  One of the many temples in Ubud...
by Arfah
 
 

Majority of people here are Balinese Hindu's. You can find many temples here as well as shrines at shops and houses. Temples are known as pura in the Balinese language.

According to them, Balinese villages have three major temples. Pura Puseh (temples of origin) usually located towards the upstream of villages dedicated to remembering the founder of the village, Pura Desa (village temples) located in the middle of a village where the community meet to pray and the third is Pura Dalem (temples of the dead) located downstream of villages and this is where the graveyards are.

It's a nice experience seeing temples with unique and remarkable architecture. I think they have rules over women having menses not allowed to enter the temples...so it's best to check first before entering.
