2 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedExplore the Trimurti temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma and Listen to the explanation from your guide about the history of the Prambanan temple. Some historians that adhere to dual dynasty theory suggest that the construction of Prambanan probably was meant as the Hindu Sanjaya dynasty's answer to the Buddhist Sailendra dynasty's Borobudur and Sewu temples nearby, and was meant to mark the return of the Hindu Sanjaya dynasty to power in Central Java after almost a century of Buddhist Sailendra dynasty domination. Nevertheless, the construction of this massive Hindu temple did signify a shift of the Mataram court's patronage, from Mahayana Buddhism to Shaivite Hinduism.
