BESAKIH
As
the most sanctified and influential of the island's countless
temples, Besakih Temple inherited shrines for all Hindu
Balinese, who regard Pura Besakih as the apex of holiness.
Having a main role as a home to the most important and sacred
of Bali's many temples. Sighted on the high slopes of Gunung
Agung, the highest and most significant volcano in Bali,
Besakih enjoys spectacular views to all of southern Bali.
Pura Besakih is not
one single temple, but rather a sprawling complex of shrines
and compounds, united through ancient rituals into a sanctuary
of unmatched importance in Balinese culture. Badly damaged
in the 1963 eruption of Gunung Agung, the temple has been
fully restored. Remember to dress with respect.
