MYSTICAL Besakih Temple (Mother Temple)

MYSTICAL Besakih Temple 

(Mother Temple)

Over a thousand years old, Besakih Temple is known as the "Mother Temple of Bali" Perched on the slopes of Mount Agung, at a lofty 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) Besakih is the biggest and holiest of all the Balinese temples. 

Named after the Dragon God believed to inhabit the mountain, it's said to be the only temple where a Hindu of any caste can worship. 

Eighteen separate sanctuaries belonging to different regencies and caste groups surround the three main temples dedicated to Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. 

To the Balinese, visiting the temple sanctuaries is a special pilgrimage. 

The mountain top setting gives it an almost mystical quality. 

Steps ascend through split gates to the main courtyard where the Trinity shrines, dedicated to Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu, are wrapped in cloth and decorated with flower offerings. 

There are are number of temples but many of their inner courtyards are closed to visitors.

 

If travelling on your own, try reach Pura Besakih before 9am, when many tourist buses start to arrive, so that you can take in the lovely temple in the quiet Balinese morning.
