Since the early 20th century the temple has been slowly and carefully reconstructed , yet it has not been completely restored . There are hundreds of temple ruins , and many stones are missing . The main temple reconstruction and two of the apit temples on the east side were completed in 1993 and inaugurated by President Soeharto on 20 February 1993 . The temple was severely damaged during the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake . The structural damage was significant , and the central temple suffered the worst . Large pieces of debris were scattered about on the grounds , and cracks between stone blocks were detected . To prevent the central temple from collapsing , metal frame structures were erected on the four corners and attached to support the main temple . Although some weeks later in 2006 the site was reopened for visitors , the main temple remained closed for safety reasons . Today the metal frame has been removed , and visitors may visit and enter the main temple
