Based on the inscription Kayumwungan, an Indonesian named reveal that Hudaya Kandahjaya Borobudur is a place of worship is completed on May 26 824, almost one hundred years since the beginning of construction. Borobudur own name, according to some people means a terraced mountain-terrace (budhara), while some others said that Borobudur means monastery, located in the high places.

Borobudur-shaped building punden berundak consists of 10 levels. 42 meters high before the renovated and 34.5 meters because of the level renovated after the bottom used as a backstop. Six levels below the square-shaped and three levels above form a circle and the highest level in the form of a Buddhist stupa to the west. Each level symbolizing the stages of human life. According mahzab Mahayana Buddhism, every person who wants to reach the level of Buddha must through every level of life is.

Some say Borobudur originally stood dikitari swamps and hidden because the eruption of Merapi. Basically, the inscription is Kalkutta titled 'Amawa' means sea of milk.

Done around, YogYES was talking with one of his staff called Haryono. He tells how difficult it is re-building that has been the collapse. There are hundreds of stones that must be matched so that the temple can stand again, but for disamakankan no instructions at all. Saking difficulty, sometimes only a worker is able to match the stone with a stone in a span of a week. Yes, like composing a giant puzzle.

Some archeologists suspect that is related to the inscription of the temple Kedulan. The building is a holy temple Tiwaharyyan suspected Kedulan itself. Village Pananggaran told that the inscription is suspected in the region around the temple, so also is the dam. But until now have not found trace the ancient dam. Perhaps the dam was built in the River Opak a distance of ± 4 km from the temple site, or perhaps also in the river that is now no longer exists as a closed lava eruption of Mount Merapi, a thousand years ago.

The many puzzles waiting to be solved and its charm component of the temple to temple tour Kedulan interesting to do. The condition of temples that are still in the reconstruction phase would add fun when walking to get there.

Quite rare temple that has such relief, at least, only Prambanan Mendut known and has a similar relief.
