Pura Ulun Danu
Bratan, or Pura Bratan,
is a major Shivaite and water temple on Bali, Indonesia — the other major water
temple being Pura Ulun Danu Batur. The temple complex is located on the shores
of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. Water temples serve the entire
region in the outflow area; downstream there are many smaller water temples
that are specific to each irrigation association (subak).
Built in 1663,
this temple is used for offerings ceremony 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 stories of pelinggih meru are dedicated
for Shiva and his consort Parvathi. Buddha statue also present inside this temple.
Lake Bratan is
known as the Lake of Holy Mountain due to the fertility of this area.
Located 1200 m above sea level, it has a cold tropical climate.

Laten we hopen dat Rachmalia het voorbeeld kan volgen van grote Indonesiërs als Mohammed Hatta (Handelshogeschool, nu Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam).
Ik kende Mohammed Hatta niet, dus moest eerst even googelen. Een groots voorbeeld om te volgen!
