Borobudur is the site of an enormous Stupa in Java built in the 8th Century AD for the devotees of Mahayana Buddhism during the reign of the Shailendra dynasty. The temple’s design in Gupta architecture reflects India's influence on the region. UNESCO designated Borobudur a World Heritage site in 1991 as ‘Borobudur Temple Compounds’ in recognition of its unique and magnificent craftsmanship. UNESCO included Mendut Temple and Pawon Temple in the designation.
