Bali: Pura Dalem Laplapan, the Kingdom of Gods

Address: F7VH+9MF, Petulu, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80552 Indonesia
Atmosphere/Facilities: Bali's residents practice a unique form of Hinduism called Balinese Hinduism, which combines elements of Hinduism, Buddhism, and indigenous Balinese traditional religions. This time when I came to Bali, I found that there were ceremonies almost every day during this season. The originally gray temple looks brand new after careful renovation. Villagers also dress up (in traditional clothing) to participate in the sacrifice.

Balinese Hinduism emphasizes the worship of gods, including the chief deity Shiva and the creator god Brahma. They believe that there is a divine power in life, so every place in Bali is filled with temples and rituals. Locals make offerings and sacrifices to the gods every day and hold various religious ceremonies to celebrate important festivals.

Balinese traditional beliefs permeate the daily lives of local residents, influencing their culture, art, music, dance and festivals. This deep religious belief also attracts many tourists to Bali to experience its unique culture and traditions.

It is said that in August, there will be the largest royal sacrifice in Ubud, which is worth looking forward to.

Features: Traditional costumes, Balinese-style Hinduism, and beautiful temples
Price per person: Free, but it is not recommended to enter the temple because you need to wear a salon and there are many strict rules. We only shot outside the door.
