Bali, Indonesia Part 2

 

Bali is called the “Island of Gods” and sometimes called the “island of a thousand temples”. The temples and religious sites are everywhere on the island. Apparently there are 20 thousand temples in Bali.

We visited Batuan Temple.

The Batuan Temple is a Puseh Temple based on the concept of “Tri Kahyangan or Tri Murti,” which Mpu Kuturan taught the Balinese Hindu Community at the time in the 10th century.

Tri Kahyangan or Tri Murti, three temples included:

Desa Temple as a place to worship of God Brahma (the Creator)

Puseh Temple as a place to worship of God Vishnu (the Preserver)

Dalem Temple as a place to worship of Lord Shiva (the Destroyer)

Bali is truly a destination like no other.

Rich in its natural beauty, cultural heritage and the serene atmosphere.

The culture and traditions of the people fascinated me, and I would love to come back for longer.

 

Fun fact about Bali:

Priests In Bali Are Government Workers. The Hindu Priests of Bali are all paid a salary by the Muslim government of Indonesia.
