Project 365 – 050 – Banyan Tree Roots

Another shot from the Ubud Monkey Forest, this time of the hanging roots of a sacred banyan tree.

The presence of sacred forest is a demonstration of the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature. In Bali, sanctuaries such as the Monkey Forest are usually in sacred village areas, often surrounded by temples. These cultural sanctuaries are not only an important part of Balinese heritage, but also an important part of everyday live. Temple festivals are regularly held for the villagers and the gods in such areas.
