Summary

Borobudur Temple is revealed as a monumental example of ethnomathematics—a field studying mathematical concepts embedded in cultural practices. This study demonstrates that Borobudur's structure encapsulates intricate religious, moral, and mathematical principles, interlinked through its design. The research concludes that these concepts, though unrecognized by ancient builders, have persisted as cultural products, illustrating mathematics' deep integration into societal life. Using historical and cultural approaches, the study explores Borobudur's philosophical foundations, offering a unique lens to understand its architectural brilliance as both an educational tool and a mathematical masterpiece.
