THE
EAST : Gunung Agung |
|
According to legend, Gunung
Agung was created by the god Pasupati when
he split Mount Mahameru (the center of the Hindu
universe), forming both Gunung Agung and Gunung
Batur. At 3014m, the superb conical-shaped Agung
is the highest Balinese peak and an awe-inspiring
sight from anywhere in East Bali. The spritual
center of the Balinese universe, it is believed
that the spirits of the ancestors of the Balinese
people dwell on Gunung Agung. Villages and house
compounds are laid out in relation to the mountain,
and many Balinese people prefer to sleep with
their heads towards it. Directions on Bali are
always given with reference to Agung: kaja meaning towards the mountain and kelod meaning away from it.
