Sewu Temple or Manjusrighra is a Buddhist temple built in the 8th century just eight hundred meters to the north of Prambanan Temple. Sewu Temple is the second largest Buddhist temple complex after Borobudur Temple in Central Java. Sewu temple is older than Borobudur and Prambanan Temple. Although the original has 249 temples, by the local community this temple is called "Sewu" which means one thousand in Javanese. This naming is based on the legend of Loro Jonggrang.
