Mendut Temple, Magelang, Indonesia

Approx.3 KM east of Borobudur, there is another 9th century Buddhist temple called Mendut. The temple was abandoned and forgotten till 1836 when it came to light again. Though this is a much smaller temple, in comparison to Borobudur, Mendut Temple is the oldest of the \"Three Buddhist Temple\" in Indonesia. Together with the other two temples, Borobudur and Pawon, the \"Three Temples\" form a straight line.

If you are visiting Borobudur or Yogyakarta, you should stop by Mendut to check on this temple.
