Rendang district. Pura Besakih is revered by all Balinese as the "mother temple"
of Bali. Originating as a shrine for the worship and pacification of the Gods of the great
Mt. Agung, Bali’s highest volcano, it has developed over the centuries to its present
complex which contains nearly 30 full temples, and the Gelgel Dynasty of rulers carried on
this responsibility from the 15th century on, adding a series of small temples
in honor of the deified rulers as they passed away. The provincial and national government
of Bali now take care of the upkeep of Besakih, and all Balinese look upon it as the most
holy of all holy places on their island. To see the temple in full ceremonial garb is an
experience quite overwhelming, but even at the quiet times is between anniversaries and
festivals it has a grand aura. This temple has a high religious, history, art and culture
value. From this temple all Hinduism people from all over Bali even Indonesia pray and
worship to the God every year for the health and welfare of the world.
