1. Ancient Hindu Temple in Bali

   

Lempuyang Temple is an ancient temple in Bali Island, which was founded by Mpu Kuturan (a priest from Java Island) around 11^th Century. It is categorized as one of Sad Khayangan Jagat (the six main temples in the island) which others fives are Besakih Temple, Goa Lawah Temple, Uluwatu Temple, Batukaru Temple, and Pusering Jagat Temple.

These Sad Khayangan Jagat Temples are always crowded by the Hindus peoples who want to worship the manifestation of the God particularly on holy days. They usually bring some kinds of Balinese offerings (often called “Banten”) and also flowers as a means of worship.

Before entering the temple, the visitors will be required to wear a sarong (Balinese tradition fabric that wrap from waist to ankle) and also a shawl that ties around waist (outside sarong). Both items symbolize that a person is ready to enter into the holy temple.
