Mother Temple - Besakih

Mother Temple 


         There are many temples in Bali that is why they call it 'island of gods'. There are small ones and big ones, for families and big families and areas and some series of important temples. Those all are hindu temples. But there is a temple which is main temple. Mother temple of all followers Balinese people. The name is also Besakih Temple. It may come from its location. Or other names Besakih Mother Temple or Pura Besakih. Pura means temple in Balinese. The area temple located namely Besakih on slopes Mounth Agung which is an active volcano actually and the highest mountain in Bali right now. It is also a tourism destination and one of the must see place in your visit. Besakih Temple in fact not only one single temple but like a complex of temples. It is like a small fort with lots of temples inside.

     Like i said it is belong to all Balinese people. There is a reason for it and it is not only a religious reason but ancesteral. Why? Because Balinese people when they first immigrate here to island from Java Island ( yes they are not original people of Island, Original Balinese People is called Bali Aga or Trunyan People) around 40 Clan came to island and they built this temple and inside the temple there are temples for each 40 clan. Now all the people in Bali are member of one of this clan and automatically member of one of this temple there.
