Description: |
|
Pura Meduwe Karang was constructed in 1890 by people who arrived
to Kubutambahan from an extinct Balinese village of Bulian. The
temple is dedicated to Batara Meduwe Karang, a god which offers
protection on the fertility of the agricultural land. Pura
Meduwe Karang also has shrines dedicated to the sun god Surya
and to Mother Earth, all related with the concept of protection
of the land's fertility. The temple compound is surrounded with
walls, which is reinforced at intervals by pillars topped with
carved floral decoration.
On the side of the main shrine is a
depiction of a westerner riding a bicycle. The relief is a
depiction of Dutch artist W.O.J. Nieuwenkamp who explored Bali
with his bicycle in 1904. This is not the only depiction of a
westerner in a Balinese temple. |
