Pura Besakih temple in Bali (Mount Agung)
Pura Besakih temple in east Bali is a temple complex in the village of Besakih on the slopes of Mount Agung, main Bali's volcanoe. Pura Besakih is the most important, the largest and holiest temple of Hindu religion in Bali. Perched at 1000 meters up the side of Mount Agung (3031 m), Pura Besakih is built on six levels, terraced up the slope.
Pura Besakih is an extensive complex of 23 separate but related temples with the largest and most important being Pura Penataran Agung. The stone bases of Pura Penataran Agung and several other temples resemble megalithic stepped pyramids, which date back at least 2,000 years. It was certainly used as a Hindu place of worship from 1284 when the first Javanese conquerors settled in Bali. By the 15th century, Besakih had become a state temple of the Gelgel dynasty.
