Day 2: From Bukit Jambul to Pura Besakih
Wooaaahh.... Now that SK1968 starts to crank up his engine and start posting all his photos, it is my turn to catch up with him instead.
Here we go then...
Bukit Jambul is a short stop.
Our the other highlight for the day is actually Pura Besakih, the biggest Temple complex in Bali.
Now this one is a real touristy one.
Full of tourist, in addition to local Balinese.
It's our lucky day today for there is some celebration going on and lots of local Balinese devotees are heading towards Besakih for their prayers and offerings.

Pura Besakih
Pura Besakih is the biggest temple complex in Bali.
What 'temple complex' means is simply, within this big compound of Besakih, there are 30 odd temples of various sizes and various ages.
The biggest temple here is the Pura penataran agung, devoted to the Hindu God Vishnu.
It was founded by the high priest Dang Hyang Markendya in the 8th century.
Over the years, gradually more temples are built around it, each with its devotion to various Hindu Gods, until Besakih finally attained its current size.
Social Caste System of Bali
As I spoke with Agung, I began to understand that being highly influenced by the old Indian civilisation,
the Indian caste system was naturally transcribed over to the Balinese society.
Thus, Balinese are classified into a similar system consisting of, in descending order:
Agung our guide is a Kshatryia. And as we walked passed a temple, he pointed it out that this is a Kshatryia temple for the Kshatryia clan and he went in to made his prayer.
Agung later explained that if one is of a certain caste, he or she would not want to pray in any other caste's temple, nor would the temple's in charge want them to pray there.
Interesting. This is something new that I have learned.
There are, however, many so-designated State Temples that are opened to all to pray.
And temples like Pura Uluwatu, Pura Tanah Lot, Pura Penetaran Agung are some of these State Temples.
Some points to note visiting Pura Besakih
Besakih, like all other Balinese temples, requires visitors to wear a sarong before entering.
But unlike many other temples, sarong is not provided free.
Thus it is highly recommended that the visitor brings his/her own sarong from home in order not to have to pay sky-high prices for sarong sold at the door-step.
The tour vehicles cannot drive up to the main entrance of Besakih.
And the visitor needs to walk about 1 km up a slight elevation.
Here is just a record shot to help all of us remember this part, where we were originally inundated by calls from motorcyclists around us offering to give us a lift to the entrance for 'just US$1'.

And for the usual reasons, once we arrived at Besakih, the sky began to darken and storm clouds began to gather.
Looming ahead, the rain threatened to give us a run for our money.

The sky is cloudy and dark and all my pictures turned out to be like silhouette like that. This candi bentar is funny because we walked all the way up then when we wanted to enter we got chased out say non-worshipper cannot enter.
