Pura Maospahit, Hindu temple in Denpasar, Indonesia.

The red brick temple structure features five distinct mandalas, with the central jero area positioned as the principal sacred space in the complex.

Established in 1278 by regent Ki Kebo Iwa, the temple served as a vital religious center during the ancient Badung Kingdom period in Bali.

The temple performs two annual ceremonies during full moons, with thirty families maintaining the rituals and religious practices within the complex.

The third mandala contains kitchen facilities specifically designed for preparing offerings, while the fourth mandala displays sacred art during festivals.

Pura Maospahit remains the sole temple in Bali constructed with a Panca Mandala concept, placing its most sacred area in the center.
