01 JUL 2011 FRI - BALI - 2. Brahma Vihara Arama (Small Borobudur)

Brahma Vihara Arama, Bali's largest Buddhist monastery located near the village of Dencarik. The monastery is absolutely charming and commands lovely views. Whilst obviously Buddhist with its orange roof, numerous gold Buddhas and stupas recalling those at Borobudur, the carvings and ornamentation are very Balinese.

aka Vihara Buddha Banjar, this is located at a hilly area at Tegehe Village, about 11 km from tourist spot Lovina. Due to its location in a hilly area, Brahma Vihara Arama has a silent and peaceful atmosphere and it’s perfect as a spiritual area.
