Pura Ulun Danu Batur

Currently located in the highest and oldest rim of the caldera, Pura Batur and the village of Batur were originally located down in the caldera at the foot of Mount Batur, an active volcano. A violent eruption in 1926 destroyed both the village and the temple, except for the most important shrine, an 11-tiered meru dedicated to Dewi Danu. “Ulun Danu” literally translates as “head of the lake”.
