To the people of the island paradise, Mount Agung carries a huge spiritual significance. It is believed by the Balinese that Mount Agung is a replica of Mount Meru, the central spiritual axis of the universe. There is even one legend that says the mountain is a fragment of Meru which is said to have been brought to Bali by the first Hindus. Another Balinese legend also says that Agung Bali was created as the result of the splitting of Mount Meru by the Hindu God Pasupati, thus forming Mount Agung with a fragment.
Mount Agung holds the most important temple on Bali, the 'Mother Temple' of Pura Besakih, which is located high on its slopes. Forming the part of a chain of volcanoes that make up the back bone of Bali with its last eruption in 1963-1964, Mount Agung is still active, and describe as having a large and very deep crater which occasionally belches smoke and ash.
From a distance, the mountain can be seen appearing to be perfectly conical, despite the existence of the large crater. From the peak of the mountain, the peak of Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok can possibly be seen, although both mountains are frequently covered in clouds.
