To better understand Indonesia's present, it is important to know about the past. Both Buddhism and Hinduism have played large roles in the history of the country, with kingdoms that dominated Java and beyond. The GCP Indonesia group will be visiting remnants of those ancient kingdoms. Below please find more information on the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan.
