From several references, Borobudur is a masterpiece of Indonesian Buddhist art and is an example of achieving harmony in architectural techniques and aesthetics of Buddhist art in Java.
The Borobudur Temple building is inspired by dharma ideas from India, including stupas and mandalas, and is believed to be a continuation of local elements. The stepped punden megalithic structure or also called the terraced pyramid found in Indonesia's prehistoric period is a blend of native Indonesian ancestor worship and the struggle to achieve nirvana in Buddhism.
