	Indonesian Architecture: Prambanan (Loro Jonggrang) Temple, near Yogyakarta
		The temple was constructed in the early ninth century by the Sanjaya dynasty, a flourishing Hindu kingdom that shared the island with the Buddhist Saliendra dynasty that built Borobudur.
		The relationship between the two dynasties is not clear, but one theory maintains that the Sanjayas constructed Candi Prambanan as a symbol of dynastic power in response to the construction of Borobudur.
		Candi Prambanan is often called Loro Jonggrang temple after the local name of the Durga statue enshrined in one side of the Shiva temple (Loro Jonggrang means "Slender Virgin").

		Prambanan can also be combined with your departure day as we did i.e.
		Prambanan is on the road to the Yogya airport.
		The one's at Prambanan are a bit touristy (as opposed to "real" Javanese dance which is refined to the point of introversion), but you can't beat the location for atmosphere.

		Prambanan consists of three major sanctuaries, one for each member of the Hindu trinity: Candi Brahma, Candi Visnu and Candi Siwa.
		The triple towers which were erected 11 centuries ago, remain weirdly futuristic, providing a stunning backdrop for the Loro Jonggrang Theater, an open-air stage where the famous Ramayana dance performances are held on four consecutive moonlit nights each month during the dry season.
		The Prambanan group is also comprised of several other less important Hindu temples, including the recently excavated Candi Sambisari, which is small, was but perfectly preserved by volcanic ash.

		In view of the forthcoming publication of a new book about Candi Prambanan or Candi Loro Jonggrang, Roy Jordaan recently made a brief visit to Central Java, with the support of an IIAS travel grant, in order to ascertain the present state of the reconstruction of the Hindu-Javanese temple complex.
		From conversations with the official directly involved, and from the unpublished report Laporan pembenahan halaman pusat Candi Prambanan [Report on the improvement of the central courtyard of Candi Prambanan] (1993), it appeared that the drainage pits were connected to each other with an underground system of pvc drainage pipes.
		The culvert, in any case, was large enough for an adult man to stand up to waist-height in, which implies that it must have been fairly easy to raise the water from the river at these points, and transport it to the terrace.

		Not only was it a reminder to the Saliendras that the Hindus were now in charge but, by leaving Sewu unharmed, it also gave a clear message to the Buddhists that the Sanjayas intended to be tolerant of their faith.

		The bas-reliefs pertaining to the Hindu deity Vishnu's incarnation as Lord Krishna appear on the interior-facing walls of the balustrade that surrounds the Vishnu shrine, while episodes from Vishnu's incaration as Rama encircle the main shrines at Prambanan that are dedicated to Shiva and Brahma.
		One puzzling aspect of Prambanan's architectural design is the inescapable fact that the temple's three main shrines present narrative reliefs pertaining to Lord Vishnu's human incarnations as Lord Rama and Krishna.
		Like Prambanan's instription of consecration, the Ramayana Kakawin describes a temple consequence that is similar in many respects to the one at Prambanan.
