Mount Agung
Mount Agung (Gunung Agung) is the most sacred mountain in Bali. This volcano, the highest point on the island, last erupted in 1963-1964 and the lava flows missed, sometimes by mere yards, the Mother Temple of Besakih, which is located on the slopes of this important mountain. The saving of the temple is regarded by the Balinese people as miraculous and a signal from the gods that they wished to demonstrate their power but not destroy the monument the Balinese faithful had erected. However, over 1,000 people were killed and a number of villages were destroyed in this eruption.
