One of the better ruins to see on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia is Muara Takus. It's located in Kampar Regency in Riau province, about a three-hour drive from the town of Pekanbaru.
Most of the temples are made with red sandstone, with half of one temple, Candi Bungsu, finished in a more upscale white stone.
Finish details, nice brick work. Not all of the temples have survived, a brick pile all that's left over from a former structure.
Understated beauty is the impression of this Buddhist temple complex, a small group of three structures, each a unique design. The temples date from the 11th and 12th centuries.

The most impressive temple is Candi Mahigal. Its round tower is about 40 feet tall.
