•A Pura Kahyanganis a purathat is built higher up on the side of the volcano. The most spiritually powerful one in Bali is Besakih.
•From the standpoint of ritual efficacy, Balinese need to worship the god of Besakihin order to make sure that the volcano stays peaceful. Otherwise, it could erupt and cause terrible damage.
•We have already seen this kind of ritual practice in Java, where Hindu temples were built in ancient times to keep the volcanoes in a peaceful state.
•So Besakihis an example of the continuation of animistic practices in the present within the framework of Hinduism.
