Ratu Boko Temple

thanks for reading indonesianthology,

Ratu Boko Temple is a blend of Buddhist and Hindus architectural. At this period both religion are the biggest believe system in Indonesia. This shrine is built around 8th century by King Rakai Panangkaran (descendant of Syailendra dynasty) .  Its former name is Abhayagiri Vihara mean a peace shrine on a hill. Located on a 196 meters above sea level plateau, south east of Prambanan Temple Complex. Maybe the most architectural attractive palace at its period. 
According to its name, you will feel a peace when you come to its stairs specially when sunset.
