PM Modi, Prez Prabowo visit Prambanan Temple complex in Yogyakarta; launch conservation project
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, on Wednesday visited the centuries-old iconic Prambanan Temple complex in Yogyakarta, marking the inauguration of a joint conservation project for this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Modi described the initiative as a shining example of the enduring civilisational bonds between India and Indonesia, rooted in a shared heritage that has connected the people of the two countries for centuries. Built in the 9th century, the Prambanan Temple complex is the largest temple complex in Indonesia dedicated to the Trimurti-Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. The temple complex stands as an enduring symbol of the shared civilisational and cultural heritage between India and Indonesia, the Ministry of External Affairs said. PM Modi's visit came a day after both countries exchanged a Letter of Intent to start the project for the conservation and restoration of the temple complex with assistance from India. The joint conservation project, in which the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will be the lead agency from the Indian side, and the visit by PM Modi and President Prabowo to the iconic temple complex in the Yogyakarta region reflect the emphasis New Delhi puts on cultural diplomacy in boosting bilateral ties, according to experts. Modi, who landed in Jakarta on Monday to a grand welcome on the first leg of his three-nation tour, and President Prabowo travelled to Yogyakarta on Wednesday. They visited the Prambanan Temple complex and also unveiled a plaque, marking the commencement of the ASI's conservation and restoration project at the temple site. President Prabowo Subianto and I inaugurated the UNESCO World Heritage Prambanan Temple Compound Restoration and Conservation Project, Modi posted on X after his visit. The magnificent Prambanan Temple stands as a timeless symbol of our cultural and spiritual links. Preserving such heritage is about safeguarding the traditions that continue to inspire generations, he said Modi said India is privileged to partner with Indonesia in this important endeavour. As nations with deep cultural connections, India and Indonesia will continue to work together to celebrate our shared past while building an even stronger future, he added. On arrival at the Prambanan Temple complex, Modi was accorded a traditional welcome, following which the Prime Minister, accompanied by the Indonesian President, took a tour of the ancient site. Both leaders shook hands and stood for a photo opportunity, with the central spires of the temple complex in the backdrop. During his visit, Modi was also given a glimpse of the project and history of the temple, depicted on a ceremonial panel titled 'Indonesia-India Collaborative Cultural Heritage Conservation for Prambanan Temple Compound'. The centuries-old temple, located approximately 17 kilometres northeast of Yogyakarta city, is considered Indonesia's largest Hindu temple. In his address, while visiting the UNESCO-listed site, Modi said it was his honour to be part of the inauguration of the joint conservation project for the temple complex. By visiting this place with friend, President Prabowo, this occasion has become special for me, he said. The warmth between the two leaders was visible throughout the visit to the Prambanan Temple complex, signified by cordial handshakes, waving of their hands at the gathering and a warm hug towards the end of the visit to the heritage site. In conversations I hear, the winds here carry a scent of culture. That scent which we feel every moment on the soil of India. This scent, this cultural heritage, connects us, Modi said. 1,200 years...I thank the people here (in Indonesia)...the way they have preserved this grand heritage, and maintained it, and done it with a devotional faith. So, I also wholeheartedly greet people of Indonesia and all the rulers (of Indonesia) who have been, so far, he said. Modi described his experience of visiting the temple as a 'Chaitanyapurn chhann' (a moment imbued with a sense of divinity). I prayed to the Almighty for strengthening the India-Indonesia friendship, for the welfare of citizens of the two countries, and for swift development of the two nations, and offered worship with devotional faith, he said. While delivering his remarks, PM Modi, alongside President Prabowo, stood at their podiums, with the spires of the grand temple in the backdrop. As we begin the conservation and restoration work at Prambanan Temple complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage, I am very assured that Indian tourists will definitely visit this place, he said. India said its support for the restoration and conservation of the temple complex eflects its enduring commitment to preserving shared civilisational heritage. The conservation project follows the understanding reached between the two sides during President Prabowo's State Visit to India in 2025 to explore India's assistance for the restoration of the temples at the Prambanan complex, the MEA said in a statement. India has had a successful track record of heritage restoration and conservation of several World Heritage Sites in Southeast Asia. ASI has also earlier undertaken extensive documentation of the Borobodur Temple Compounds in Indonesia, it said. In his address at the temple site, Modi said, In far-off places of the world, wherever we go, we witness the cultural heritage of India. In Southeast Asia, this is the second-largest identity of our heritage. This temple has statues of Lord Shiva, Goddess Durga, and Lord Ganesha. For centuries, people have offered worship at this temple, and today I, too, had the fortune to visit this temple and offer prayers at this temple, he said. The original plan of the Prambanan temple was rectangular, consisting of an outer courtyard, middle courtyard and inner courtyard. The temples are subdivided into a higher and a lower terrace. On the higher terrace are three major temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma, with three smaller temples of their animal vehicles in front of them. The inner side of the walls of the Shiva temple is decorated with reliefs illustrating the epic Ramayana.

