  Entrance to temple

Pura Lahur Batukau is known as the garden temple. It sits at the foot of Gurung Baatukau, the second highest peak in Bali.

The temple is very important to the Balinese because of its geographical position.

The fact that Pura Luhur Batukau is an important temple is further stressed by the set of directions visitors are given.

I hope they don't consider us ' mad gentleman/ladies.'

The first thing I noticed were the male and female figures guarding the main gate, you see this all over and its repeated inside the temple. I think it means the male and female forces in the world are kept in balance.

There are 20,000 temples on Bali and this is one of the best examples of an untouristy one.
