A Pura is a Balinese
Hindu temple and the place of worship for the adherents of Balinese Hinduism in
Indonesia. Most of the puras are found on the island of Bali, as Hinduism is
the predominant religion in the island; however many puras exist in other parts
of Indonesia where there are significant numbers of Balinese people. Mother
Temple of Besakih is the most important, the largest and holiest temple in Bali. A large number of
puras have been built in Bali, leading it to gain the nickname "the Island
of a Thousand Puras". Source
