Prambanan Hindu Temple
Friday, June 2nd, 2006 by ablteamOne of Indonesia’s most famous tourist attractions, the Prambanan Hindu temple complex, is likely to be closed for months after being badly damaged in the earthquake, a conservation expert predicted.
It is unclear what impact the earthquake will have on the tourism industry in a region that was considered to be Indonesia’s second most popular destination after Bali.
Prambanan, which was built between the eighth and 10th centuries and is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, lies 16km east of Yogyakarta.
