Riau
Candi Muara Takus
Like many other structures of its kind in Sumatra, this Buddhist stupa near the village of Muara
Takus in the Tigabelas Koto district was built with red bricks and sand. The temple is believed to
have been built at around the 9th or 10th century AD when the power of the South Sumatra-based
Sriwijaya empire was at its peak. Excavations are still being made to deter-mine the precise age
and function of the stupa.
