Various theories have been expressed with regards to the religious meaning of the Tjandi Barabudur, the most famous buddhistic monument of the Hindu-Javanses Art in ancient Jave. A straight line connecting Tjandi Barabudur and Tjandi Mendut passes Tjandi Pawon. By the archaelogical surveys made so far suggested that there must been some connections between these monuments, and the existence of a large scale buddhistic temple consisting these three sanctuaries and some more others, such as a vihara, etc. And from this point of view, the religious meaning of the Barabudur would be a "Stupa". Beside, the author spent a considerable time on the site recently and felt his personal inspiration about this problem, and the author determined subjectively that the religious character of the Barabudur would be a "Stupa". Finally, from the architectural point of view, the Barabudur was analized technically. The Barabudur itself has been built around the top of a natural hill, which consequently forms the nucleus of Structure. It is a quite defferent the structural form from any other monuments in India or in the wide sphere of Indian-Art and this fact proves that the Barabudur is an absolutely pure creation of an architect of unusual talent. So the religious meaning of this monument could not or should not be determined only from it's architectural composition.
