Besakih Tample
Besakih Temple or Mother temple is the biggest temple in Bali, it's located at Besakih Village, Rendang district, on the south west of Mount Agung. It's about 1000 meters above the sea level, 44 kilometers from Amlapura, 13 kilometers from closest city Klungkung and 62 kilometers from the main city Denpasar.
Besakih was built on terraced site where prehistoric rites, ceremonies, and feasts once took place. Perhaps it was here where the spirit of the great, angry mountain, which loomed menacingly above the island, received pagan sacrifices Certain timeworn megaliths in some of the bale are reminiscent of old Indo-Polynesian structures.
