Pura Semuan Tiga, an important local temple in the Ubud suburb of Bedulu (see map), was in the midst of celebrating its odalan, or anniversary. All temples celebrate their anniversary according to Bali's traditional 210-day calendar. For nearly two weeks, local Balinese villagers would stream in by the thousands each day to bring offerings and pray, enjoying gamelan music, dances and cockfights in between.
