destroyed both entirely, except for the most important 11-tiered structure which was left unscathed. The villagers then moved to the highest rim of the caldera, where they rebuilt their community and the temple, worshipping the goddess Dewi Danu for her blessing upon the lake and their surroundings.

Although less known than its neighboring Tanah Lot Temple for tourists and visitors, this ancient temple built in 14th century is considered as one of the regional ‘guardian’ of the island, specifically known as the source of prosperity in Tabanan agriculture.

There are several version regarding the background of Pura Luhur Pakendungan, but the most cited one said that it is related to a sacred

weapon named Ki Baru Gajah, which was given by holy priest Dang Hyang Dwijendra to Ki Bendesa Braban-a leader of tribal village, to help him fend off a powerful shaman named Ki Bhuta Babahung, which has been ransacking the village and killing some of its inhabitants. After the shaman has been killed, the weapon was said to keep inside Pakendungan temple.Nowadays, Pura Luhur Pakendungan serves as a place of worship on big Balinese Hindu celebration day and also as a protection shrine for ‘Subak’ irrigation system in Tabanan.

EFFEcTIVE STORagE: TIPS TO Pack-uP BaggagE duRIng hOlIday

We all have been suffering some luggage-related nightmare during our travel, from liquid leaking to overweight baggage. Here we provide you with some

interesting and simple tips to pack up belongings before you embark on your meaningful holiday.

TRIM DOWN THE USUALYes, we know you have lots of favorite outfits to wear, but remember, you’re

going for a laid back vacation, not apparel fashion show. Be ruthless. Lay all your most favorable (and comfortable) outfits on the bed or wide surface, choose

the top two of each and leave the third one at home. Wipe your tears; you’ll see them again eventually sooner or later.

WEAR THE HEAVIESTLet’s play a game of “how many clothes you can wear during your travel to

holiday destination”. Not only will you save space in your case, but also you'll save on baggage allowance. Consider it a light exercise before you’re off to relax

and leave behind all your daily activities. Pack up the lightest flip flop you own and wear your heaviest shoes. It is only temporary.

BREATHING SPACENo matter how hard you’d try not to buy anything during your holiday, sometime you just can’t help but bring home some of the cutest stuffs or souvenirs you’ve

ever seen, especially you can only find it at your holiday destination. To help with this (exciting) dilemma, consider leaving some extra spaces in your suitcase or

bag. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
