At about five to six kilometers from the
volcano’s crater, the Hindu temple
complex sits at what is considered
safely outside of Agung’s danger zone
—set currently at a radius of four
kilometers from the crater by
Indonesia’s volcanology center.
Located in Karangasem in eastern Bali,
the volcano is removed from the most
developed parts of Bali and is about 75
kilometers from the tourist hub of Kuta.

“Since eruptions on Monday, we have

not closed the temple, even since
erupting last month, we still are serving
tourists and people coming to pray,”
Wayan Ngawit, Besakih manger of
operations, said on Thursday, as quoted
by Detik.
Known as the Mother Temple of Bali,
Besakih is not only an important point of
interest for tourists, but also holds a
deep significance for Balinese as a holy
place of worship.

“The government has not dared to

declare the Besakih area closed
because the situation and conditions
are uncertain. Besakih Temple is a very
important place for the Hindu
community,” said Bali Deputy Governor,
Ketut Sudikerta, who also serves as
regional chairman of the regional
management agency of Besakih.
If anything, the volcano’s ash-spewing
activity has seemed to attract some
foreign tourists, curious to view
eruptions from the vantage point of
Bali’s Mother Temple.

“It got interesting during the eruption,
