The Candi bentar gate to the Pura Ulun Danu Temple complex

A big tree stands beside the entrance way to the temple complex. The words in Balinese often are written in different ways like "Bratan Lake" or "Lake Beratan". Most common is the notation like "Bratan".
The name of Ulun Danu Bratan Temple is taken from the lake where the temple is built at Bratan Lake. The name of Bratan Lake is inseparable with the Bratan Mount as Deity and Goddess as fertility source, prosperity to keep the prosperity in life and society life. In papyrus chronicle of the Mengwi, this temple is referred as the name of Parhyangan ri pinggiring danu Bratan (sanctum located in lakeside of Bratan Lake ). Ulun is come from Hulu word meaning head or power and in this case is intended by Ulun Danu Bratan means power of Bratan Lake that is Danu Goddess.
