The temple is dedicated to Trimurti, the three main Hindu gods are Brahma the creator, Vishnu the maintainer, and Shiva the god of destruction.

&lt;br /&gt;
The temples located at village of Prambanan, Java, about 20 kilometers east of Yogyakarta, 40 kilometers west of Surakarta and 120 kilometers south of Semarang, just on the border between the provinces of Central Java and Yogyakarta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As one of the grandest temples in Southeast Asia, Prambanan temple is the main attraction of tourists from around the world&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The entrance to the building complex is located at the four corners of the wind direction, but the building is facing to the east, the main entrance of the temple is the east gate. Prambanan temple complex consists of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 Trimurti Temples: Shiva temple, Vishnu temple, and Brahma temple&lt;br /&gt;
3 Wahana Temples: Nandi temple, Garuda temple, and Geese temple&lt;br /&gt;
2 Apit Tempels: located between rows of Trimurti temples and temples rides in the north and south&lt;br /&gt;
4 Kelir Temples: located at the 4 corners of the wind just inside the entrance to the inner courtyard&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; or the core zone&lt;br /&gt;
4 Patok Temples: located at the 4 corners or pages in the core zone&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Originally there were 240 big and small temples in Prambanan temple complex. But now only 18 temples; ie 8 main temples and eight small temples in the core zone and 2 ancillary temples. Many ancillary temples are not restored, of 224 ancillary temples only 2 that have been restored, which left only a pile of stones scattered about.

&lt;br /&gt;
Such as Borobudur, Prambanan temple also has a level zones, ranging from the less holy to the most holy zone. Despite the different names, each of these Hindu concept bears some resemblance to the Buddhist concept of essentially the same.&lt;br /&gt;

And now it turns into black, green and brown. Some circles suspect discoloration of water in the lake caused by Kelimutu volcanic activity, refracting the sunlight, the water microbiota, the occurrence of dissolved chemical substances, as well as due to the reflection color of the walls and bottom of the lake.&amp;nbsp;Locals believe that the color change indicates the natural phenomena that will occur as the volcano erupted, the landslides and other natural disasters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Indonesia is an international tourist destination that offers many tourist attractions. All the islands in Indonesia have a lot of exotic places to invite tourists to come.&amp;nbsp;The responsibility of maintenance, development and promotion is not just given to the&amp;nbsp;Tourism&amp;nbsp;Department of Indonesia, but all elements of society should participate in it. Programs that refer to this has been implemented.&amp;nbsp;One is an annual program known as VISIT INDONESIA YEAR. Each year the&amp;nbsp;Tourism&amp;nbsp;Department of &amp;nbsp;Indonesia using a different theme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Though many places &amp;nbsp;perhaps more nice and charming to be promoted.&amp;nbsp;Indeed, participation of all parties engaged in tourism should support each other to optimize the promotion of Indonesia tourism. Promotion to the global media can be used as one means of proper promotion. Although the budget for promotion is not easy but if we see the development of tourism in Indonesia, especially to introduce places that so far only targeted the domestic tourists, it would be better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

With all the limitations, I want to optimize this blog as one of Indonesia tourism promotion media. All criticism and your suggestions will be very useful for me to develop this blog.&amp;nbsp;For those of you who want to share stories about your experiences when traveling to Indonesia or you want to contribute by writing travel articles about Indonesia, you can fill out the form provided.
