Prambanan Temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia. Its exact construction date and the person who ordered it remain uncertain. However, it is widely believed to have been built in the mid-9th century by King Balitung Maha Sambu of the Sanjaya Dynasty. This theory is based on the Syiwagrha Inscription found near the temple, now housed at the National Museum in Jakarta. The inscription, dated 778 Saka (856 AD), was written during Rakai Pikatan's reign. Prambanan's original layout is rectangular, featuring an outer courtyard and three main sections: Jaba (outer court), Tengahan (middle court), and Njeron (inner court). The outer court spans 390 square metres and was once enclosed by a stone wall, now in ruins. The courtyard is currently empty, and it remains unknown if any buildings or decorations existed there.
