🇮🇩 First Stop in Indonesia – Yogyakarta

Nestled in the heart of Central Java, Yogyakarta stands out as the city with the highest happiness index in Indonesia. While many visitors are drawn to the famous Borobudur, there’s another gem that often gets overlooked: Prambanan.

Prambanan, also known as Candi Prambanan, is an awe-inspiring complex of Hindu temples built during the Mataram Kingdom in the 9th century. The site features three concentric courtyards, each more captivating than the last.

At the center of the complex, you’ll find the three main shrines, collectively known as Trisakti, dedicated to the principal deities of Hinduism: Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. Just in front of these majestic structures, you’ll see three smaller Wahana temples, honoring the divine mounts of the gods—Nandi the bull for Shiva, Garuda the eagle for Vishnu, and Angsa the swan for Brahma.
