This temple is located on the slope of Mt. Agung, the highest mount in Bali. This temple is considered to be the holiest of all temples in Bali. For more than one thousand years this temple was enlarged many times into its present form. According to an old chronicle that in 1007 when Queen Mahendradatta - King Udayanas wife - died, a big and important ceremony took place here. This is an evidence that this temple is very old. And since 15th century it was the state temple of the Gelgel - Klungkung dynasty and they built some more small temples here.
Mouth Agung
Mount Agung (3142m) is the highest mountain in Bali and towering majestically over eastern and northern Karangasem. On March, 17 1963, Mount Agung erupted which was the most disastrous volcanic eruption. Streams of lava and hot volcanic mud poured down to the sea in the southeast of the island, covering roads and isolating the eastern end of the island. The whole island was covered in ash and crops were wiped out.
It destroyed many villages and temples, and killed thousands of people. Most of those killed were either burned to death or choked by the burning clouds of hot gas rushing down the volcanic slopes. It destroyed the whole villages of Sorga and Lebih. Amazingly, Besakih village, just a few km from the crater, suffered little damage. |
