Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a famous Hindu water temple located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the highlands of Bali, within the mountain region of Indonesia. Built in the 17th century, the temple is dedicated to the water goddess Dewi Danu and plays an important role in the island’s traditional irrigation and agricultural system.

Set against a backdrop of misty mountains and cool highland air, the temple appears to float on the lake when water levels rise, creating a calm and almost mystical atmosphere. Its multi-tiered shrines, traditional Balinese architecture, and carefully maintained gardens reflect the spiritual and cultural importance of water in Balinese Hinduism. The surrounding landscape, often shrouded in morning fog, adds to its serene and picturesque setting.

Today, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is both an active place of worship and one of Bali’s most visited cultural attractions. It draws visitors for its scenic beauty, photography opportunities, and insight into local religious traditions. The combination of lake, mountains, and temple architecture makes it one of the most recognisable and peaceful landmarks in central Bali.
