This picture shows a beautiful part of a Balinese water temple, surrounded by the clear blue water of the pond, where brightly coloured carp swim. Water temples play a crucial role in Bali's culture and spirituality. They are not only places of worship, but also symbols of the balance between man and nature. In Bali, these temples are often part of the traditional subak system, an ancient irrigation system managed by local communities.
