Pura Goa Lawah, the Bat Cave Temple, is located along the coast of southeastern Bali just west of Candidasa (see map). The center of the temple is built around a cave filled with thousands of bats. We visited the temple during a full moon festival; thousands of pilgrims were present, praying and making offerings. After the ceremonies, the pilgrims climbed into a caravan of buses and headed up Mt. Agung to continue the festivities at Pura Besakih, Bali's holiest temple.
