Temples in Buleleng, North Bali
The coatal roads leading both east and west of Buleleng, North Bali lead past dramatic ocean scenes and a number of interesting temples. The road west, which leads to the low key, relaxed tourist resort of Lovina, passes the temples of Pulaki and Dalem Melanting. The road east passes the elaborately carved Pura Beji at Sangsit and Pura Maduwe Karang at Kubutambahan, with its famous flower-wheeled bicycle relief.
Pulaki Temple
Located about 50 kolometers east of Singaraja, Pulaki is quite surprisingly the centre's Bali's grape growing region, which produces table grapes, raisins and even wine. The village has an attractive temple. Set between lush jungle and the towering cliff's of Bali's northeastern coast. Pulaki is occupied by a large troop of monkeys, which apreciate free food and whatever belongings they can pilfer from unsuspecting tourist.
Beji Temple
A temple in which we found collorfully carvings. The shrine is a temple in north Bali that differing from those of the south. Every crevice of the temple in north bali is gaily earned in curves flames and spirals, cascading a light ebullience everywhere. A fine example of this northern style is seen at Pura Beji (Beji Temple) in the village of Sangsit, the district of Sawan, Singaraja. Pura Beji is a subak temple dedicated to Dewi Sri, Goddess of Agriculture. Naga snake form the balustrade of splendid gateway. Rows of stone towers set a maze of pink sandstone. The courtyard is sapcious and decorated only by a few frangipani trees.
Maduwe Karang Temple
It is a well known Temple area in Bali. Maduwe Karang has been visited by tourist since before second world war. It is divided into three courtyards, or levels. Jaba Pura, the outer court is approached by two steps, which are adorned with a series of thirty-four statues, representing the various characters from the Ramayana epic, The midle court, Jaba Tengah and Jeroan, or interior court are further on. The interior courtyard is considered the most sacred place and situated here is statue of Kumbkarna being overwhelmed by a troop of monkey soldiers led by Sugriwa.
Dalem Temple of Jagaraga
A unique temple of the dead whose humor is western inspired themes such as dogfights, beer parties, and armed robberies may attract many tourist. Like any Pura Dalem Temple (the temple of the dead) in Bali, the Pura Dalem of Jagaraga is located in the vacantly of a cemetery. Everything about this temple is quiet and withdrawn. Stone carvings of demonic faces, peer out from the walls onto the empty courtyard. The most frightening statue being the statue of Batari Durga (the goddes of the dead). Yet to enliven these are some portrayals of the dirtiest, harvest and magical guardians and visitors of this temple will be amused at the humorous relief's of western western inspired themes such as automobile breakdowns, dogfights, beer parties, and armed robberies. These are only example of the playful secular found only in the Pura Dalem of Jagaraga situated in the village of Jagaraga, 11 km to the east of Singaraja.
