Book Synopsis Balinese Temples by : Julian Davison

Download or read book Balinese Temples written by Julian Davison and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich religious tradition and architecture of Bali are on display in this informative guidebook. Bali is an island with literally tens of thousands of temples, a proliferation of religious architecture probably not equaled anywhere else in the world. Each temple is like a model of the universe in miniature, reflecting Balinese assumptions about the nature of the universe and man's place in relation to the gods, the ancestors, and the rest of creation. This book is intended as a general introduction to the architectural symbolism of the typical Balinese temple and the cosmological significance of its layout. The informative text is complemented by dozens of watercolor illustrations and will provide a useful guide to many of the temples that the reader is likely to visit during a stay on the island.
