The Buddhist universe manifests itself in the central temple of Mahadeva at Sewu Temple. Emanating out of the central temple are four rings containing 250 smaller temples dedicated to different Gods. Situated just about a mile from the Hindu Prambanan Temple, Sewu Temple is the second largest Buddhist temple on Java. The close proximity suggests that ancient Hindus and Buddhists lived in peace. The grand entrance to the main temple faces east and contains an inscription dating the building back to 792 AD. Sewu Temple was one of Java’s major religiously active temples starting back in the 8th Century.
