Batur Attractions

6 km (4 mi.) north-west of Penelokan on road No. 35, shortly before the lively market village of Kintamani, which straggles along the road, is the village of Batur, with the temple of Pura Ulun Danu Batur.
The temple buildings are grouped round a shrine dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of lakes and rivers, in the form of an eleven-tiered meru, which survived the eruptions of 1926 and 1963. There are a number of other merus, which form an impressive backdrop, particularly in the morning and evening.
The temple complex, built of black lava, has been constantly extended over the years, and when finally complete will comprise almost 300 buildings.
