   Summary Author:  Sheyenne ScrivenJin;  Cadan Cummings

   The photo above shows a sunrise over the  Borobudur Temple located
   in  Kedu Valley on the island of  Java, Indonesia. Built over one
   thousand years ago during the  Shailendra dynasty, the historic site
   is the largest  Buddhist temples in the world measuring 113 ft (34
   m) tall and 400 ft (123 m wide). The Borobudur Temple was used between
   approximately the years 900 to 1400 before being deserted for
   approximately four hundred years. In the early 1800’s, the site was
   rediscovered although needed considerable restoration work to return
   the site to its original greatness. With assistance from the  United
   Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the
   site was restored between 1975 and 1982 and is now a  World Heritage
   Site. Currently, the site attracts the most visitors of any spot in
   Indonesia as it is popular for tourism and Buddhist ceremonies during
   the  Vesak holiday. Photo taken February 27, 2020.
