History of Prambanan

Prambanan Temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia. Until now it is not certain when this temple was built and on whose orders, but it is strongly suspected that Prambanan Temple was built around the middle of the 9th century by a king from the Sanjaya Dynasty, namely King Balitung Maha Sambu. This assumption is based on the contents of the Syiwagrha Inscription found around Prambanan and is currently stored in the National Museum in Jakarta. The inscription dated 778 Saka (856 AD) was written during the reign of Rakai Pikatan.

The original layout of Prambanan Temple was rectangular, consisting of an outer courtyard and three courtyards, namely Jaba (outer courtyard), Tengahan (middle courtyard) and Njeron (inner courtyard). The outer courtyard is an open area that surrounds the outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is rectangular in shape with an area of 390 m2. This courtyard was once surrounded by a stone fence that is now in ruins.
