Luhur Besikalung Temple, located in Penebel Tabanan, is a unique and fascinating temple that is worth a visit. One of its standout features is a Linga Yoni with a chainlike necklace that actually makes a gong sound when struck. How cool is that? The temple gets its name from this necklace, as "besi" means steel in Indonesian. According to local beliefs, if the Linga Yoni tilts to one side, it's a sign of an impending national disaster. So, besides being a beautiful place to explore, it also holds some mystical significance.
