Temple on the Lake Goddess

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.
