Private Tour: Batuan Temple, Tegenungan Waterfall, Elepahant Cave Activity - Bali Travel Guide

Overview

Architectural Design of Gianyar Puseh Batuan Temple
Candi Bentar as the entrance gate of Puseh Temple looks dashing standing made of red bricks. Decorated by floral ornaments and curls of temple characteristics, making it more beautiful and unique. Candi Bentar as the gate is a barrier between Nista Mandala (Jaba sisi - the outer part of the temple) with Madya Mandala (Jaba Tengah - the central part of the temple).
Typically a temple building in general, there is also a statue of Dwarapala as a gate guard. But this Dwarapala statue in Paseh Temple is not like in general a giant statue of a temple gate guard. Usually Dwarapala is in a sitting position with one leg bent with a mace weapon, but here Dwarapala does not carry a weapon and is standing up.
