Borobudur (The largest buddhist temple in the world)


The world's largest monument, the Borobudur temple is a complex and stunningly beautiful work of architecture built in the shape of a three-dimensional mandala(a Buddhist symbol representing the cosmos).
 Located on the Indonesian island of java about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the city of Yogyakarta. Now a world Heritage Site, was constructed in the 8th century. Originally 504 statues of Buddha and now 300 are damaged and 43 are missing, really feel sorry to heard that and I wish I could go there in someday.
