Maha Vihara Mojopahit
It was a visit to a couple of temples and traces of the Majapahit Kingdom at Trowulan, Mojokerto, East Java, a few weeks back that brought me as well to Maha Vihara Mojopahit (Grand Vihara Majapahit), a Buddhist monastery and temple, located somewhere at the Trowulan area. Thanks to the driver of a rented car who advised me to make a stop at the shrine. The Vihara was built by Bante Viriyanadi Mahathera in 1989 on an area of 20,000 m2 with the unique Javanese Joglo architecture.
The Javanese Joglo architecture design shown at the above picture is at the main building of the shrine.

Inside the main building there are three altars, each to serve the believers of Hinayana, Mahayana and Tantrayana sects. The middle part, shown above, is the statue of Buddha Sakyamuni.
