Candi Plaosan is a striking twin-temple complex combining Buddhist and Hindu architectural elements, reflecting the religious harmony between the Sailendra and Sanjaya dynasties. The two main temples — Plaosan Lor (north) and Plaosan Kidul (south) — sit amid rice fields east of Prambanan.
Built around 850 CE, Plaosan is believed to have been commissioned by Hindu king Rakai Pikatan and his Buddhist queen Pramodawardhani, explaining its unique dual-religion character. The complex originally included 174 smaller perwara temples, many now reduced to foundations.
