"Ulun Danu Beratan:The Floating Temple of Tranquility"

#springitinerary Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is one of Bali's most iconic and picturesque landmarks. Located on the shores of Lake Beratan in the mountains near Bedugul, this Hindu water temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of lakes and rivers. Built in the 17th century, the temple plays a crucial role in Bali’s irrigation system and agricultural life, as it supports the water distribution to the surrounding farming communities. What makes Ulun Danu Beratan Temple especially captivating is its serene setting: it appears to float on the lake when water levels are high, creating a magical, almost ethereal scene, especially during the misty mornings. The complex includes multiple shrines and traditional Balinese architecture, set against the cool climate and lush mountainous backdrop. It’s not only a spiritual site but also a cultural symbol featured in many Balinese postcards and tourism campaigns.
