Description

The name Ulun Danu, literally means "the beginning of the lake" but this might not to claim that the site is the beginning of a lake. It tends to indicate that everything that exists around the lake will have the orientation to the temple site, and cleanliness around the area must be continuously kept.
On the shore of the lake are two multi-tiered merus. The bigger, 11-tier meru is the abode of the god of Gunung Mangu. Gunung Mangu is said to be the abode of Wisnu, hence the meru is dedicated to Wisnu. The other shrine is that of Lingga Petak. It is smaller and further away in the lake. This shrine, with a three-tier meru, dedicated to Shiva.
Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is consist of 4 units each dedicated to spirit of Lingga Petak, and temporary abode gods. It looks that the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple symbolizes the nature of surrounding as the respects of nature greatness, since the location is surrounded by peaks of Bali mountain chain such as the east is Mt. Mangu, to the south is Mt. Teratai Bang, and to the west is Mt. Pohan.
