PURA LUHUR BATUKARU
Pura Luhur Batukaru is a temple in
Tabanan, Bali, Indonesia. Located on the southern slope of Mount
Batukaru, Bali’s second-highest volcano, the temple is one of nine
kayangan jagat (directional temples) meant to protect Bali from evil
spirits. Originally built during the 11th century, Pura Luhur Batukaru
was dedicated to the ancestors of the rajas of Tabanan. It was destroyed
in 1604, but rebuilt in 1959. The temple’s most important shrine is a
7-tiered meru dedicated to Mahadewa, the God of Mount Batukaru.
Today,
Pura Luhur Batukaru remains an extremely sacred site for Bali’s Hindu
population. Many of the complex’s grounds remain off-limits to visitors
for various ceremonies and events throughout the year. The temple is
also the first stop one must take before ascending to the summit of
Mount Batukaru. A pilgrimage takes place to the peak once a year, and
may see thousands of worshipers walk its trails at once.
