Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, Hindu temple in Ubud, Indonesia.
This traditional Balinese Hindu temple features intricate stone carvings, multi-tiered shrines, and decorated gates representing cosmic principles and spiritual protection within the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary.
Built around 1350 during the Pejeng Dynasty, this ancient temple has undergone centuries of renovations while preserving its historical integrity and serving as one of the oldest religious sites in the Ubud region.
The temple serves as a vital spiritual center where local Balinese communities perform daily offerings, rituals, and communal prayers dedicated to Hyang Widhi in the form of Shiva during Hindu festivals and ceremonies.
The temple operates daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, requires modest dress including sarongs and scarves, and entrance is included with the Ubud Monkey Forest admission fee.
Sacred long-tailed macaques roam freely around the temple grounds, considered spiritual entities that create a rare environment where wildlife and religious worship coexist harmoniously in daily temple life.
