Pura Meduwe Karang, Bali

Pura Meduwe Karang is a large Balinese temple located in Kubutambahan in northern Bali. It is noted for its flowery style of carvings that is characteristic of North Bali. Entering the temple is through a succession of split gates.

Within the inner courtyard is the main shrine, the Betara Luhur Ing Angkasa. It honors the "lord of the ground". On the side of the main shrine is a carving showing a Westerner on a bicycle. The person depicted is believed to be the Dutch artist W.O.J. Nieuwenkamp, who visited Pura Meduwe Karang in 1904.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
