Pura Besakih on Bali

The Pura Besakih, which is also called mother temple, lies in the southwest of the volcano Gunung Agung. It was built in approx. 1000 meters height and it is the most important hinduistic temple in Indonesia.
The origin of the Pura Besakih goes back to a sanctury, that already existed before the hinduism was spread on bali.
A series of eruptions of Mount Agung in 1963, which killed approximately 1,700 people also threatened Pura Besakih. The lava flows missed the temple complex by mere meters. The saving of the temple is regarded by the Balinese people as miraculous, and a signal from the gods that they wished to demonstrate their power but not destroy the monument the Balinese faithful had erected.
