Ever wondered what it’s like actually to visit The Gates Of Heaven in Bali? Chances are if you’re going to Bali, this will be on your list of things to see and do. Most people want to visit The Gates Of Heaven to get the epic shot between the Candi Bentar - the gate. The Candi Bentar is a split gateway seen in almost all Balinese entrances of religious compounds. These gateways usually have stairs to reach the center in the middle. The two sides represent the Balinese concept of duality and the importance of maintaining a balance between dark and light forces.
While you will see Candi Bentars everywhere in Bali, however, The Gates Of Heaven at Lempuyang Temple is by far the most famous. Instagram has made this location even more famous as people seek a photograph that looks as if the Gates of Heaven float on a clear body of water, giving a reflective shot that looks like the gates are floating. Most people do not know that there is no water, and most people do not know that there's a process to attempt this photoshoot.
