Borobudur is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple located in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. It is the largest Buddhist temple in the world and one of the greatest works of Indonesian architecture. The temple is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Indonesia.

Borobudur was built during the Sailendra dynasty and is thought to have been completed around the year 800 AD. The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, each with its own series of bas-reliefs and bell-shaped stupas. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, and the entire temple is decorated with over 2,600 relief panels depicting scenes from Buddhist teachings, daily life, and legends.

Borobudur was abandoned for centuries and covered in volcanic ash, until its rediscovery in the 19th century by the British. In the early 20th century, it was restored by the Indonesian government, and in the 1970s, further restoration work was carried out with the assistance of UNESCO. Today, Borobudur is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world.
