Pura Parahyangan Agung Jagatkarta

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

Pura Parahyangan Agung Jagatkarta is a Balinese temple located on the northern slopes of Mount Salak at approximately 780 meters elevation. The sanctuary is organized across three ascending courtyards, with each level positioned higher than the one before it.

Construction of Pura Jagatkarta began in 1995 through gotong royong, mutual cooperation of the Nusantara Hindu community, to serve Balinese Hindus living in Greater Jakarta. The site on Mount Salak was chosen because legend holds that Prabu Siliwangi of Pakuan Pajajaran reached moksa there with his soldiers. Before the temple rose, a candi with a black-and-white tiger statue was built as a tribute to Pajajaran, the last Hindu kingdom in Parahyangan.

The name means "the perfect divine nature." Before the main compound, Pura Melanting and Pura Pasar Agung are used to purify offerings brought to Jagatkarta. The site also honors the hyang identified as King Siliwangi of Pakuan Pajajaran, and a black-and-white tiger statue stands as his symbol.

Visitors must park their vehicles in designated areas at the base and then climb steep stairs to reach the temple. Wearing traditional sarongs and sashes is required when entering the sanctuary.

Before the temple was built, a candi with a black-and-white tiger statue was erected on the slope as a tribute to the Pajajaran kingdom; the two colours are linked to Prabu Siliwangi. The temple's full name means "the perfect divine nature".
