Balinese Temple Architecture

A Balinese Temple is a holy enclosure where Hindu deities are periodically invited to descend into "pratima" (effigies) kept in shrines.
During "odalan" (festivals), temples are alive with music, dance and offerings. Otherwise they are rather quiet.

Temples include the "kayangan tiga" (the three village temples), clan temples, market temples, irrigation temples, temples to nature deities, and state temples of former kingdoms.
Temples are ussualy open to visitor during daylight hours.
