medang under the rule of Mpu Sindok) is around present day Kediri which is also around another volcano (Kelud Volcano). anyway, Java itself has alooot of active volcano and most of these kingdoms were around one or two. I am working with an Indian myself and my boss often amused by how common for Indonesian (esp. Javanese) using sanskrit words in the names combined with Arabic names (for example: Waskita Fajar : Waskita is sankrit and Fajar is from Fajr which is arabic for morning/Sunrise)
Hehe wow! That's definitely interesting to see how similar things are even today 🤓 thanks for sharing this!
@@TheBackpacksters indonesia and india share so many things in the past that are still present until today; language, culture and javanese is even using a lunar calendar which is a combination of the Saka (Hindu Calendar) and Hijriah (islamic calendar. And another one; legend has it that Semeru or Mahameru, the tallest volcano in Java was said to be the tip of Himalaya, brought over by God Visnu who carried it on his back as he transformed into turtle. He dropped that tip of Himalaya on the eastern part of Java to 'Nail down' the island and stop it from floating and drifting around on the sea.

Thank you for the explanation!
Thank for watching! Hope you enjoy our other videos too 🤓
@@TheBackpacksters The way you told the legend of Roro Jongrang is very interesting. Actually you have to add... when the villagers set fire on straw and make a noise... the cocks in the villages were confused so they thought it was a down... so the entire cocks in the village sung and that made the the ghosts who helped the man... rand away and left the project unfinished. So the man so furious... and cursed Roro Jongrang into the STONE!
Yeah before islam indonesia is hindu kingdom, but after indonesia become one the center if thw trade where many prople from china, india, and arab come to indonesia, and islam spread by marry and dawah within indonesia culture (wayang) and slowly many native indonesia become muslim, but still keep hindu culture there, so there is menara kudus mosque that has combination hindu, javanese and islamic arsitecture
Oh wow! Thats so interesting to learn - thanks for sharing Ridz! 🤓🤩
Thanks brother n sister
Next to visit BOROBUDUR Budhist Temple Yogyakarta
Terima Kasih Masduki! Would have loved to visit Borobudur but our budget allowed only one 😅
@@TheBackpacksters
Ya sama-sama
Lebih melihat arca , relief dan struktur candi. Bang. Biar orang Indonesia tahu, apa perbedaan Candi Hindu di India dengan di Indonesia
really nice exlpaination. love your vlogs.
Thank you so much 🤓
is it prohibited to go inside the Prambanan temple now? because the last time i visited Prambanan in 2019 i can go inside the temple
Yes.. it's prohibited.. it's only for those who seriously want to pray
Most of moslem in Indonesia are tolerant to other religion. I hope Indian people can kearn from Indonesian about tolerance....
Indians are very united regardless of religion - its best not to believe what news channels push falsely about India. Our muslim friends in India say so themselves 😊
Sntai tipikalnya gk smuanya bgitu, jgn lu pkul rata
Yang benar LEARN bukan KEARN
@Anugerah Suryo kau manusia otak jongkok, jangan percaya media provokasi, jangan percaya pemuka agama yang adu domba. India itu negara toleransi tinggi juga. Satu kelompok yang intoleran tidak mewakili negara secara keseluruhan. Sama seperti Indonesia, ada kelompok intoleran juga tapi tidak mewakili Indonesia yang toleransi. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika akan selalu dijunjung.
You must go to Borobudur Temple, the most incredible Budha's Temple .... ❤️
Would've loved to go but the ticket price wasn't affordable! 😅😅
@@TheBackpacksters i was lucky i had three times there in 2008 it was the ticket very cheap around 2 dollars and higher begin 2013
How to travel
Java island from Jakarta ?? Can you advise ?? What is the cheapest way ?
We used both buses and trains to travel within Java - we booked them online using Redbus and Tiket 😃
Maybe you can go to Lembang Bandung, my city is beautiful.
Adding this to our list when we revisit 🇮🇩🤩
Very Very Nice ..nice to meet you and a part..Welcome to my Country INDONESIA and you can be Enjoy ..Salam...🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 🇮🇩
Terima kasih! 😍🇪🇬
Kunjungi juga candi hindu di dieng...6 jam dari prambanan
Terima kasih, for the suggestion WM! 🤓
Umat Hindu adalah minoritas di Indonesia Dan kami umat Islam Indonesia terbanyak di Indonesia bahkan di dunia sangat menghormati saudara kami umat Hindu di Indonesia
Seharusnya umat hindu di india juga menghormati umat islam di india
Every good citizen regardless of religion is respected in India 🤓
It's like saying Jews should respect Nazis who killed millions of Hindus and still don't condemn it. They like telling us how they killed Hindus and call us kafir(infidels) .
Its easy for you because you didnt had to live like 3rd class citizen in your own country. Still today Hindus don't have same right as muslims. Our temples are locked by government.muslims are free to practice their religion but we aren't
It's sad that you can't get to the inside part of the Candi. There's statues there of each god and wahana for each Candi, but there's some missing like the garuda one iirc, it's sad because garuda is our national symbol 😅.
There's Ramayana theatre plays with the background of this beautiful Candi in the night, I think its every tuesday, thursday, and saturday night? And sometimes they play in Sultan palace ground too in the morning. Maybe you can search it up and see the difference between the balinese and javanese one!
Oh wow! Your comment is so helpful! Thanks for sharing this. It'd have been very interesting to see the insides for sure 😅 and now you've definitely got us curious on the Ramayana performance 🤓
@@TheBackpacksters It's called Sendra Tari Ramayana. Indonesian or Javanese are moslem but they don't leave their tradition, they still keep their tradition, language & script.
Prambanan Temple is located in Yogyakarta, the only Monarchy in Indonesia. Although the majority of Yogyakarta residents are Muslims, we still retain some of the Hindu culture, due to the SabdoPalon Agreement when allowing Islam to enter Java.
The contents of the Sabdopalon Agreement:
1. There should be no imposition of religious dharma or belief.
2. If you want to build a shrine or worship building, make the outer building look Hindu-Javanese style, even though the inner content is Islamic.
3. If an Islamic kingdom is established, the first queen must be a mixed child.
Mixed means, if the father is Hindu then the mother is Muslim. If the father is Muslim, then the mother must be Hindu.
4. Do not turn the Javanese into Arabs or Parsi.
*Jogja is its own province, not part of Central Java.
Wow, did not know this! thanks for teaching us 🤓
Looks your face very happy..full of smile
It's been a truly nice experience in Indonesia 🇮🇩😃
Beautiful temple 🛕
Truly! And its huge! 🤩
We hope that statues throughout European and world museums can return to Prambanan and Borobudur.
Indeed, that would be nice for locals to see their own history and ancestral belongings 🤓
Fantasctic explaination..
Thank you very much ☺️
How about architecture? What are Diferece Temple in india and Indonesia ?
Biggest difference we'd see first is colour - most Indian temples are very colourfully painted (because of the tradition there) 😃
@@TheBackpacksters I suggest you to visit Dieng temples, thera are so many of different architecture ,cause influence of north India,south India and java origin

