SOAL UJIAN SEMESTER KELAS XII

Borobudur Is a Hindhu-Buddhist temple bulit in the 9th century


under the Syailendra dynasty of Java. It is located near Magelang, on
the island of Java, Indonesia.
Abandoned in the 11th century and partially excavated by
archaeologists in the early 20th century, Borobudur temple is well-
known all over the worid.
Influenced by the Gupta architecture of India, the temple is
constructed on a hill of 46 m (150 ft) high and consists of eight-step like
stone terraces, one on top of the other.
The first five terraces are sguare and surrounded by walls adorned
with Buddhist sculpture in bas-relief: the upper three are circular, each
with a circle of bell-shaped stupas (Buddhist shrines).
The entire edifice is crowned by a large stupa at the center of the
top circle. The way to the summit extends through some 4.8 km of
passages and stairways.
The design of Borobudur, a temple-mountain, symbolizing the
structure of the universe, is similar to the temples built at Angkor,
Cambodia.
The Borobudur Temple, rededicated as an Indonesian national
monument in 1983, is a valuable treasure for Indonesian people.
