Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, Ubud

Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal


Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal is said to be the most frightening temples in Bali. It is the Great Temple of Death, and it is located in the equally well-named Sacred Monkey Forest, in Padangtegal, Ubud, in Central Bali. In keeping with its name, the temple has some frightening carvings such as vampire children with fangs. But apart from that, to the visitor, it is another of the beautifully ornate temples of Bali.

Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal dates back to the 14th century. It is dedicated to the goddess of death, Durga, who also takes on the form of the witch-monster Rangda, as appearing in the Barong performances.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
