MAGELANG - After a series of delays, the management of the ancient Buddhist temple Borobudur, in Magelang, began the process of cleaning volcanic ash from the temple grounds on Friday, hoping to complete the operation in less than a month.
"We will first remove the ash from the temple structure with brushes and spatulas. After that, we will cover the important parts of the temple, like the stupas and the statues, with plastic," Borobudur
Heritage Conservation Office official Iskandar M. Siregar, who leads the mission. "When the Merapi eruptions fully end, we will finally wash them with water," he added.
According to Iskandar, at least 60 officers from the office had been deployed to clean up the 120-by-120-meter temple, built between the eight and ninth century by the Sailendra dynasty. However, Iskandar denied critics accusations that management has been too slow in "saving the temple."
“We needed a few days before starting the cleanup mission to conduct preliminary research to decide the best method for rescuing the temple,” he said.
