Prambanan Temple or Roro Jonggrang Temple is the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia which was built in the 9th century AD. This temple is dedicated to Trimurti, the three main Hindu deities namely Brahma as the creator god, Vishnu as the guardian deity, and Shiva as the destruction god. Based on the Siwagrha inscription the original name of this temple complex is Siwagrha (Sanskrit meaning 'House of Shiva'), and indeed in the Garbagriha (main room), this temple sits on a three meter high Shiva Mahadewa statue which shows that in this temple Lord Shiva is preferred.
The name Prambanan, derived from the name of the village where the temple was founded, is thought to be a name change from the Javanese dialect of the term Hindu theology Brahman meaning "Great Brahman" which is Brahman or the highest and greatest eternal reality that cannot be described, which is often equated with the concept of God in Hinduism. Another opinion considers the Brahman may refer to the heyday of this temple which was once filled with brahmins.
This temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, as well as one of the most beautiful temples in Southeast Asia. According to the Siwagrha inscription, this temple began to be built around 850 AD by Rakai Pikatan and continues to be developed and expanded by the Maha Sambu Belitung, during the Medang Mataram kingdom.
