Bali Batuan Temple is a rural Balinese Hindu temple that is maintained by the Batuan countryside residents. The temple is beautifully constructed, with many Balinese ornamentation, and the roof temple structure is formed of multicolored black palm tree fiber which makes it a must to include in your, Bali vacation packages. It is conveniently situated alongside the main route between Denpasar and Ubud. Batuan has been a community of artists and craftsmen, old traditions, and strange tales for over a thousand years.
Also known as the Pura Puseh Batuan Temple, it was established in the first century, and follows the concept of Tri Murti worship. The temple complex comprises three temples: The Desa Temple for Lord Brahma, the Puseh Temple for Lord Vishnu, and the Dalem Temple for Lord Shiva. A long gong made of wood or bamboo, called Bale Agung, is located in the temple's center yard. The Kori Agung, a towering entry Balinese Gate flanked by several guardian statues fashioning the huge sculpture, is also located in this yard. Kori Agung's duty is to serve as the entrance and exit point for the gods, which is symbolized by a tiny statue known as Pratima.
There are two little doors next to the Kori Agung that serve as gateways into the temple courtyard. The courtyard holds the Padmasana, or a temple to Bali's only Hindu god, San Hyang Widhi, along with traditional symbols and edifices dedicated to the temple of Besakih. On some days, the local artisans of Batuan display their handiwork at the temple grounds as well.
