Prambanan is the largest Hindu architecture in Indonesia, built about 1200 years ago. Before the Islamization of Indonesia in the 15th century, the overall influence of Hinduism was the most profound. The relics of Borobudur, Prambanan, etc., all inherit the cultural influence of the Indian Chola Dynasty. However, after the Islamization of Indonesia, most Hindu believers moved to Bali, so now only Bali in Indonesia still believes in Hinduism. Prambanan consists of 8 main temples and more than 250 isolated secondary temples. The three main temples (Trisakti) respectively worship the three main gods of Hinduism: Shiva (the god of destruction), Vishnu (the god of order), and Brahma (the god of creation). Hinduism is a polytheistic religion that advocates animism, but almost all other gods are incarnations of these three main gods. More than 250 independent temples (Pewara) of different sizes are built around the temple. People think that Pewara symbolizes the king's subjects. Pewara is arranged in four circles, the innermost circle is only allowed for Brahmins to enter, and the other three circles are used by Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras respectively. It is worth mentioning that the caste system is inherited to Bali, it is not distinguished between surnames, but follows local traditions, and there is no prohibition of contact and intermarriage between different castes. In Nepal, which also believes in Hinduism, everyone calls themselves Brahmins, so naturally there is no caste hierarchy. Indonesia
