Pura Parahyangan Agung Jagatkarta, Balinese temple on Mount Salak slopes in Ciapus, Indonesia.

The Pura Parahyangan Agung Jagatkarta temple rises across three ascending courtyards on the northern slopes of Mount Salak at 780 meters elevation.

The temple site holds historical importance as the location where King Siliwangi of Pakuan Pajajaran kingdom established his capital in the 15th century.

The temple functions as a Pura Kahyangan Jagad, serving Hindu devotees from Greater Jakarta who come to honor deified ancestral spirits through ceremonies.

Visitors need to park their vehicles at designated areas below the temple and climb steep stairs while wearing traditional sarongs and sashes for access.

The temple features a black and white tiger statue representing King Siliwangi, marking the connection between Balinese Hinduism and Sundanese royal heritage.
