Because the lava stopped before reaching the temple, the Balinese people saw this as a good omen and decided to stay in the area.

[3] On April 21, 1926, Mount Batur erupted again, this time devastating the entire village of Karang Anyar.

With the area surrounding Mount Batur declared uninhabitable during the eruption period, the villagers of Kalang Anyar had to relocate.

The relocation process was helped by villagers from the surrounding area e.g. Desa Bayung, Tunggiran, Kedisan, Buanan, and Sekardadi.

After several months, the area surrounding Mount Batur was declared safe, and the village rebuilding program could start immediately.

With the completion of the houses and basic infrastructure, the Bangli regional government collected another fund to build a new temple, the present Pura Ulun Danu Batur.

[5] Pura Batur comprises nine different temples, containing in total of 285 shrines and pavilions dedicated to the gods and goddesses of water, agriculture, holy springs, art, crafts, and more.

The odalan (main feast) of Pura Ulun Danu Batur takes place on the 10th full moon in a year (Purnama of Sasih Kedasa) according to the Balinese calendar, which usually falls in late March to early April.
