by the sea. Poisonous but peaceful
sea snakes, which have white and black
colors, found at the base of the rocky
island are believed to guard the temple
from evil spirits and intruder. It

The beach around Tanah Lot is great
for horse riding and watching dramatic
sunsets, but not for safe swimming.

GOA GAJAH |
 |
A short distance
from Bedulu stands the mysterious
Goa Gajah Temple or Elephant Cave
temple but there were never any elephants
on Bali. A fantastically carved entrance
depicts entangling leaves, rocks,
animals, ocean waves and demonic human
shapes running from the gaping mouth
which forms the entrance to the cave.
However, Goa Gajah Temple dates back
certainly to the 11th century. Whether
it was originally a Buddhist or Hindu
hermitage cannot be answered with
certainty, for there are both Hindu
and Buddhist sculptures inside or
outside the cave. Perhaps monks of
both religions had hermitages close
to one another. In pre-Majapahit Java
and Bali, the two religions, both
influenced by Tantric beliefs and
practices, had begun to amalgamate
into what is called the Siwa- Buddha
cult. Buddhist practices and doctrines
survive to this day amongst a small
segment of the Brahmana broken bas-reliefs
of stupas and a tiny cavern priests
who are mostly found in East Bali.

BESAKIH TEMPLE |
 |
Besakih Temple
located at Karangasem Regency, east
coast Bali. A climb north, through
the astonishing landscapes of Bukit
Jambul, ascends over 900 meters up
the slopes of Gunung Agung to Pura
Besakih, the holiest of all temples
in Bali. It originated most probably
as a prehistoric terraced sanctuary
where worship and offerings were made
to the god of Gunung Agung, the dominant
landscape element in the Balinese
world. Over a thousand years and more,
it was enlarged and added to until
it grew into the present complex of
about 30 temples.
In the 10th century it was apparently
a state temple. According to inscriptions
kept here, an important event took
place in the year 1007. If can only
be guessed that this was associated
with death rituals for Queen Mahendradatta,
Udayana's co-ruler who died the
previous year. Since the 15th centuries
it was the state temple of the Gelgel-Klungkung
dynasty which built a series of
small temples in honor of its deified
rulers. Now it is the state temple
for the provincial and national
governments which meet all expenses.
Today, Pura Besakih is revered by
all Balinese as the "mother
temple" of Bali
