Pura Ulun Danu Bratan Reviews
 An attractive directional Balinese Temple Apr 03, 2007
Located in Bedugul highlands,built in 1633 by the King of Mengwi,dedicated to Dewi Danu,the Goddess of the waters,the main building of the Temple lies on a small island of the Lake Bratan.As the lake is one of the major lakes which supplies water for the ricefields all over Bali,ceremonies and pilgrimages are held here to ensure that farmers in Bali have enough water and bountiful crops.
The Temple consists of several shrines on the grounds,along the shore but the most beautiful is the conventional Hindu thatched meru which seems floatting in the middle of the lake. On the mainland,Pura Teratai Bang(black lotus), featuring a seven thatched-roofed meru is dedicated to the God Brahma. There are also a three roofed meru dedicated to Siwa and an eleven roofed one to Wisnu. Walking past the entrance are a large banyan,lovely gardens and a Buddhist shrine. Also on the site is a Mosque, opposite the Hindu Temple.
