Batur Bali
In 1926, during the violent eruption of Mt. Batur, the original village of Batur, at the southern foot of the mountain, was totally destroyed. The villagers, unharmed but homeless, moved up onto the high ridge overlooking their original home, and began the task of rebuilding their temple, Pura Ulun Danu. Work on this temple is still underway, and they are creating one of the most impressive temples on the island. Its stark meru towers stand out against the backdrop of the smoking volcano.
