4. The Bratan volcanic complex is cut by a 11 x 6 km wide caldera (also known as Catur or Tjatur caldera or the Buyan-Bratan volcanic complex) in north-central Bali and contains three caldera lakes - Danau Tamblimgam, Danau Buyan, and Danau Bratan. Several post-caldera strato-volcanoes straddle its southern rim; the largest post-caldera cone, Batukau, is 10 km to the SW. The cones are well-formed, but covered with thick soils and vegetation; they are thought to have been inactive for hundreds or thousands of years. The largest post-caldera cone is Gunung Batukau (2276 m) Complexul vulcanic Bratan, cu un crater larg de 11 x 6 km, situat în nordul părţii centrale a insulei, cuprinde trei lacuri - Danau Tamblimgam, Danau Buyan, şi Danau Bratan. Se văd mai mulţi stratovulcani formaţi postcaldera (Caldera înseamna depresiune creată de o erupţie vulcanică) cu conurile bine formate, dar acoperite cu vegetaţie, inactive timp de sute sau mii de ani. Cel mai mare con post-caldera este Gunung Batukau (2276 m)

11. The tropical trees are fertile growing in this forest that makes it an ideal habitat of monkeys and other animals. All monkeys living in this forest are chummy and tame with human being. Contribuind la fertilitatea mare a solului de natură vulcanică, copacii fac din această pădure tropicală un habitat ideal pentru maimuţe şi alte animale. Toate maimuţele care trăiesc în această pădure sunt deosebit de prietenoase şi blânde

14. The lake Bratan is 1200 meters above sea level which makes the temperature nice and cool. Ulun Danu temple is one of the most popular tour visit. The location is on the west bank of lake Bratan. The name Ulun Danu, literally means “the beginning of the lake" But this might not to claim that the site is the beginning of a lake. It tends to indicate that everything that exists around the lake will have the orientation to the temple site, and cleanliness around the area must be continuously kept. Altitudinea de 1200 m a lacului Bratan asigură o răcoare plăcută. Complexul de temple Ulun Danu situat pe malul vestic al lacului este o destinaţie turistică majoră. Numele Ulun Danu, literalmente înseamnă „începutul lacului" indicând faptul că tot ceea ce există în jurul lacului va avea orientarea spre templu iar curăţenia în jurul zonei trebuie să fie în permanenţă păstrată.

16. The whole complex is consist of 4 units each dedicated to spirit of Lingga Petak, and shrines to worship god. Întregul complex Ulun Danu de pe malul lacului Bratan este format din patru temple distincte, fiecare dedicat spiritului lui Lingga Petak, şi având altare dedicate zeilor

17. Unlike the common towering indoor Indian Hindu temple, puras are designed as an open air place of worship within enclosed walls, connected with a series of intricately decorated gates between its compounds. Spre deosebire de fastuoasele interioare ale templelor hinduse indiene, pura (templul balinez) este conceput ca un loc de cult în aer liber, în interiorul unor incinte închise cu ziduri, incinte legate între ele printr-o serie de porţi admirabil decorate

19. Shrines of Teratai Bang It is also called Pura Penataran Agung. This complex is consist of 3 yards as the common structure of temple in Bali. Here 22 shrines and pavilions standing for various dedication. From the name of spirits worshipped here there are very clear the mixed spirits between ancestor's spirits and the worship of the god power. Situat pe malul lacului, Templul Teratai Bang, cunoscut şi sub numele de Pura Penataran Agung, este un complex format din trei incinte, conform structurii tipice a templelor din Bali şi cuprinde 22 de altare si pavilioane cu consacrări diferite. Chiar şi din numele zeităţilor cărora le sunt închinate ne dăm seama de amestecul între spiritele strămoşilor şi cele ale zeilor.

