Pura Besakih - Bali's Mother Temple

On the way home from Sidemen, Katrinka and I visited the mother temple, Pura Besakih, at the base of Agung, the largest mountain in Bali. We walked a long way in the rain with a guide from where we parked and up and up around and through the sprawling complex of pagodas and temple buildings. Check it out here. Typical of Bali, few statues and those not of central import. The guide said it was Buddhist as well as Hindu.
