One of the most popular artifacts in Indonesia is the Prambanan, a complex of temples which was built in 825 A.D. The central part of the Prambanan complex consists of three main shriens dedicated to the gods ofTrimurti.
The temple of Siva stands in the center, that of Vishnu on the north, and that of Brahma on the south. In front of each of these main temples stand another smaller temple, constructed to contain a statue of the mouth of each god. This ensemble is completed by two annexes, the “Candi Apit” or ‘flanking temples’, and nine small shrines to shelter the stones demarcating the compound within which the temple complex stands.
