Joglo House, Unique House of Yogyakarta

14.29 | Label:

 
Indian civilization had a profound impact on Indonesia, especially in Java and Sumatra. During this period the Mataram kingdom left an imprint on architecture in Java. For a millenium, Javanese aristocrats, courtiers, literati, and men of religion had been studying and adapting the ways of Indian civilization.

Buddhism and Hinduism eventually blended with the native Javanese animism to form unique combinations of structures and carvings with significant meanings. Temple architecture in Central Java, like the Dieng Plateau, Borobudur, and Prambanan, is testimony to the great civilization that flourished as a result of Indian influence. In the monumental architecture of the Hindu-Javanese society is a conception that the terrestrial order mirrors and embodies the celestial. The king is the sacred embodiment of the totality of the state, just as the king’s palace is a microcosmic copy of the microcosm.
