Standing solemnly in the rustic village of Sumberadi, this magnificent 9th-century stone statue depicts Agastya, the revered Hindu sage and incarnation of Shiva. Towering at 2.5 meters with intricate details â from his iconic potbelly and flowing beard to the sacred kamandalu (water vessel) â the statue radiates divine wisdom. Surrounded by scattered ancient relics and lush rice fields near Prambanan, this open-air heritage site offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into Java's spiritual past. A quiet yet powerful testament to the Mataram Kingdom's devotion, where history whispers through stone. ????6F7X+M78, Prambanan
