At the end of 2019 I had the opportunity to visit the island of the Gods - Bali, for a year-end vacation trip. I visited "Ulun Danu Bratan Temple or Bratan Pura" which is located on Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul district.

The temple which is a Hindu ritual site is the largest water temple on the island of Bali-Indonesia. If you have ever visited Bali, of course you should visit this site. Your journey will not be complete if you do not have time to visit the temple which was built since 1633.

Meru (Temple with eleven roofs dedicated to Shiva and his wife Parwati. Uniquely the Buddha also has a place in the temple of the Hindu.

This temple is actually used for offering ceremonies for the goddess Dewi Danu (Goddess of water, lakes and rivers) which is believed by the people of Bali. And Bratan lake is one of the important lakes for their irrigation.

Lake Bratan is known as a "Gunung Suci" (holy mountain) lake, this area is very fertile, situated at an altitude of 1,200 meters, and has a very cold climate. Here are some photography that I captured last year in frame Black and White.
