About Besakih Temple (Pura Besakih)
Pura Besakih, the "Mother Temple" of Bali, is the largest and holiest temple of Balinese Hinduism. Set about 1,000 m up the slopes of Mount Agung, it is a complex of more than 20 temples on terraced levels, with Pura Penataran Agung at its centre.
Major ceremonies are held here throughout the Balinese calendar, and the view of the stepped shrines against the volcano is one of Bali's most iconic sights.
