Today was the last day of my visit in Bali. In morning we had our breakfast & checked out our hotel leaving our luggage in the hotel only & left for the sightseeing. 




First we went to a handicraft factory where we saw the weavers spinning cloths & making a variety of handmade stuffs from the handmade cloth the woven themselves. One can choose any design and ask for on the spot design on the cloth or T-shirts, tops and other dress material.







After spending some time over there we left for one of the famous temples of Bali       “ Batuan Temple”. 







The Batuan temple is located beside the main road from Denpasar to Ubud. On one side of road there is temple parking area along with a covered platform from where you get entry ticket for the temple and other side is the temple.


Covered platform from where you get entry ticket


The entry charge for the temple is Rp. 5000/-.  It is must to wear a sarong  before entering the temple which is available free of cost which must be returned after visiting the temple. Tourists can donate any amount for the maintenance of the temple.








The temple is beautifully designed with Balinese architecture & there is high entrance Balinese gate called “Kori Agung”  which is flanked by many statues.

The temple is dedicated to Lord shiva , Vishnu & Brahma and it is divided into three parts Nista Mandala (outside area) , Madhya Mandala (Middle area) & Utama Mandala (Main temple).








In Next post I will take you to another temple of Bali. Till then Good bye !

  8. The temple looks beautiful. But why sarong? In Thailand if you are wearing a short dress they ask yo to wear a sarong, any idea?

    1. In some of the temples in India males are not allowed to wear top & they are supposed to wear Dhothi only , but in Bali what ever u wear above that u have to just wrap on the sarong.

  11. Very beautiful pictures. Thanks for telling us the Sarong part. I guess it has something similar with some temples in south India. The reason they say is, stitched cloth is not allowed. Since sarong or dhoti or lungi are not stitched, they're okay with it.
