Description: |
|
Pura Kehen is the state temple of the kingdom of Bangli. It's
the biggest temple in East Bali and is often referred to as a
miniature version of Besakih, the "Mother Temple" located on the
slopes of Mount Agung.
Built in the 11th century, the temple
features eight terraces. 38 stairs lead up to a beautifully
decorated entrance which opens onto the first courtyard, where a
massive banyan tree over 700 years old stands guard.
The
inner courtyard boasts an 11-roof meru (a shrine with many
tiers) as well as shrines with thrones for Brahma, Shiva and
Vishnu, the all-important Hindu trinity.
Every three years in
November (Rabu Kliwan Shinta in the Balinese calendar), at the
time of purnama or full moon, a major ceremony known as Ngusabha
is held at the temple. |
