Prambanan Temple (Javanese: ꦕꦟ꧀ꦝꦶ​ꦥꦿꦩ꧀ꦧꦤꦤ꧀, translit. Caṇḍi Prambanan) is the largest Hindu temple building in Indonesia which was built in the 9th century AD. This temple, which is also known as Rara Jonggrang, is dedicated to Trimurti, the three main Hindu gods, namely Brahma as the creator god, Vishnu as the preserver god, and Shiva as the destroyer god. Based on the Siwagrha inscription, the original name of this temple complex is Siwagrha (Sanskrit which means 'House of Shiva'), and indeed in the garbagriha (main room) of this temple there is a three meter high statue of Shiva Mahadewa, because the Syaiwa sect prioritizes the worship of the god Shiva in this temple. .

The Prambanan temple complex as a whole is located in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, but the administrative gate is located in Central Java. This is what makes Prambanan Temple located in 2 places, namely in Bokoharjo Village, Prambanan, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region,[1][2] and in Tlogo, Prambanan, Klaten Regency, Central Java, or approximately 17 kilometers northeast of Yogya City, 50 kilometers southwest of Surakarta City and 120 kilometers south of Semarang City, right on the border between the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java.[3]

This temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, as well as one of the most beautiful temples in Southeast Asia. The architecture of this building is tall and slender in accordance with Hindu architecture in general with the Shiva temple as the main temple having a height of up to 47 meters standing in the middle of a complex of smaller temples.[4] As one of the grandest temples in Southeast Asia, Prambanan temple attracts tourists from all over the world.[5]

According to the Siwagrha inscription, this temple began to be built around 850 AD by Rakai Pikatan, and continued to be developed and expanded by Balitung Maha Sambu, during the Medang Mataram Kingdom.
