Pura Ulun Danu Batur, Hindu temple in Kintamani, Indonesia.

Located on the rim of Batur Volcano, this temple features 285 shrines and pavilions across nine different temple compounds dedicated to water deities.

The original temple from the 17th century was relocated in 1926 after Mount Batur's eruption, with only the sacred 11-tiered shrine surviving the natural disaster.

The temple honors Dewi Danu, the lake goddess, through ceremonies during full moons, maintaining the balance between divine forces, humans, and environment.

Visitors can reach the temple from Ubud by road and must wear traditional ceremonial attire including sarongs and sashes to enter the grounds.

This UNESCO World Heritage temple stands at 1,459 meters above sea level, containing nine temples with 285 structures dedicated to water management.

Architectural style: Balinese architecture

Part of: Cultural Landscape of Bali Province: the Subak System as a Manifestation of the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy
