Who doesn't know Bali? Bali is the most destination in Indonesian tourism. Has so many beautiful beach and other spots, with high local value. Mayority, Bali peoples religion is Hindu. One of biggest and the great temple is Besakih temple. Besakih is known as the ‘Mother Temple’ in Bali, the largest and most important temple on the island. The Besakih Temple is located in The Besakih village, 900 meters up to the slopes of Gunung Agung.
There are many manuscripts mention about establishment, rituals, and the status of Besakih. At one of the temple complex is preserved a manuscript mentions Sri Wira Kesari, and the area was part of his palace. We do not have prove that relate Sri Wira Kesari with the king mention by stone pillar inscription of Sanur. It is true that the king mentioned by the inscription in Sanur named Sri Kesari Warmadewa, from 9th century.
This temple complexes is a real valuable heritage for Balinese not just the value of religious activity, but have built up the solidity and close affinity among Balinese Hindu, although in the past was broken into more than 9 small kingdoms. Until now these small kingdoms was maintained by Indonesian government by forming a local government based on the area of kingdom in the past. That is why Bali now is divided into 8 local government in the level of second under provincial administration. Although in fact one aspect has been made so complicated that is rituals aspects. Furthermore the purana associate natural changes with the incompleteness of the rituals aspects, or any shortcoming in elements of offerings, it is actually Besakih is most famous for their ritual compared to their architecture and historical values.
