The holiest religious site in Bali for over 1000 years is the Pura Besakih Hindu temple complex on the slopes of Mount Agung, called the Mother Temple. The tradition of carrying religious offerings to the top of Pura Penataran Agung, the holiest of the temples in the complex continues to this day. Whole families walk up the mountains to the upper terraces carrying intricate arrangements of fruit and flowers with palm leaf decorations, dressed in traditional attire with a dominant white colour.