Giving KKR Trials At 14 In Front Of Ganguly Sir And Buchanan Felt Surreal, Says Samson
Kolkata Knight Riders: India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has opened up about how it felt surreal for him to give IPL selection trials for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the tender age of 14 in front of legends like former India skipper Sourav Ganguly and John Buchanan. Samson has been out of Indias playing eleven since the Manchester T20I against England, after having endured two low scores in Ireland. But on a trip down the memory lane, Samson, who played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2026, credited his childhood coach Biju George for shaping his early career and opening doors for him to attend KKR trials. After I went on to perform well for Kerala in the Under-13 tournament, Biju sir took me all the way to the Kolkata Knight Riders selection trials when I was just 14 years old. That felt unbelievably surreal for a 14-year-old. Sourav Ganguly sir was the captain of KKR at the time, and John Buchanan was the head coach. I gave my trials in front of them, and based on that performance, they selected me to be a part of the KKR 'B' team during that period. We even got to travel to Sri Lanka for matches with the 'B' team. Biju sir continuously opened doors and created opportunities for us, so the credit for shaping the early stages of my career will always, unconditionally, go to him, he said in an episode of JioStar's 'Superstars'. Samson also threw light on the initial hardships his family faced when they relocated from Delhi to Thiruvananthapuram, including struggle for taking mid-term admission in school. When we left everything behind and moved back to Kerala, we initially couldn't get admission into any school in Trivandrum. We had moved there during the mid-term, so we weren't getting admission anywhere. We tried so many schools, thinking we would go here or there, do this or that, but nobody was ready to admit us. In the end, there was a school called St. Joseph's in Trivandrum. One of my father's friends held a high position there. He asked my father what the matter was, and my dad explained that we weren't getting school admissions. He simply said, 'No problem, get uniforms for the kids the next day and send them straight to school.' Thats how it all began in Trivandrum. On how his father connected with George, currently the head of talent scouting at KKR, Samson said his father Viswanathan making endless phone calls from Delhi to find out about the cricket infrastructure in Kerala helped them very well. While we were still in Delhi, my father used to make endless phone calls to friends in Kerala to find out about the cricket scene there. He didn't know Biju sir at first, but he had a close friend named Ali bhai. He would constantly ask them where he should send me and my brother for cricket training after we moved to Kerala. Ali bhai strongly recommended Biju George sir, saying he was the best coach in Kerala and that he would guide us well. My father agreed. On that very first day, we had a short trial where we faced about 10 balls each, so he could see our natural ability. Within just 10 minutes of watching us bat, Biju sir made up his mind. He immediately sent my brother to play for the Wayanad district team, he said it would be a great opportunity for him. For me, since I was younger, he said I had to wait because my Under-13 matches were coming up, he added. The explosive batter stated that the immense sacrifices made by his parents provided him with the ultimate motivation to succeed in playing cricket from a young age. We loved our routine, morning practice, go to school, rush back, and train again. At that age, it made us feel like we were doing something meaningful. Our peers at school and the academy respected us for it. He immediately sent my brother to play for the Wayanad district team, he said it would be a great opportunity for him. For me, since I was younger, he said I had to wait because my Under-13 matches were coming up, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That is why getting out for 30 or 40 and then going home and telling my dad that I got out for 30 felt a bit heavy. But looking back, that environment brought the best out of me. While my friends played for fun, I walked onto the field with one goal, to make my parents proud and make their sacrifices count. That is what kept me focused at such a young age, he concluded. Article Source: IANS
