Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal

The temple contains stone carvings depicting Hindu deities and traditional Balinese architectural elements with multiple tiers of ascending roofs adorned with decorative elements.

Built around 1350 during the Pejeng Dynasty, Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal stands as one of three temples within the Sacred Monkey Forest complex.

Local Balinese Hindus gather at this temple to worship Shiva, participate in death-related ceremonies, and perform traditional religious practices throughout the year.

Visitors must wear traditional sarongs and sashes, available for rent at the entrance, and can access the temple from 9:00 to 17:00 through Monkey Forest.

The temple grounds serve as territory for a resident group of crab-eating macaques, which freely roam among the religious structures and interact with visitors.
