Hinduism in Indonesia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hinduism did replace Buddhism as the predominant cultural force on Java and Sumatra between the ninth and fourteenth centuries. This is evident from the numerous Hindu temples and monuments found on both islands, such as the Borobudur and Prambanan temples. The assertion that Hinduism ultimately survived only on the island of Sumatra is incorrect, as Hinduism is still practiced in Indonesia today, albeit by a minority of the population. The claim that Hinduism did not result in the building of any significant temples or shrines is also false.
