Keeping the Moss away from Borobudur
Borobudur is a temple with more than 2672 reliefs and 504 Buddhist statues. It was built with more than 60.000 cubic meters of andesite volcanic rock and more than a million stone blocks.
One of the challenges in keeping this Unesco World Heritage site clean is brushing moss off the structure, especially during the rainy season. One of the many ways to keep the temple pristine is by spraying it with water. Another method employed by the staff is by brushing. Thankfully the Borobudur Temple has a drainage system to wash down the rain water.
