Sojiwan

Sojiwan (Javanese orthography: Såjiwan, or sometimes spelled Sajiwan) is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple located in Kebon Dalem Kidul village, Prambanan, Klaten Regency, Central Java.

In return, the inhabitant of Rukam village was obliged to take care of a sacred building located in Limwung.

Sojiwan temple was rediscovered in 1813 by Colonel Colin Mackenzie, a subordinate of Sir Stamford Raffles.

He examined the archaeological remains around the Prambanan plain and rediscovered the ruins of the wall surrounding the temple.

The reconstruction project was completed in December 2011, and inaugurated by Mari Pangestu, Indonesian Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy.
