Muaro Jambi, Buddhist temple complex in Jambi, Indonesia.
Muaro Jambi is a regency in Jambi Province that consists of eleven administrative districts and many villages spread across Sumatra. Sengeti functions as the administrative center where government services are located.
This territory was once part of the Hindu-Buddhist Melayu Kingdom that ruled from the 4th to 13th century. Ancient temples and waterways remain as evidence of that era's influence on the region.
Various ethnic groups in the regency practice traditions through local crafts, regional cooking, and farming methods handed down over time. These customs shape how communities live and connect with their surroundings.
The regency is well connected by road networks that link markets and communities across the territory. It is helpful to allow extra time for travel between more distant areas.
Three restored ancient temple structures stand in the area: Candi Tinggi, Candi Gumpung, and Candi Kedaton. The last one is striking for being filled with white river stones.
