Taman Ayun Temple

Holiday Resolution


Taman Ayun Temple is a very large complex, located in Mengwi, Badung, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia.

Taman Ayun was built in 1634 by the King of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Putu. This temple is bordered by a wide river that irrigates the rice fields around the site. This temple is dedicated to the ancestral kingdom of Mengwi and other important gods. Taman Ayun Temple is considered a "Temple Center" for the Kingdom of Mengwi.

The most sacred part of the temple is Jaba Jero. This place has three gates. The gate in the center only opened when the activities carried out religious ceremonies. This door serves as the exit and entrance to the sacred statues and other sacred instruments for ceremonial activities. Two other doors on the right and left side for everyday use. On this page are some of Meru in various shapes and sizes.
