A video I found on YouTube showing the Mother Temple of Besakih in Bali. Filmed on June 4th, 2012. The temple is found on the slopes of Mt Agung in Eastern Bali and is the largest and holiest Balinese Hindu temple in Bali. When Mt Agung erupted in 1963 the lava flow missed the templ by a matter of meters, a sign to the Balinese that the gods were merely demonstrating their power but did not wish to destroy their temple.
