Borobudur

A definite must see on the island of Java, located about 42km from Yogyakarta is the Borobudur, a UNESCO world heritage site with the world's largest Buddhist monument. Borobudur, a name deriving from an expression meaning 'Mountain of accumulation of merits of the ten states of Bodhisattva' is commonly thought of as a Buddhist structure, yet its initial construction was planned and executed by Hindu builders sometime around 775AD.
