Bali is island of Gods. There are thousands of temples in Bali. One of them is Pura Besakih, the Mother Temple of Besakih, in the village of Besakih on the slopes of Mount Agung, is the most important temple of Agama Hindu Dharma in Bali, and one of a series of Balinese temples. Pura Besakih is a must-go place. It signifies the oneness for the kingdom of Balinese Hindus.
Besakih Temple is the biggest Hindu temple in Bali which the local people call Pura Besakih. It owns beautiful view from the top of temple area where we can see the wide nature panorama until to the ocean so that way this temple is many visited by tourists from all over the world. The Besakih's name is come from the word of Basuki, the old language from Sanskrit Wasuki, and then it become the Ancient Java Language. In this Sanskrit, the Basuki means congratulation. In mythology of Samudramanthana has mentioned that Basuki is a dragon that twines the Mount Mandara. The omission has come from tradition megalithic which had been indicated that it had to be sanctified place. It seems the Besakih is coming from very old era which is far before the existence of Hinduism influence. The history of Besakih goes way back to the megalithic times (like the donut I ate this morning). One of the temples, Pura Batu Madeg contains a central stone, which indicates that the site was important long before the temple was built.
Sri Markandeya, was a Javanese monk, who founded Besakih in the 8th century. Important ceremonies were carried out at Besakih, and the temple attracted monks form far and wide. Lontar manuscripts indicate that during the Majapahit empire in 1343, Besakih was already a very important place and became the main temple of the Gelgel and Klungkung courts. Hereinafter, an Ancient Bali king of Sri Kesari Warmadewa found the Merajan Selonding Temple in this temple complex area. He also commands to build the Blanjong Monument that is located in Sanur Village.
The Besakih Temple complex is built pursuant to cosmos balance. It is based on the nature conception which is disseminating the fundamental temple complex that is arranged to pursuant of the way direction. So, this building can deputize nature as symbolic of the world balance existence.
Balinese temple is always base on Hindu philosophy and combines with Balinese local wisdom. As we familiarize, that the point direction way like East, South, West, North, and middle as centre point and each direction is named by Mandala. In Hindu philosophy, Panca Dewata is manifestation of Siwa God. Like Penataran Agung Temple as centre, we find in its courtyard conception show the solidarity conception between the original
