This relief lies on the lowest walls and depicts the dream that Buddha's mother had when Buddha was conceived. She dreamt that a white elephant carrying a white lotus entered her womb. The upper panel (as with most of the thousands of panels covering Borobudur) depicts the gods watching buddha enter the world, while the lower panel depicts the world itself.

Bombed stupahs

Bombed stupahs, originally uploaded by killermonkeys.

Via Flickr:
Some cruel soul decided that it would be appropriate to protest the government of Suharto by blowing up some stupahs in Borobudur. While sad, it shows the real frustration that Indonesians had with Suharto. The first stupah was one of several bombed and subsequently repaired.
