The deity that is supposed to reside at the temple is said to specifically bless non irrigated agriculture land that grows produce such as nuts and coconuts and maize. The temple is worth visiting for a few specific highlights. In the outer courtyard check out the 34 sculptures of various characters from the Ramayana. In the innermost courtyard you will find a statue of Kumbhakarna battling a troop of monkeys. But perhaps the most intriguing image on the temple walls is a relief that shows a man riding a bicycle with the lotus flower for a back wheel. It’s thought to represent the Dutch W.O.J. Nieuwenkamp, who brought the first cycle to Bali. Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Bali itinerary 4 days.
