This is Pura Lempuyang Luhur, one of the oldest and most revered temples in Bali. It is at the top of 1,700 steps; it is believed that the hike to the top is a spiritual journey, and that one should not complain during the journey lest they taint the experience.
In the temple's sacred inner courtyard, the priests grow yellow bamboo in small shrubs. From cuttings of these shrubs, they make holy water, and administer it to the locals, who believe it to have healing properties.
