Bali Temples

PURA BESAKIH

Pura Besakih is not one temple but a vast complex of temples sprawling across the mountainside. For most visitors, the first impression is of the literally hundreds of delicately towering meru, their many tiered roofs of black palm-fiber thatching pointing skyward like a fleet of rockets awaiting the signal for lift-off.

Pura Besakih is not a launch pad but a landing field for the gods. The central temple in the complex, Pura Penataran Agung, is dedicated to the god Siwa. Pura Batu Madeg is dedicated to Wisnu. Pura Kiduling Kreteg is dedicated to Brahma. There are nineteen more temples spreading up the mountain slopes, each with its own purpose and ceremonial season, but the three dedicated to the Hindu Trinity are the most important. Their orientation in relation to each other and the mountain is reflected in the three raised lotus-thrones, or padmasana trisakti, in the second courtyard of the Pura Penataran Agung, with Wisnu, Siwa, and Brahma sitting from left to right, though some say seats are not assigned.

PURA TANAH LOT

Pura Tanah Lot was founded by the 16th-century priest Danghyang Niratha out of sheer adoration for the natural beauty of the landscape here. The little temple sits atop an outcrop of rock in the surf, guarded by sea snake. Visitors are not allowed to enter the temples at Pura Tanah Lot, and this is fortunate, for they arrive by hundreds everyday. It's still a place worth visiting. The big crush of tourists appears at sunset; those looking for some peace and quite should go just before dawn.

Besides Pura Tanah Lot there are several other temples nearby arrayed along the coast. The most picturesque of these is Pura Batu Bolong, its mean "the temple on the rock with a hole on it", a wall rock just out into the sea with a tiny temple on the tip. A huge arch is carved out by the sea.

PURA ULUWATU

Bukit's most famous landmark is the temple Pura Luhur Uluwatu, an architectural marvel situated on a headland at the westernmost tip of the plateau. According to the local tradition, the first Uluwatu temple was built by Empu Kuturan in the 11 th century, as one of the territorial temples of the island. Dang Hyang Niratha, the 16 th century reformer of Balinese Hinduism, rebuilt it in its present state. He is said to have elevated to heaven from it premises.
The temple is the best known for its sunsets over the long breakers of the sea downward, but it has also one of the most exquisite architecture of the island.
Pura Luhur Uluwatu, the amazing temple perching on the edge of stiff cliff on the South Coast. Like a ship of stone afloat in the sky, Pura Luhur Uluwatu is poised 825 feet above the Indian Ocean. The temple is carved from the enormous limestone rock upon which it sits at the farthest edge. Ulu means "head", watu is "rock" and luhur implies "heavenly", "ancestral", "original" and "transcendent" all at once.

Legend says that the temple was built by Mpu Kuturan in the 11th century, and then rebuilt several hundred years later by Danghyang Nirartha, the Javanese high priest who brought renewal of Hinduism to Bali in 16th century, in anticipation of his ultimate release there. Sacred monkeys roam freely over this high and airy place.

PURA BATUKARU

The one of the six axial temples (Sad Kahyangan) sacred to all Hindu Balinese, it may take a moment to appreciate that this is one of the most ancient sacred sites on the island. In the central temple courtyard are two large, long pavilion. The inner courtyard is small and neat, with three meru of three, five, and seven tiers in honor of the deified kings of Tabanan. The lake below has a shrine in the center honoring the goddess of Lake Tamblingan and the mount of Mount Batu Karu.

PURA RAMBUT SIWI

This temple contains a relic, a lock of the sage's hair (rambut) that is venerated (siwi). The temple is finely built of red brick with exquisite paras reliefs depicting scenes from the ancient play "Arjuna Wiwaha". A particularly good sculpture of Rangda stands guard in the gateway facing the sea. Down on the beach there are several cave temples, one of the most important bearing a sacred spring.

PURA ULUN DANU BATUR

This temple is the ceremonial throne for Ida Bhatari Dewi Danu, the goddess of the lake. The goddess is honored with a tall meru of eleven tiers, sign of the highest divinity. The meru of her consort, the god of Mount Agung, has only nine, while two other nine-tiered meru are dedicated to the god of Mount Batur and to deified King Waturenggong. One of the most interesting shrines in he inner courtyard is distinctly Chinese-looking pavilion to the far left, dedicated to a Chinese princess whose image is recalled in the barong landung dance play. In clear whether, the temples many-tiered meru are visible from miles away, but it is perhaps most beautiful in the tumbling fogs that swirl around the caldera.

PURA ULUN DANU BERATAN

This temple, as jewel of the lake Bratan, located in tourist center known generally as Bedugul. This is a major stop for the tourist buses, but it is too beautiful to miss. The outer grounds have been formally landscaped with clipped lawns and bold flowerbeds that reflect the elegance of the lakeside temple and its stately meru. The temple is said to be associated with the Bratan clan of pande caste, from which the lake takes its name. The goddess of the lake is honored at Pura Ulun Danu at the taller of the two meru on little islands near the shore.

