Boro Budor

Boro Budor, the ruin of a Buddhist temple in the residency of Kadu, Java, is situated near the confluence of the Ello and Progo. It is the most splendid monument of Buddhist architecture extant, and is referred by Javanese chroniclers to the 7th century. It is pyramidal in form, the sides at the base measuring over 500 feet each. It is richly ornamented in figures of Buddha, scenes from his life, and representations of battles, processions, chariot races, and other designs.
