Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday visited the historic Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta along with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, where the two leaders marked the launch of an India-backed conservation and restoration project for the nearly 1,000-year-old Hindu temple complex. The visit underscored India’s growing cultural diplomacy under its Act East policy and highlighted the centuries-old civilisational ties between India and Indonesia.

Before arriving at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, PM Modi took an aerial view of the sprawling Prambanan Temple complex from a helicopter while travelling with President Prabowo Subianto.
