Prambanan area, Central Java · -7.7403°, 110.5044°
A Buddhist compound of the mid-ninth century, dated by inscriptions to between 825 and 850 and attributed to Sri Kahulunnan, or Pramodhawardhani, daughter of Samaratungga of the Sailendra line. It comprises 174 structures, 116 stupas and 58 shrines, in two groups, Plaosan Lor to the north and Plaosan Kidul to the south, originally a single complex now divided by a road. The 2006 Java earthquake caused damage, and the excavations that followed recovered significant finds.
