Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang, Temple complex on Mount Lempuyang, Karangasem, Indonesia.

The temple complex includes seven distinct sanctuaries spread across Mount Lempuyang, featuring white split gates and traditional architectural elements at different elevations.

The temple's establishment predates many Balinese Hindu temples, with inscriptions from 1072 Caka recording the instruction to build a sanctuary on Mount Lempuyang.

The temple structure reflects Balinese cosmology with three sections representing Brahma at the base, Vishnu in the middle, and Shiva at the summit.

Visitors need to climb numerous steps to reach each temple level, with Pura Penataran Agung being the first accessible sanctuary at 600 meters elevation.

The temple holds status as one of the nine directional temples of Bali, specifically guarding the eastern direction under the deity Iswara.
