Beautiful Balinese Temples
Bali has various nick names like: The Last Paradise, Island of Love, and Island of Gods. The majority of Balinese are Hindu rich with traditions; customs, art and culture are unique and beautiful. You will agree when we give again a nick name: "Bali, the island of thousand temples".
Why? As you will see the Temple scattered in various places, both large and small temples in houses, temples in every village, town and at various government offices and at various private companies office, schools and universities.
You will admire the temple of Besakih, the largest temple complex in Bali. This temple is a gathering place for the Balinese to worship God. This temple is different from the family or clan temple in Bali because of the Besakih Temple, located in District of Rendang, Karangasem regency is a place of worship the Balinese background regardless of family or clan that many in Bali, so that the Balinese remain united.
Unity in the middle of this difference is very beautiful so as to provide inspiration for the Balinese to have the attitude and actions of a high tolerance to other religions such as Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist, Confucian, and the flow of other religions in Bali.
In addition to Besakih temple, there are many temples that became a meeting place for the Balinese people regardless of their family group or clan differences to pray together at certain ceremonies such as Pura Tanah Lot, Ulun Danu, Pura Kelotok, Pura Taman Ayun, and many other temples.
Another unique temple exists in some beautiful place like the mountains, hills, on the edge of the lake or beach and near rivers. Pura Tanah Lot, for example, is a temple built on a rock. You will be amazed by the beauty of this temple, especially at sunset which gives a beautiful effect of light on the sea in this temple.
When you've finished surfing or diving in Kuta beach or Dreamland, remember to visit Uluwatu Temple near Jimbaran because this temple is on a Clift. In this temple you will meet with many funny monkeys. Remember to bring bananas or peanuts for the monkeys as a souvenir.
You would be amazed at Pura Taman Ayun Mengwi near the village not far from the city of Denpasar. This temple is surrounded by beautiful water garden. If you ever see water parks such as Chinese or Japanese garden, then you can call the park that you will find in Bali as the Balinese garden. You will usually see the lotus flower or a type of grass that grows tall in the middle of the pond.
The king who built the temple Taman Ayun is concerned with the beauty and Balinese architecture that always pays attention and balanced relationship between the environment and the strength of temple building. Pura in other places such as Pura on the edge of Lake Beratan or around the lake Batur also give priority to the balance between the physical architecture and natural beauty that must remain stable.
The beauty of temples in Bali is visible from the green grass in the temples courtyard, trees and beautiful flowers. Balinese architecture you find in Bali is also provided inspiration in homes, hotels, offices, villas and public buildings in Bali, so the magical atmosphere of a temple you can feel when you break in a villa or hotel in Ubud, Nusa Dua , Candi Dasa, Canggu, Lovina beach, and other places in Bali.
There are many other beautiful temples in Bali as a small temple in the fields or in the traditional markets that exist in many places in Bali. The Balinese are religious but they are open to ideas from the outside world, even with a genius adopted as part of Balinese art and culture. This you will find on handicraft products, fashion, painting, modern Balinese dance, and so forth.
Magical atmosphere in the Temple did not make the Balinese community fanatical and closed on the culture from the outside. During the foreign culture that does not disturb the atmosphere of spiritual and indigenous culture of Bali, the foreign cultural elements will be accepted, even will be applied in contemporary art. You will be confused and somewhat difficult to distinguish between genuine Balinese arts with the art product that is subject to the influence of foreign culture.
Arts and culture, customs, religion and tradition in Bali are living in every aspect of Balinese daily life, so that seems very natural, not only you can see the stage performances or exhibitions, but is alive and will always be there, so Bali is an island of natural resorts.
