They call Bali ' the land of a thousand temples' because each family has their own, then, each neighborhood has IT'S own, the each village has it's own, and finally the island has their own big ones. It depends on the formality of event wh
ich temple you go to. As nearly as I can figure, the family temples are used daily, I've got no idea about the neighborhood temples, the village temples are used for village ceremonies about weekly (like Christians would do on Sundays only the Balinese calendar doesn't use lunar or solar timetable, so 'weekly' doesn't apply). The big island temples, like Pura Besakih, are used for big pilgrimages and life-time events like that. Are you even more confused now? =)