PURA GUNUNG KAWI

This water temple is a delightful complex. A natural spring flows from the heart of the temple into a pool so clear that you can count the scales on the huge goldfish ghosting around the opulent island shrine at its center. Holy water is requested at an adjacent small shrine while nearby, and still within the temple walls, are the open-air public baths.

PURA TIRTA EMPUL

Well-known for the Holy Spring Temple with the State Palace, built by President Sukarno in the 1950's, squats on the hill above the temple. Most of the pavilions and sculptures in this temple are neither old nor exceptional. The spring-fed bathing pools are its important feature. The ritual and historical importance to the people of Gianyar of this complex lies in these pools in which Indra's celestial army was revived before defeating King Maya Danawa.

Just downstream from Tirta Empul, across the road and down along flight of the steps, is a far more peaceful temple complex called PURA MENGENING which is also built around a sacred spring. Here, where a great tree shades the pool, a strong sense of the Balinese veneration of nature can be felt.

BRAHMA VIHARA ASHRAMA BUDDHIST MONASTRY

The monastery is presided over by one of Bali's few Buddhists monks, Bhikku Giri Rakhita, a Brahman from Banjar, now elderly but still formidably energetic. The ashram, set into a hillside a few miles inland from Banjar, is well signposted and welcomes visitors. The monastery a blend of Balinese and mainland Southeast Asian architecture, offers a stunning panorama down to the sea. Not far to the west of the monastery is the Banjar Tega Hot Springs. The key word for this little spa is modesty: in fees, in water temperature about 100 Fahrenheit and in proper attire for bathing.

Lakes of Bali

LAKE BATUR

The Lake Batur, whose waters provide irrigation to the rice fields in the surrounding areas, stretches about 8km north to south, but no one has yet been able or willing to measure its depth. Located in mountain area with the spectacular caldera of mount Batur. Mount Batur itself is but a small volcano set just in the middle of a huge, 14 km wide crater next to a crescent-shaped lake of Batur, and surrounded by the tall walls of the caldera rim. The most fascinating viewing spot overlooks the Lake Batur and the volcano is in Penelokan. Penelokan, meaning " place for looking", is not a village but a cluster restaurant's, vendor's stalls, and overnight lodgings on the ridge close to the only road down into the caldera.

LAKE BERATAN

Situated in the cool mountains in the northern part of the Bedugul Regency, has a beautiful lakeside temple Pura Ulun Danu as its most famous and photographed attraction. Lake Bratan has boats water recreation facilities which include

Lake Bratan, hooded on the east by Mount Catur, is dark and deep and only slightly ruffled by the roaring watersports industry on her southern shore that is associated with the tourist center known generically as Bedugul. The jewel of the lake is the Candi Kuning, one of the few explicitly Buddhist monuments, and The Pura Ulun Danu Bratan.

LAKE BUYAN AND TAMBLINGAN

Located in the midst of rain forest. Near by Munduk, a Dutch-time plantation center and an eco-tourism hill resort. The peaceful and serene waters of the lakes contrast the wild forest of the surrounding.

Panorama Bali

BATUR

The Batur caldera, Bali‘s most sensational landscape. Batur it self is but a small volcano set just in the middle of a huge, 14 km wide crater next to a crescent-shaped lake of the same name, and surroud by the tall walls of caldera rim.

The two camps are easily recognized; the workers have as many clothes on as possible and the "bules" (Westerners) wear as little as possible. Be prepared for scantily clad Brazilians, G- stringed Italians, Australian in designer surf gear, and pretty Indonesian girls in multi-platform sandals - it is the united nations of beaches. Sunset is peak time at Sunset Legian.

ULUWATU BEACH

Uluwatu was formerly the playground of surfers almost exclusively. A number of developments planned on the barren bukit have meant that tarred roads have been put in, and slowly steps and access paths have been built down to the more popular beaches. Uluwatu is still the busiest, particularly at sunset when the monkeys play on the spectacularly located temple.

NUSA DUA BEACH

Was designed for the luxury conscious with a heavy concentration of big name hotels lining the beautiful white sand beach. Some of the resorts have private beaches but most areas are accessible. The stretch past the Hilton Resort has been a public beach and during the wet season, the outer reef there is a popular surf break. At present you will still find some simple warungs selling good food at cheap prices along this beautiful stretch of white sandy beach that offers excellent swimming. Conditions in a protected lagoon.

SANUR BEACH

Sanur beach is a calm, quiet lagoon that offers great conditions for wind surfing and parasailing. The stretch from the Grand Bali Beach Hotel to beyond the Bali Hyatt is now serviced by a beach walk making it possible to enjoy the many hotels and restaurants along the strip. Many watersports companies are based here, offering a number of recreational activities.

