Visit Beautiful Temples with Bali Tour Package for Couple
The main tourist destination of Indonesia, Bali is an
island where Balinese Hinduism has been followed since centuries by a majority
of its population. As a result, many fascinating temples have been built on the
island over the years that attract many visitors every year. Inscriptions
dating back to the 10th century mention the name of a Hindu king known as Sri
Kesarivarma, who ruled this part of Indonesia during those times. The marriage
of Mpu Sindok's great-granddaughter and King Udayana Warmadewa brought more
Hinduism to Bali along with the Javanese culture.
Honeymooners can visit the temples with the help of a Bali
tour package for couple and explore the awe-inspiring architecture of these
structures. One of the most visited temples in this part of Indonesia is the
Tanah Lot Temple, which is well-known for its unique settings with shrines in
its onshore and offshore sites. This temple is located in the Tabanan regency's
Beraban village. You would find shops, restaurants, and a cultural park on the
onshore site. The local authorities have done a brilliant job of preserving
this ancient temple after it fell into a decline in the 1980s.
You’ll also be delighted to visit the Besakih Temple
during your Bali holidays. It has been known as the island's 'Mother Temple'
for more than a thousand years and sits on Mount Agung's south-western slopes.
This unique complex comprises many temples, including Pura Penataran Agung or
'The Great Temple of State'. Upon visiting this complex, you'll also get the
opportunity to savour the scenic views of hills, mountains, rice paddies, and
streams. This temple complex features three temples that are dedicated to the
Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Besakih Temple is the only one on
the island open to all, irrespective of their caste groups.
Another prominent temple complex you can explore
during your Bali holidays is the Tirta Empul Temple Complex. It is located in
the Manukaya village and is a national cultural heritage site. The complex was
built in the 10th century when this region was under the rule of the Warmadewa
Dynasty. It has several purification baths, pools, and fish ponds that are fed
by a spring that gave this temple complex its name. The name 'Tirta Empul'
literally translates as 'holy water spring'. During your visit to this temple
complex, you can also explore its pathways and gardens that are adorned with
many statues and tropical plants.
While holidaying on this wonderful Indonesian island,
you can also visit the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. The name means 'Source Temple
of Lake Beratan' and it comes from its location on the Beratan Lake's western
side in Bedugul area. Most of the temple's base is surrounded by the lake while
the entire structure has a scenic backdrop of the region's mountain range. This
temple was built in the 17th century and is dedicated to the Hindu deities
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and the lake goddess, Dewi Danu. As the site is located
on the Bali uplands, you can enjoy a cool and pleasant atmosphere during your
visit.
