plaosan temple

Plaosan Temple, which is a Buddhist temple, is estimated by experts to have been built during the reign of Rakai Pikatan from the Hindu Mataram Kingdom, namely in the early 9th century AD. One expert who supports this opinion is De Casparis who adheres to the contents of the Cri Kahulunan Inscription & x28;842 M& x29;. The inscription states that Plaosan Lor Temple was built by Ratu Sri Kahulunan, with the support of her husband. According to De Casparis, Sri Kahulunan is the title of Pramodhawardani, the daughter of King Samarattungga from the Syailendra dynasty. The Princess, who embraced Buddhism, married Rakai Pikatan from the Sanjaya dynasty, who embraced Hinduism.
