Pura Meduwe Karang, Agricultural temple in Kubutambahan, Indonesia

The temple complex includes three distinct courtyards connected by stone gateways and decorated with intricate sculptures along its perimeter walls.

Built in 1890 by settlers from the extinct village of Bulian, this temple stands as one of the nine principal state temples of Bali.

The temple entrance features 34 stone statues depicting characters from the Ramayana epic, with Kumbakarna as the central figure.

The temple requires visitors to wear traditional sarongs, which are available for rent at the entrance, and accepts donations for maintenance.

A wall relief depicts Dutch artist Nieuwenkamp riding his bicycle during his 1904 Bali exploration, marking an early encounter between local and European cultures.
