Pura Luhur Batukaru, Hindu sanctuary at Mount Batukaru, Tabanan, Indonesia.

The temple complex extends across multiple courtyards on the southern slope of Mount Batukaru at an elevation of 2,270 meters above sea level.

The temple dates from the 11th century when it became the state temple of Tabanan rajas before its destruction in 1604 and reconstruction in 1959.

The seven-tiered pagoda within the inner sanctuary holds great religious importance as it honors Mahadewa, the deity of Mount Batukaru.

The temple requires visitors to wear traditional sarongs and sashes, which are provided at the entrance, and maintains specific visiting hours from 8 AM to 5 PM.

Local Subak farming groups collect sacred water from the temple's spring for agricultural ceremonies, connecting spirituality with traditional farming practices.
