Meru towers with eleven tiers

The pagoda liked Meru tower with eleven roofs is dedicated to god Shiva and his consort Parvathi.
Meru towers have either 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11 tiers – a sequence of numbers considered sacred not just in Bali but in cultures throughout the world. It’s said that a Balinese temple’s importance can more or less be determined by the height of its highest meru.
A number of meru towers in different tiers height are a must to visit at Pura Taman Ayun where I captured this photo nearby my home place in Mengwi on Bali.
