Photographer’s Note
This very important Hindu-Buddhist temple was founded in the 17th century. It is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of the waters, and is actually built on small islands, which means it is completely surrounded by the lake. Both pilgrimages and ceremonies are held here to ensure that there is a supply of water for farmers all over Bali.
This is my favorite Balinese temple. When there are not many tourist it so relaxing to contemplate this temple and the surroundings lake !
