BATUR TEMPLE, which is more familiar with the name Ulun Danu Temple for the Balinese nestles 900 meters above sea level. It is located precisely in Kalanganyar Village, Kintamani District, on the right side of the main road Denpasar-Singaraja, from the South.
It faces West with Mount Batur and its solid black lavas as the backdrop, and Lake Batur at the foot of the mountain makes the beauty complete for the temple.
Beforehand, the temple was located at the southwestern slope of Mount Batur. The great eruption of Mount Batur in 1917 had destroyed everything, including the temple, except one, the highest God's shrine. Then due to the initiative og village chief along with other village prominent figures, they decided to bring the remaining shrine to be built again on a higher ground, at the present place.
The ceremony at this temple is held annually called Ngusaba Kadasa..
