Yogyakarta tour EP4 Candi Prambanan & Ramayana Ballet
I had a chance to visit the Prambanan temple during my stay in Yogyakarta. I purposely choose to visit at very early morning to avoid the high temperatures during the daytime.
As the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, Prambanan temple is listed in world Heritage. I’m very impressed by the spectacular Prambanan temple, it looks very similar like the Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Although the Prambanan temple been through several earthquake in the history, but it is still truly lives up to its reputation as a shining gem of Indonesian cultural heritage.
At night, I watched the Ramayana Ballet show at the Prambanan theatre. About the Epic Ramayana, I’ve been watched before in a different version with Balinese dance. This part of story is about Prince Rama, with the help from monkey god Hanuman to rescues his abducted wife, Princess Sita. It was a wonderful show.
