The temple is believed to built around AD 1020. The temple is easily accessible from all parts of Bali. The temple is built around the "Trimurti" concept of Hindu mythology. The main deity in this temple is Vishnu. Once you enter the temple, you feel as if you are thrown back in time. The sculptures, the ambience and the mere atmosphere is enough for you to walk through a time which is three hundred years back. Everything is built using Red bricks, lava stones and wood and the roofing is done with bamboo leaves. The temple has been destroyed many times by earth quakes and every time they renovated it with a perfection which is the most wonderful quality of Balinese architecture. You have to get the "Sarong" from the Temple auditorium which is opposite to the temple entrance. You have to give some donation to the temple, but is not mandatory. It is good you give some donation, as it forms the spine of keeping these temple still intact.
Great temple! You must wear a sarong to get in. This will cost you Rp20,000 per person. Do not buy drinks from the stalls around the temple as you will get ripped off. On a personal note to women, only once you are there are you told that it is 'forbidden' for women to go into the temple 'at that time of the month!' I hope that this has been helpful.
Great temple to see near ubud. The entrance donation at the time was 20,000 rupiahs. The ground are well kept.
Very beautiful! We did this excursions with Bali4U. The entrance fee is a donation and is not mandatory. Many of the guides are more than happy to explain the history.
This was an awesome experience. A must see when in Bali. A tranquil place to take a moment to reflect. I will definitely go back there.
