    Temples of Bali

    March 16, 2024 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    Most of Indonesia was Hindu at one stage. But then Islam spread through the archipelago and Bali was the only place to resist it. So it has a unique Hindu culture which the Balinese take very seriously.
    Every household has a shrine, every village has a temple and special places have very sacred temples.
    Taman Ayun Temple was built to worship the ancestral spirits of the kings of Mengwi. There are 9 pagodas surrounded by a moat represent the 9 major temples of Bali in the middle of a sea of ​​milk.
    This Temple is part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage listing for Bali's culture. For more info go to https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1194
