The authority has decided to build a park around the temple as a continuation of the renovation work done to the temple. It works as a silencer and as a rendezvous point for the ever increasing visitors before they continue their tour of the temple.
The name of the temple originated from the word "Boro" and "Budur". "Boro" means temple or shrine in Sanskrit while "Budur" means above the hill from the word "Beduhur" in Balinese.
There are 504 Buddha statues, in the temple. Besides that, there are also 1,460 craved reliefs illustrating scenes and 1,212 decorative reliefs in the temple(not that I went to count each and everyone of them - just some random facts from the official temple brochure). Most of the craved reliefs well preserved, except for some missing head or figurine.
Technical Data (from official park brochure):
1. Temple height (from ground to the top) = 35.29m
2. Side length = 119m
3. Temple area = 14.161m square
4. Number of Keben Stupa (I have not figure out what "Keben" means yet!) = 1,464
5. Weight of the temple building (I think this is the estimation) = +/_ 3,5000,000 tonne
