Prambanan is a 9th century Hindu temple compound dedicated to the Trimurti, the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The temple compound is the largest Hindu temple site in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu architecture, and by the towering 47 m high central building.
Ratu Boko is an archaeological site known as Queen Boko’s Palace. The original name of this site is still unclear, probably the site was a palace complex which belonged to the kings of Sailendra or Mataram Kingdom that also built temples scattered across the Prambanan Plain. The oldest ruins were identified as a buddhist temple, and then converted in to hindu temple, and later as a castle. Despite the large quantity and variety of remains found there, an old javanese inscription refers to the constructions of a Buddhist monastery modelled after Abhayagiri Vihara Complex (means a monastery on a peaceful hill) in Sri Lanka, where a group of ascetic forest dwelling monks resided.
