Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Largest Buddhist temple in the world is located at Borobodur on the Indonesian island of Java. It contains more than 500 small shrines and is richly decorated in statuary and bell-like stupas (above). These ruins have become a Southwest Asia mecca since constant strife put the famous Angkor Wat in Cambodia off the tourist trail.
