10 APRIL
2014 :
Candi Budha (Kalasan) Tertua Di Yogyakarta.
Candi
Kalasan terletak di Desa Kalasan, Kabupaten Sleman, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta,
Pulau Jawa, Indonesia. Nama Lain dari Candi Kalasan adalah Candi Kalibening
merupakan candi berkategori candi Buddha,
Candi Kalasan mempunyai 52 stupa yang terletak di sisi jalan
raya antara Yogyakarta dan Solo yang terletak sekitar 2 km dari candi
Prambanan.
Pada
awalnya hanya Candi Kalasan yang ditemukan di daerah ini, namun setelah
teliti lebih dalam lagi, ditemukan lebih banyak lagi bangunan pendukung yang
terdapat di sekitar candi ini. Selain candi Kalasan dan bangunan lainnya
juga ada tiga buah candi kecil di luar bangunan candi utama candi kalasan, yang
berbentuk stupa.
Candi Kalasan atau yang sering biasa disebut juga dengan Candi Tara merupakan bangunan candi suci yang dipersembahkan bagi sang putri Dewi Tara dan biara bagi para pendeta pada zaman dahulu. Candi Kalasan di bangun sebagai penghargaan atas perkawinan antara Pancapana dari dinasti Sanjaya dengan Dyah Pramudya Wardhani dari dinasti Syailendra. Candi tara ini selesai di bangun pada tahun 778M, sehingga menjadikan candi ini Candi Budha tertua di Yogyakarta.
MERAPI YOGJAKARTA
11 APRIL
2014
Mount
Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian/Javanese), is an
active stratovolcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta,
Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly
since 1548. It is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of the
large Yogyakarta city, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the
volcano, with villages as high as 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) above sea level.
Smoke can
be seen emerging from the mountaintop at least 300 days a year, and several
eruptions have caused fatalities. Pyroclastic flow from a large explosion
killed 27 people on 22 November in 1994, mostly in the town of Muntilan, west
of the volcano.Another large eruption occurred in 2006, shortly before the
Yogyakarta earthquake. In light of the hazards that Merapi poses to populated
areas, it has been designated as one of the Decade Volcanoes.
On 25
October 2010 the Indonesian government raised the alert for Mount Merapi to its
highest level and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground.
People living within a 20 km (12 mi) zone were told to evacuate. Officials said
about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the
weekend of 23–24 October, and that the magma had risen to about 1 kilometre
(3,300 ft) below the surface due to the seismic activity. On the afternoon of
25 October 2010 Mount Merapi erupted lava from its southern and southeastern
slopes.
The mountain was still erupting on
30 November 2010 however due to lowered eruptive activity on 3 December 2010
the official alert status was reduced to level 3.[5] The volcano is now 2930
metres high, 38 metres lower than before the 2010 eruptions.
After a
large eruption in 2010 the characteristic of the Mount Merapi was changed. On
November 18, 2013 Mount Merapi burst smoke up to 2,000 meters height, one of
its first major phreatic eruption after the 2010 eruption. Researchers said
that this eruption occurred due to combined effect of hot volcaninc gases and
abundant rainfall.
