JAKARTA - The Percandian Muarajambi area is now preparing to shine brighter on the global tourism map. Not only as a static archaeological site, the government through the Minister of Culture Fadli Zon officially accelerated the restoration of the largest Buddhist complex in Southeast Asia with a big vision: Living Heritage.
What makes this transformation interesting for the tourism world?
Not Just a Temple, but a Living Space
Unlike the typical open museum, Muarajambi is projected to become a functional cultural ecosystem. Tourists will not only see piles of ancient bricks, but can also feel the spiritual atmosphere through active religious ritual activities.
"Muarajambi must be an active religious ecosystem, not just a static site," said Fadli Zon in a coordination meeting in Jakarta (15/1).
Focus on Kedaton and Koto Mahligai
For the initial phase, the main focus is on the Kedaton Temple and the Koto Mahligai Temple. The restoration of these two temples is carried out with a high level of craftsmanship to maintain the complex architectural details. This effort ensures that the aesthetic and historical value offered to tourists remains authentic and fascinating.
Spiritual and Tourism Collaboration
This step has the full support of the Buddhist community (WALUBI). This synergy ensures that the development of tourism in Muarajambi will continue to maintain the solemnity of rituals, thus creating a quality spiritual tourism experience (pilgrimage tourism) for foreign visitors.
With the acceleration of the development of landscapes and supporting facilities, Muarajambi is expected not only to strengthen the national cultural identity, but also to become a world-class destination that is relevant for today's generation.
