Bali is one of the cities and one of the islands in Indonesia. Bali is the most beautiful island in this country. There are many clear and nice beaches such as Sanur, Kuta, Nusa Dua and Singaraja. Besides the nice beaches, Bali is also known as the island of temple because there are at least 11,000 temples - Hindu temples - in the island.
The largest and holiest temple in Bali is Besakih Temple or Pura Besakih – Mother’s temple. It is located on the feet of Agung Mountain. The record mentioned that at the beginning of 11th century, Besakih Temple became to the state temple. It has remained the state temple since that time until today. Also same as every temple in Bali, Besakih Temple is not a closed building but a mostly open-air affair.
The anniversary of temple or Odalan is the best day to visit there if you are looking for pageantry. People go there to celebrate winning between god and evil and there are a lot of activities. It’s very nice. The ceremony usually comes in April or in the tenth month of the Balinese calendar.
