Description :The objective of this article to touch upon issues which are an integral part of research and are of more general interest. This means that for reasons of space: it will not be possible to discuss the Karana of Prambanan from a technical point of view, nor will it be possible to go into the details of how the complex was, restored and what went wrong during this process. The sequence of reliefs seen on the temple today is definitely not the original one and it could well be that these reliefs showing only drummers may have had a separate placing and that the apsarilwidyadhara groups in niches did not belong there at all. There is also the question of identification of the performers which, at this stage, cannot be brought to a definitive conclusion'. However these questions cannot be dealt with here and will have to gloss them over, reserving to write about them in a different context",

The sequence of reliefs seen on the temple today is definitely not the original one and it could well be that these reliefs showing only drummers may have had a separate placing and that the apsarilwidyadhara groups in niches did not belong there at all.
