Things To Know About Muaro Jambi, The Largest Temple In The World Muaro Jambi Temple is a Buddhist temple complex in Jambi, Indonesia. This temple is known as the largest temple in Southeast Asia with an area of 3,981 hectares. There are about 11 temple complexes, dozens of earthen mounds, most likely buried in ancient structures in this place. Historians and archaeologists argue that Muaro Jambi comes around the Sriwijaya Kingdom era. This temple complex was once the center of Buddhist teaching in the world. This statement is further strengthened by a written source from the Tang Dynasty in China which states that a monk named I-Tsing had studied in Sriwijaya's Swarnadwipa (now Sumatra) region. Muaro Jambi Temple also claim to be related with Nalanda, the oldest Mahayana Buddhist education center in the world. There is an inscription in Nalanda which shows the relationship between the Indian Pala King and Balaputradewa from the Syailendra Dynasty. The Beginning of the Muaro Jambi Destruction For about 500 years, the Muaro Jambi area was filled with migrants. Young monks come from all over to study Buddhism. However, this sacred place is suddenly abandoned and forgotten. After hundreds of years, people began to settle on the other side of the Batanghari River.The destruction of Muaro Jambi was accompanied by a declining value in its culture. This is mostly caused by the attack of the Cola Empire from South India into the Malacca Peninsula. King Rajendracola began to attack Malacca Peninsula which was then ruled by Sriwijaya Kingdom and aims to became the trade center in the world at that time. Discovery of Muaro Jambi Temple Muaro Jambi was first discovered during British colonialism in 1824 by a lieutenant named S.C, Crooke who was trying to map out the watersheds for military purposes. In 1975, the Indonesian government began to seriously restore the ancient temple complex which many believe comes from the 7th to 12th centuries AD.The government then discovers some plates inscribed with wajra on several mandala-shaped temples which indicated Mahayana Tantrayana Buddhism is the majority religion. Beads from Persia, China, and India also indicate that this place was once a meeting place for people from various cultures such as traders or students from abroad.The temples in the Muaro Jambi complex are spread from west to east, as far as 7.5 km following the flow of the Batanghari River. This temple is the center of Buddhism, not the center of the kingdom. This can be seen from the fence that borders each temple to distinguish between sacred and profane areas. The existence of a pool as a symbol of holiness is also found in every temple. More about me, please subscribe this channel and our official social media. Hopefully enjoy our channel mega news!
