It was built in te seventies to be the “territorial temple” of Denpasar, a monument of modern Balinese Hinduism, open to all.

The Taman Budaya or Arts Center, to the east of the city, is a sprawling complex devoted to the preservation of Balinese culture, although its architecture takes a turn to the gigantic. It hosts the gigantic Ksirarnawa amphitheater and a museum with an important collection of paintings and sculptures from the period of the Balinese renewal. There is nothing on contemporary art, though.
