Borobudur Temple was founded by Wangsa Syailendra named Prabu Samaratungga in the 9th century and originated from the Mataram Kingdom of Medang Kamulan. The architect was named Gunadharma and Kumaragosa. The construction of the largest Buddhist temple in the world was continued by Princess Samaratungga named Sri Kahulunan Dyah Pramodawardhani.
Borobudur whose real name is Bhumi Shambara Budhara is in the form of punden berundak, with levels including: Karmawibangga, Kamadatu, Rupadatu, Arupadatu and Bodisatwa.
