Potret Indonesia will take you on a journey to capture the vibrant Waisak celebration at Borobudur Temple, a significant gathering place for Buddhists in Indonesia and around the world.

​

The highlight of the Waisak celebration is the lantern release. Releasing lanterns symbolizes sending prayers and hopes into the sky during the sacred Waisak moment. Thousands of glowing lanterns ascending into the night sky are seen as a symbol of peace and enlightenment.

​

Participants will also visit Jomblang Cave, a vertical cave formed by geological processes that caused a land and vegetation collapse. This event created a sinkhole with an opening of approximately 50 meters, turning Jomblang Cave into a conservation site for ancient plants at its base.

​

Here, visitors will witness the breathtaking sight of sunlight streaming through the cave, illuminating the flowstone, famously known as the "Light of Heaven." This mesmerizing view can only be enjoyed between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM when the sun perfectly aligns with the cave’s entrance, provided the weather is clear.

​

Beyond that, the adventure continues with a stunning sunset at Watu Lumbung Beach and an unforgettable sunrise at Jungwok Beach and Nepal Van Java.
