via Antara, 11 February 2022: Borobudur, Prambanan and two other temples are marketed as global worship sites for Hindus and Buddhists.
The Indonesian government has officially launched Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta and Borobudur Temple, Pawon Temple, and Mendut Temple in Central Java as global worship sites for Hindus and Buddhists.
“We hope these temples can be places of worship for Hindus and Buddhists in Indonesia and all over the world,” Religious Affairs Ministry special staff coordinator Adung Abdul Rochman said during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Yogyakarta on Friday.
The four temples have been mostly used for research, culture, and tourism, he noted. However, with the signing of the MoU, their functions would cover religious rituals, based on the main reason for their construction, he explained.
