Indonesia: Lovina, Banja Hill, Brahma Vihara Arama
Brahma Vihara-Arama known more as "Banjar Buddhist Temple" is the biggest Buddhist temple in Bali. It is located on a hill at Banjar Tegeha village, district of Banjar with serene and peaceful surrounding over viewing Lovina Beach. A split-level monastery, its unique feature is on the very top - a replica (albeit small version) of the sacred Borobudur Bhuddist Temple. There are 4 entrances, North, South, East and West with each Buddha welcoming you into the temple. It reminds me of the 4 Face Buddha without joining the body. Each Buddha illustrate different mudra.
It has elements of Balinese Hinduism which include a Balinese Hindu kulkul (wooden bell) tower.
Visitors should wear a sarong or long pants. Donations accepted.
