Borobudur is a Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang, Central Java. The monument consists of six square platforms topped by three circular ones, and is festooned with more than 2000 bas-relief panels and five hundred Buddha statues. Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned after the 14th century because of the decline of Buddhism in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Borobudur has been preserved through several restorations and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world built over 1200 years ago.
