Pura Ulun Danu Bratan

In Bali, Hindu temples are known as "pura", being designed as open-air places of worship in walled compounds.
The compound walls have a series of intricately decorated gates without doors for the devotee to enter. The design
and plan of the holy pura follows a square layout.[2][3] A typical temple is laid out according to ancient Lontar texts with
three courtyards separated by low walls pierced by ornate gateways. The outer courtyard is for secular pursuits, with
pavilions used for meetings, resting performers and musicians at festivals. Food stalls are set up here during
festivals. The middle courtyard is a transition zone between the human and divine sections; here offerings are
prepared and temple paraphernalia are stored. The inner courtyard is the site of the shrines and religious
ceremonies. The shrines are known as merus and are square structures with brick bases and multiple pagoda-style
thatched roofs; the number of roofs reflects the status of the deity, and is always an odd number.[4] Pura Ulun Danu
Beratan is one of the nine 'Kahyangan Jagat' temples on Bali. The temple complex consists of five various shrines
dedicated to other Hindu gods as well.[citation needed]
Built in 1633, the temple is used for offerings and ceremonies dedicated to the Balinese water, lake and river
goddess Dewi Danu, due to the importance of Lake Bratan as a main source of irrigation in central Bali. The 11-
storey pelinggih meru in the complex is dedicated to Shiva and his consort Parvathi. Buddha's statue is also
enshrined in this temple. This temple is also called the "Bali temple on the Lake" because it looks as if it is floating
when the Bratan River rises.
The Tegallalang Rice Terraces in Ubud are famous for their beautiful scenes of rice paddies and
their innovative irrigation system. Known as the subak, the traditional Balinese cooperative
irrigation system is said to have been passed down by a revered holy man named Rsi
Markandeya in the 8th century. Tegallalang forms the 3 most splendid terraced landscapes in
Ubud's shared region, with the others being in the villages of Pejeng and Campuhan.
The Tegallalang rice terraces alone offer a scenic outlook that spreads down before you and
away to the far side of the valley. The high roadside location is cool and breezy and it’s a well-
known spot for tourists to stop and take photos. Painters and nature lovers also enjoy visiting
this spot, and there are numerous art kiosks and cafés near the ledge.
