The Temple of the Lake Goddess at Bratan, in northern Bali, is one of Bali's most visited and most spiritually important temples. Dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of the waters, it is the focus of numerous ceremonies and pilgrimages to ensure supplies of water. A temple sits on the shore of the lake, but visitors cannot enter it. It's the multitiered thatch-roof shrines, or meru, perched on tiny islands just offshore that are best known.(Pura Ulun Danu Bratan)

I stumbled on your blog looking for more information on this temple after reading the compelling report about the rituals around it in: "Priests and Programmers", by J. Lansing. People who want to know more about Bali, or about the temple should read this!
But of course: you were already there, which is more than I can say... Maybe one time:)
