The morning blend combined with Balinese gising and the smell of incense became a perfect welcome when entering the entrance to Ulun Danu Bratan tourist area.

The charm and beauty of the noble temple that has a meru (roof) for eleven passengers seemed to be timeless by the turn of the times and turnaround time. No wonder his name is so famous to various parts of the world. According to information, Pura Ulun Danu Bratan (Ulun Danu Bratan Temple) is one of the largest water temples on the island of Bali. The temple that stands beautiful on Lake Bratan is actually functioned for the worship ceremony for Dewi Danu or in Balinese language means Goddess of Lake and Goddess of Water in the belief of Hindu Bali. In addition to being a shrine to the practice of worship rituals to the goddess and gods, this temple was also the site of the Melasti ceremony held a day before Hari Raya Nyepi.
Based on historical records contained in the books of Babad Mengwi, Pura Ulun Danu Bratan has existed since 500 years BC or in the Balinese megalithic era.
