Barong Temple, Hindu temple near Prambanan, Indonesia

The temple structure spans three ascending terraces connected by staircases, featuring stone masonry work and detailed architectural elements across multiple levels.

Built during the 9th century Sailendra dynasty, this religious complex demonstrates the architectural evolution from pre-Hindu megalithic structures to classical Indonesian temple design.

The temple received its name from the carved kala head decorations on its niches, which display similarities to the mythological Barong figure.

Located 800 meters from Ratu Boko compound, the temple remains open daily from 8 AM to 6 PM with an entrance fee of 10,000 IDR.

The temple departs from typical Central Javanese architecture by incorporating stepped terraces, known as punden berundak, reflecting pre-Hindu construction methods.