PADANG BAY BEACH

Padang bay is a harbor where the boats from Lombok take off, but is also a lovely, laid back fishing village with a few losmens (lodgments) for accommodation. A short walk over the headland to the north will take you to an intimate white sand beach.

LOVINA BEACH

About 10 km west of the capital of regency, Singaraja, Lovina is a complete contrast to the major resorts of South Bali. Fantastic sunset, snorkeling, diving, or just lazing on the beach are only a few examples of the attractions Lovina has to offer. While you are lazing on the beach, enjoy the sun going down on the horizon with the mountains on Java as a backdrop. Or go early in the morning to see dolphins jumping and diving in their natural habitat approx. one kilometer off the shore.

Monkey Forest

SANGEH

The Holy Monkey Forest Sangeh may be the only one that can truly be called a forest. This is the biggest and the first monkey forest introduced as a tourist object in Bali. The high Pala (Nutmeg) trees shade a mossy temple of Bukitsari amidst the forest. It is a Hindu temple, was originally built by the Royal Family of Mengwi, and is now taken care of by the people from the village of Sangeh. The temple heritaged by Mengwi Kingdom, one of Bali's major Kingdoms, which was built in the 17th century.

Visitors should be aware that these monkeys are attracted to shiny objects, so cameras and jewellery should be left behind or well hidden under clothes or in a bag before setting off to explore.

UBUD MONKEY FOREST

If you walk 1km due south from the central crossroad of Ubud along Monkey Forest Road, Bali's most famous shopping and eating street, brings one to a small grove of ancient trees and winding paths around a death temple and graveyard which is sanctuary to a fearless troop of long-tailed macaques. The monkey forest would be a most peaceful sanctuary had the resident monkeys not become so fearless of strangers in recent years. Some say these monkeys are vehicles for the capricious spirits of the yet unsettled dead, and wise visitors leave it to others to bring gifts of peanuts and bananas.

ALAS KEDATON

The monkey forest has become a tourist site of the worst sort. The temple and forest are bouncing with tame monkeys, not yet too mischievous, and there are pleasant guides to accompany visitors around the site. In the center of forest is a temple. The holiest location is situated in the yard and the temple is surrounded by a sacred forest with monkeys which are also considered sacred. There is also inhabitated by a group of bats are hanging all over the branch of trees and flying at all time, attracts of tourist and visitors both domestic or international.

Yeh Mampeh Waterfall

Yeh in Balinese means water, mampeh means flying, so this waterfall on the eyes of the villager of Les is seen as a flying water. Indeed this less known waterfall is one of the highest waterfalls in Bali. From the junction 36 kilometers east of Singaraja, north Bali capital, on the road connecting Singaraja and Amlapura in the east, between Tejakula and Penuktukan villages, follow the road ascending to the south for about a kilometer. The straight road ends at the small junction before the village bathing place.

Public bathing place of Les village. The water come from the same source as the waterfall.

Take the right turn then to the left, pass the Pura Desa ( one of three most important village temples ), pass the bridge, and arrive on the parking space just before the Pura Subak, the temple of life giving water of the traditional irrigation organization. From there the journey can only be continued by foot. Follow the beaten track for about a kilometer to the south away from the rice fields, then the vegetation become more and more tick.

Track to the "flying water".

We know that the waterfall is getting closer when the subtle roar is heard in the distant. Continue walking for a couple of minutes, and that's it, The Borboran Yeh Mampeh or The Flying Water Waterfall.

Borboran Yeh Mampeh or The Flying Water Waterfall.

If we are there in the middle or at the end of rainy season, then we get the bigger water. The waterfall become somewhat smaller at dry season.

Looking up..

The stream away from the waterfall even the shallow pool right under the waterfall is an excellent spot for bathing, especially after walking for the distant under the sun. Just keep away from near the middle of the fall, since the power of the water hitting the body is so powerful that hurts.

A magnificent site to cool off..

Like many natural spots in Bali, this place also considered sacred by the people. Some Balinese visitors occasionally bring simple offerings such as incense or flower to be placed on the rocks not far from the waterfall. Local guides normally escort visitors to this site, but even though when you visit this site without them it is advised to behave and speak in proper or gentle manner around the area or better still, along the journey.

The stream, away from the waterfall.

Walking away from the site and back to the crowd of Les village, you can continue your journey around Bali. To the east, you'll find Tulamben, Amed, Tirta Gangga, Amlapura and continue toward Candi Dasa, all of them offer good accommodations. To the west you'll meet Air Sanih, Singaraja, Lovina and Menjangan island, all are resort areas complete with tourist facilities. Except for Candi Dasa and Menjangan island, all of the sites can be reached in 1,5 hours or less.
