Borobudur is a Buddhist shrine in Central Java and one of the tourist attractions of Central Java. Located near Mount Merapi, the most active volcano in Indonesia, Borobudur was built in the period 750 - 850. Borobudur is built as a large stupa. The base of this stupa is 123 by 123 meters. The stupa has nine floors; the bottom six are square, the top three round. The floors represent the Buddhist cosmos. On the upper floors are 72 small stupas, built around one large central stupa. The large stupa symbolizes Nirvana. From bottom to top, the small stupas represent the path a Buddhist must take to eventually be included in Nirvana.
