India has taken significant steps to assist in the restoration of the Prambanan Temple in Indonesia, the largest Shiva temple in the country. This initiative forms a key part of India's cultural diplomacy, linking it to ancient Hindu heritage sites across Southeast Asia, including Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Vat Phou temple in Laos.
The restoration underscores India’s commitment to preserving shared cultural heritage and fostering stronger ties with ASEAN nations through historical and religious linkages. This collaborative effort not only conserves an important monument but also reinforces India's soft power and regional connectivity.