20. This walled compounds contains several shrines, meru (towers), and bale (pavilions). In the middle zone of the temple, where the activity of adherents takes place, several pavilions are built, such as the bale kulkul (wooden Slit drum tower), bale gong (gamelan pavilion), Incintele împrejmuite ale Templului Teratai Bang, (cunoscut şi sub numele de Pura Penataran Agung), cuprind mai multe altare, respectiv Meru (pagode-turn), şi Bale(pavilioane). În zona de mijloc a templului (a doua curte), unde se desfăşoarăactivităţile adepţilor, au fost construite mai multe pavilioane, cum ar fi Bale Kulkul (pavilionul adăpostind toba cu rol de clopotniţă) sau Bale gong (pavilionul pentru orchestră – gamelan)

22. A gamelan is a musical ensemble from Indonesia, typically from the islands of Bali or Java, featuring a variety of instruments such as metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs; bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings. Vocalists may also be included. The term refers more to the set of instruments than to the players of those instruments. A gamelan is a set of instruments as a distinct entity, built and tuned to stay together — instruments from different gamelan are generally not interchangeable. Cuvântul Gamelan defineşte orchestrele tradiţionale din Indonezia. În general cea mai mare parte a instrumentelor din componenţa lor sunt instrumente de percuţie precum cele asemănătoare xilofonului/marimbafonului sau vibrafonului. Uneori în componenţa acestor orchestre se găsesc şi cântăreţi

24. Garden in the middle enclosure, with the bale kulkul, or drum tower, where the ceremonial drum to call worshippers is kept. Local ritual leaders consider that the main shrine is the 7-roofed meru as the abode of god Brahma. Curtea din incinta de mijloc a Templului Teratai Bang, (cunoscut şi sub numele de Pura Penataran Agung), cu bale Kulkul (pavilionul în care se păstrează toba de ceremonie cu care sunt chemaţi credincioşii) Liderii religioşi locali consideră că altarul principal este Meru cu şapte acoperişuri suprapuse ridicat pentru adorarea şi slăvirea lui Brahma.

31. The existence of Ulun Danu Temple reminds that The Balinese Hindu live tolerantly with other people outside of Hindu like Buddha. It is signified by the existence of Buddhist Temple located outside of temple area. This temple building look very beautiful with Buddha Monk Statues put surround the temple. Existenţa unui Templu budist situat chiar în apropierea Templului Ulun Danu confirmă toleranţa balinezilor faţă de alte religii. Statui de călugări budişti decorează micuţa stupă

32. Kumbakarna Laga Statue is located in Eka Karya Botanical Garden, Bedugul,. This thing is HUGE – the 3-story high statue depicts Kumbakarna Laga in the fight against the monkey army in the Hindu Ramayana epic.

35. Kumbhakarna is a rakshasa, a demon, the brother of Ravana. He plays a part in the RAMAYANA story and he is burned yearly in effigy during the Ramlila celebration, when the victory of Lord RAMA over the evil demons is remembered.    The story goes that Kumbhakarna was a very powerful demon, and naturally strong. Other demons, rakshasas, acquired their powers as the result of austerities and boons, but he alone had the natural power to kill any god, man, or being. Once Kumbakarna was besting INDRA, the king of the gods himself, in battle. Indra, along with other gods, RISHIS, and various beings went to BRAHMA to ask for aid. Brahma cursed Kumbhakarna at that moment, to sleep forever. Ravana, his brother, pleaded with Brahma to soften his curse and Brahma then cursed him to sleep for six months at a time, after which he would voraciously eat for one day, and then would go back to sleep again. This curse was meant to hold him in control so that he would not conquer all the worlds.    In the RAMAYANA, when the rakshasas have begun their war with RAMA, Lakshmana, and the monkeys, there is a rather humorous scene that takes place when Ravana tries forcibly to wake Kumbhakarna to fight. They beat him and scrape him in every way; they have elephants drag him; they beat a thousand drums; and so on, but Kumbhakarna continues to snore. Finally, hit with trees and doused by thousands of pitchers of water, Kumbharakarna awakes. This done, he is asked to fight and agrees, but first he must be fed vast wagon loads of food, which he takes whole into his voracious mouth. His endless hunger sated, he goes into battle. After wreaking havoc, he eventually is slain by Lord Rama himself. Kumbhakarna was considered a giant, and said to be 420,000 meters tall. Despite of his monstrous size and great hunger, he was somewhat described of having a good character, though he killed and ate many Hindu monks to show his power only. When he asked for a boon (blessing) from Brahma, his tongue was tied by goddess Saraswati. So instead of asking "Indraasan" (seat of Indra), he asked for "Neendrasan" (bed for sleeping). His request was granted. But his brother Ravana asked Brahma to undo this boon as it was in reality a curse. So Kumbhakarna slept for six months and then woke for one day only to fall asleep for another six months. However, when he woke up, he ate everything in the vicinity, including humans. He devastated Rama's army, injured Hanuman, and knocked Sugriva unconscious and took him as a prisoner but was killed by Rama.
