Buddha Temple
 perched on a slope of a hill, Brahmavira Arama Buddhist Temple and 
Monastery rise majestically overlooking a sea with lush green hill as a 
background. Precisely, the Monastery is located in Tegehe hamlet, the 
village of Banjar, near Lovina, in Buleleng Regency. This monastery is 
not a tourist attraction, the monastery still serves as place for 
praying, worshipping and meditating for the Buddhist communities in 
North Bali. Everyday, you can find some worshipper come to pay homage in
 the monastery, but the peak of the visitors is on the holy Vaisak day, 
in which most Buddhist in north Bali come to this monastery to celebrate
 the Vaisak. 
Brahmavira
 Arama Monastery is a terraced temple complex in which each level has 
its own structures. Each structure is adorned with exuberant Balinese 
woodcarvings which show the assimilation of Balinese culture into the 
architecture of the monastery. On the highest level of the complex you 
can find a miniature version of Borobudur (biggest Buddhist Temple). 
This monastery also boasts of a huge temple bell donated from Thailand, 
panels depicting Buddha Fables, and Buddha Sculpture. And of course 
monastery has a few praying rooms with golden Buddha’s statues, you can 
also find several Buddha statues in the garden. 
Once 
again, this Buddhist is not a tourist attraction, entrance is free, but 
if you want to make a donation please do not hesitate. You can also 
borrow sarongs you may need to enter the temple for free.
