Pawon Temple, Yogyakarta International Destination

Pawon Temple that the International destination is a very unique tour. Pawon located 1.5 km to the west of Mendut and eastward from Borobudur Temple, also a Buddhist temple. When studied in detail in relief, it is the beginning of the relief of Borobudur temple. Yogyakarta is one of Indonesia Java International Destiantion.

Many people think Pawon is a tomb, but after investigation proved to be a place to store weapons named King Indera Vajranala. This temple is made of volcanic stone. Judging from the art building is a combination of building art of ancient Javanese Hindu and Indian. Pawon located right on the line joining the axis of Borobudur and Mendut.

The possibility of this temple was built to Kubera. This temple is above the terrace and stairs rather wide. All parts are decorated with effigies (dagoba) and the outer walls with symbolic images.
