Bali - Part Three - Besakiah Temple / besakia_barong 3/12/01

TEMPLE ETTIQUETTE:

Also, women who are menstruating are foridden on temple ground. Not because they are unclean.

Perhaps because the blood gives them too much power. And that is something demons both good and bad can use if you are not in control of it at all times. Best to stay outside.

The timing for this trip to Besakiah was ciritical for me. I started my period on the drive home.
