PRAMBANAM - SIVA TEMPLE

Introduction

The maritime-activities of our ancient Indian rulers ventured far beyond the great oceans and established permanent settlements in Indonesia and Malaya Archipelago for the benefit of both Indians and aliens. Though they rose and declined according to their destinies on the main land and abroad too, the cultural links they forged with the natives remained longer. And some of the relics speak volumes of our adorable traditions that took roots in the foreign soil during their heyday. Even today, there are many temples standing testimony to the glory of Hindu religion, adored and upheld by the people there. Indians who settled down there built many places of worship to suit their creed and cult. Undergoing renovations from time to time, some of them are emitting spiritual fragrance to a commendable degree as in the mainland.