ada yang bisa jelasin kenapa candi candi bertebaran di jawa tengah sampai ke timur, tapi tidak di jawa barat?
Oh.. curious to know!
Long time ago, Indonesia had Hindu and Buddha kingdoms. There were many Hindu and Buddha people in Indonesia before Islam was introduced by Gujarat and Parsi people. The big temple was built long time ago.
So traders brought with them both goods and religion 🤓
@@TheBackpacksters That's right. The Gujarati and Parsi traders brought not only goods here, but also a new religion. Islam was brought to Indonesia in a peaceful manner and it was well-received by people here. After Islam came here, the Hindu Majapahit Kingdom disappeared. The Buddhist Srivijaya Kingdom diappeared, too. However, for many centuries, Indonesian Islam has had Hindu colour (=traces) in it in everyday's life until the years 2000s. People here still hold the Javanese communal feast of seven days, thirty days and one thousand days after death, for example, which is considered to belong to Hindu culture.
@@TheBackpacksters one of reason why Islam become acceptable in Java and spread everywhere is because there are no caste too
You storytell the legend very well.
Thank you! 🤓🙏🏼
wow Amazing😍
Thank you 😍
Welcome to my city, Yogyakarta from Indonesian students at Gujarat 😊

Selamat datang di Indonesia,
Terima kasih Cerita 😊
It's funny you both said "panoramic" but then the subtitles turns out to be "paranormal". I'd stick to the "panoramic" part since the Prambanan Temple is beautiful. Anyway, good work, overall. I love history. I love churches, mosques, palaces and temples. I find your video insightful. Keep it up!
It was just to pull legs ("paranomic") but the CC generated decided to pull ours 😅 but glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Did you really mean "panoramic"?
The wide angle that capture all in one scene?
Yes 😛 it was just a play on the words 😛
Everyone from cross all over the world can enjoy indonesia.
That's great! 😊
wow 😀you did the homework before the visitation 👍👍
Hehe, took a little bit of time to read it all 😅
