Pura Kehen, Hindu temple in Bangli, Indonesia.

The temple complex includes three sanctuaries built on a hillside, featuring stone carvings, statues depicting Ramayana characters, and multiple ceremonial areas.

Built in the 13th century, Pura Kehen functioned as the main temple of the Bangli Kingdom and appears in copper inscriptions from the 9th century.

The temple holds ceremonies during major Balinese feasts like Pagerwesi, which occurs twice yearly to honor Hyang Widhi and other Hindu deities.

Located two kilometers north of Bangli town center, Pura Kehen charges an entrance fee of 50,000 IDR and requires visitors to wear traditional sarongs.

The outer sanctum contains a 400-year-old banyan tree, while some temple walls feature embedded porcelain plates from the Dutch colonial period.
