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.
