Banyunibo is a 9th-century
Buddhist temple located in
Sleman Regency, Indonesia. The temple, dating from the era of
Medang Kingdom, sits in a narrow valley surrounded by
paddy fields about two kilometers southeast of the
Ratu Boko archaeological park. Its curved rooftop design, crowned with a solitary
stupa, is unique among the surviving Buddhist temples of Central Java.Photograph:
