7 temples to visit for a different side of Bali - SilverKris
"The island's largest and most important Hindu complex sits high on the slopes of Mount Agung and is often regarded as the “Mother Temple.” Comprising more than 20 interconnected temples and hundreds of shrines, it dates back to around the 8th century and was traditionally founded by a Javanese sage. Worship at the complex honours ancestral spirits, deified rulers and nature gods, and its scale and ceremonial role make it a central spiritual site for Balinese Hinduism." - SilverKris
