The Prambanan temple is built in the same period as the Borobudur (around the year 850) but is a Hindu temple complex.
You will find three main temples. Each of them is built for a Hindu god: Brahma (creator), Shiva (transformer) and Vishnu (preserver) and three smaller temples for the animal they travel on (a goose, a bull and an eagle)
Around the six main temples, there are 224 little (still ruined) temples.
