Pura Jagatnatha, Denpasar

Pura Jagatnatha is a Balinese temple in Denpasar, Bali. It was built in 1970 for the worship of Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, the supreme god of the Balinese Hindu pantheon (an avatar to the Hindu god Vishnu). The name of the temple means "Temple of the Lord of the Universe". The temple has a very tall padmasana, the seven-tier "lotus throne" of limestone on which the god is seated.

Pura Jagatnatha is located next to the Bali Museum, and across from Taman Puputan. It gets crowded with devotees on days of full moon and new moon, as well as on Kajeng Kliwon, a feast day that occurs every 15 days on the Balinese calendar.

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.
