Here is the news about it.

The recent earthquake on Indonesia's island of Java badly damaged the famous Prambanan temple complex, sending intricate stone carvings crashing to the ground and destroying years of restoration work in less than a minute.

Recognized as a U.N. World Heritage Site, the ninth-century temple and the nearby Borobudur Buddhist complex are reminders of the rich Hindu and Buddhist past of what is now the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Together they have about one million visitors a year.

The seventh-century Buddhist complex, situated farther from the epicenter of Saturday's 6.3-magnitude quake, appeared to have escaped harm. But the deadly quake caused extensive damage to Prambanan, one of Southeast Asia's largest Hindu temple compounds.

Yesterday, large chunks of broken walls and carvings lay scattered at the foot of the eight main shrines. Pieces of small temples, or "candis," also had broken off.
