It has eight shrines, of which the three main ones are dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. After lunch in a local restaurant, transfer to Borobudur Temple. The massive stone stupa of Borobudur is one the greatest of all ancient architectural monuments. Built with forced labour from the surrounding countryside between about AD 750 and 850, Borobudur predates Angkor Wat in Cambodia by three centuries. Its ensembles of stone relief panels are the virtual history of Mahayana Budhist doctrine, as well as providing scholars with detailed information about life in 8th and 9th century Java.Buried under volcanic ash and tropical growth, it was only rediscovered in 1815.  It has recently been fully restored by an international effort under the aegis of UNESCO.
