Jogjakarta Visit: Photo series 2....

Photo of local silver handicraft not far away from Candi Borobudur....

Candi Mendut.. located not far from the famous Candi Borobudur.... it's older than the Borobudur... During festivities, local Hindu still conduct ritual from this Candi to Borobudur...
Restoration work ongoing at Candi Borobudur... one of UNESCO world heritage....
One of the view inside one of the Borobudur levels...  if you noticed, the stone blocks were placed interlocked each other... there's no cement or concrete used. That's why the restoration work is a tedious work... the stone need to be  sculpted into a interlocking block shape...manually
Buddha idol inside the stupa.
View from one the 4 steps to climb the Borobudur.... the weather was not so good that day.. if not, we can see Mount Kidul not far away... mystical mountain in Javanesse tradition...
Buddha statue inside the stupa.....
The stupa that contain and protect the statues.........
