Description: |
|
Pura Luhur Batukaru is a Balinese Temple located on the slopes
of Mount Batukaru in Tabanan. The temple is amongst the nine
directional temples on the island.
As one of the directional
temples in Bali, it is believed that the temple offers
protection of the island from dark spirits, particularly those
coming from the sea.
The temple traces its history to the
11th Century when it was constructed as a dedication to the
rajas of the regency at the time.
In the early 17th century,
the temple was destroyed and remained in that state up until the
20th century when it was reconstructed.
Pura Luhur Batukaru
is home to a unique shrine that is perhaps the most prominent
attraction. This shrine contains a meru tower with seven
distinct levels. The shrine was constructed as an offering to
the god of Mount Batukaru, the Mahadewa god. |
