        "summary": "Culture Minister Fadli Zon has announced plans to install a chattra, made from bronze rather than stone, on the peak of Borobudur Temple to adapt to modern preservation needs while maintaining cultural significance. This lighter material is already used at Buddhist sites worldwide, including in India, Thailand, and Myanmar, and is expected to draw more tourists, particularly the global Buddhist community of 500-600 million. The initiative aims to boost visits for historical and religious reasons, potentially attracting millions to the UNESCO site.",

Fadli Zon stated that the\nchattra to be installed is not made from stone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(The material is truly from bronze, not stone) No, no. Not from\nstone. It\u2019s an adaptation, so to speak,\u201d said Fadli Zon, as quoted by\ndetikJateng on Saturday (18\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Fadli Zon explained that the raw material for the chattra will be\nmuch lighter than stone. He noted that such chattra are installed at\nsites across various countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an adaptation, so it\u2019s much lighter. It\u2019s used at all sites,\neven at the birthplace of the Buddha. Similarly in India, Thailand,\nVietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>He hopes that the presence of the chattra will attract tourists to\nvisit Borobudur Temple. He expressed hope that Buddhists from around the\nworld will come to Borobudur Temple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith that, more people will come, both tourists for historical\nreasons and for religious reasons.

Even one percent would be 5-6 million,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
