History & significance

A large north Balinese temple raised in 1890 by villagers who had resettled at Kubutambahan from the abandoned village of Bulian, addressed to the deity who owns the ground and petitioned for the fertility of unirrigated farmland. Its outer terrace carries thirty-six stone figures from the Ramayana and its walls the flowery relief carving typical of the north coast.
