The 10th Full Moon is considered highly significant amongst Balinese Hindus and is observed with festivals in major temples around the island. The mother temple Besakih, located on the slopes of sacred Mount Agung, holds a special ceremony known as Ida Betara Turun Kabeh. Devotees invite deities and other important ancestors to descend to the temple where they receive blessings in what is one of the most elaborate Hindu rituals you will see in Karangasem regency, just one hour’s drive from Villa Idanna.
