Ulun Danu Bratan Temple – This temple was built on the shore of the lake in honor of Dewi Danu, the goddess of the lake that was created 30,000 years ago as a result of an explosion of a nearby volcano.

Candikuning Village, Baturiti Subdistrict, and Tabanan regency in Bali, Indonesia are the physical locations of the administrative headquarters of the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. The temple may be found in the central part of the island of Bali, some fifty kilometers to the north of Denpasar, on the main road that runs between those two cities (Denpasar and Singaraja).

Because it is one of nine “Kahyangan Jagat Temples” that are located across Bali Island, the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple has become one of the most important Temples for the Balinese people, particularly those who practice Hinduism. It is made up of five separate temple complexes and one Buddhist stupa, and their names are as follows:

Penataran Agung Temple
Dalem Purwa Temple
Taman Beiji Temple
Both the Lingga Petak Temple and the Prajapati Temple can be found in the midst of Lake Beratan.

Buddhist Stupa

These temple complexes are located inside the area known as “Daya Tarik Wisata Ulun Danu Beratan,” and they have been maintained by the local villages and the government for many years. To pray to the Almighty God on its manifestation as “Tri Murti” (Brahma, Visnu, and Shiva) for the fertility of soil, human wealth, and the preservation of the universe, Hindus in Bali and Hindus from other provinces in Indonesia frequently visit these temples. The Hindus pray for the preservation of the universe, human wealth, and human fertility.

Historically, this Temple was constructed by I Gusti Agung Putu in the 1556 Saka year, which corresponds to 1634 AD. It is currently maintained by four Satakan from the customary villages that surround the temple, and it has the following components:

Satakan Candi Kuning encompassing 5 Bendesa Adat (head of villages)
Satakan Bangah spanning 3 Bendesa Adat.
Satakan Antapan spanning 4 Bendesa Adat.
Satakan Baturiti spanning 6 Bendesa Adat.

In terms of its location, the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple can be found roughly 1200 meters above sea level. Additionally, the temple is encircled by the breathtaking scenery of a mountainous terrain that is filled with clean air. This location has emerged as one of the most well-known tourist destinations in Bali, and travelers from all over the world, as well as locals, make the effort to stop by while they are on holiday in the island paradise of Bali.
