Rainy..BOROBUDUR Temple
Location : Magelang, 40 kilometres northwest of Yogyakarta.
The Borobodur Temple complex is one of the greatest monuments in the world. It is of uncertain age, but thought to have been built between the end of the seventh and beginning of the eighth century A.D.
For about a century and a half it was the spiritual centre of Buddhism in Java, then it was lost until its rediscovery in the eighteenth century.

The structure, composed of 55,000 square meters of lava-rock is erected on a hill in the form of a stepped-pyramid of six rectangular storeys, three circular terraces and a central stupa forming the summit.
The whole structure is in the form of a lotus, the sacred flower of Buddha.

A marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on the Dieng active volcano complex near Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia.
Referred to as "Dieng" by Indonesians, it sits at 2,000m above sea level far from major population centres.
ARJUNA TEMPLE
These attractive small temples are the earliest known in central Java. They date to at least the early 8th century AD, if not older; not all were built at the same time.
Stylistically, they resemble some early Pallava temples in Mamallapuram (Shore Temple and Pancha Rathas) and Kanchipuram (Kailasanatha Temple), India, near present-day Madras. ( sources from art and archeology.com )
