Prambanan Temple
One of the most popular artifacts, in Indonesia is Prambanan; a complex of temples which was built in 825 A.D. The central part of Prambanan complex consist of three main shrines dedicated to the gods of the Trimurti.
The Temple of Siva stands in the center, that of Vishnu on the north, and that of Brahma on the south. in front of each of these main temples stands another smaller temple, contructed to contain a statue of the mouth of each god. this ensemble is completed by two annexes, the 'candi Apit' or ' flanking temples', andnine small shrines to shelter the stones demarcating the compound with in which the temple complex stands.
The central shrine rests on a projection from the base if siva temple. this results in the complex's layout to be asymmetrical. this central shrine is set against the south side of the east staircase leading to the main sanctuary of siva temple.
The main terrace of Prambanan is sorrounded by four concentric squares of chapels on the lower.
