Pura Agung Jagatnata, Denpasar City

Pura Agung Jagatnata, located in Denpasar City, was established in 1968. Recognized as a public temple, its official inauguration took place during a minor pamlaspas ceremony on Purnama Jyestha, May 13, 1968. The temple's primary structure is a padmasana, or temple throne, which stands at an impressive 15 meters tall and faces west. This is notably the tallest and largest padmasana found within Denpasar City.

This hallowed sanctuary, constructed from white coral stone, showcases detailed carvings on its tower section. These carvings depict the face and hands of Bhoma, a figure known as the son of the earth in Hindu mythology. Pura Agung Jagatnata, being a public temple, serves as a spiritual magnet, regularly attracting Hindu devotees from various parts of Denpasar City and its neighboring regions. It witnesses a significant influx of devotees, especially on Purnama (full moon) and Tilem (new moon) days. In addition, the temple serves as a recurring host for a literary discussion event called "Purnama Badrawada", further adding to its cultural significance.
