Pura Pulaki, Hindu temple in Singaraja, Indonesia

The temple stands against rocky outcrops in northern Bali, featuring traditional Balinese architectural elements with intricate stone carvings and ceremonial structures divided into three sanctums.

Built in 1489 by Hindu priest Dang Hyang Nirartha from the Majapahit kingdom, the temple area contains archaeological evidence of prehistoric human settlements through stone tools discovered in 1987.

As a sea temple within the Pesanakan group, Pura Pulaki honors maritime deities and forms part of a protective chain of religious structures encircling Bali.

Located 53 kilometers west of Singaraja along the Singaraja-Gilimanuk highway, the temple requires visitors to wear traditional sarongs and follow specific rules regarding sacred areas.

Local monkeys inhabit the temple grounds, connecting to a legend where these animals guided Dang Hyang Nirartha to the temple's construction site.
