| Pura Besakih |
Known as the "Mother Temple" in Bali, Pura Besakih is situated 3,000 feet up the slopes of
Mount Agung in
East Bali. Pura Besakih, considered the most important Hindu temple in
Bali, is actually a
complex of 23 separate temples
that can be explored by tourists. The Pura Besakih temples are thought
to date back to the 14th century, however some locals date them back as
early as the 10th century.
Constructed on six different levels, Pura Penataran Agung is the
epicenter of the temple district. White banners flying around Pura
Penataran Agung denote the temple's dedication to Shiva. Pura Besakih,
famous for allowing Hindu followers from any caste to worship, draws
worshipers from all over the world.
Pura Besakih made the world spotlight in 1963 when the temple -
thought to have been saved by the gods - miraculously survived a
devastating eruption by Mount Agung. Pura Besakih was nominated as a
potential UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
But we had a bad experience as guide asked us to pay $65USD. So ridiculous!!! We don't want to argue and paid and after that we told our driver about the bad experience and he expected it already. Well well........me and hubby don't want to talk about it, really pissed us off!!!
Here are some of the photo we took throughout our trip. Overall it was a nice trip and we enjoyed it very much! Hope to come back here with my two kids.
