EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Prambanan Hindu temple compound in Java, Indonesia. Built during the 9th century, Prambanan stands as a remarkable testament to ancient architecture and religious devotion. The temple complex is dedicated to the Trimurti, representing Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva - the three divine forces of creation, preservation, and destruction. Once serving as the royal temple for Medang kings of Mataram, Prambanan holds immense historical significance. Over time, it fell into ruin but was fortunately restored from 1918 onwards. Even today, restoration efforts continue to preserve its grandeur. The vibrant colors captured in this image emphasize both the beauty and cultural richness of this sacred site. Against a backdrop of lush greenery typical of Java's landscape lies an exterior that exudes sharpness and precision in its design. As one gazes upon this photograph by Vivienne Sharp (not associated with any company), they are transported to a place where religion meets artistry amidst nature's splendor. It serves as a reminder of Indonesia's deep-rooted Hindu heritage and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the architectural marvels left behind by our ancestors.
