Gaduh Temple Blahbatuh Gianyar Bali
Located in the village Blahbatuh about 10 kilometers west of the city of Gianyar, is the southernmost temple of ancient antiquity Pejeng Kingdom. Currently, the exterior of the temple is still very much needed facelift and interior will remain the same. Pura Gaduh was actually destroyed by an earthquake in 1917 and was rebuilt and repaired.
The interior of the church is structured like all Balinese Pura than a little fanciful sculptures that can be seen on the main staircase inside Candi Bentar.
Notable Antiquity of Pura is a massive stone head of Kebo Iwo-portrait. Comes of 14 C, however it is strangely distant from the Hindu / Javanese icons structured in this period. Kebo Iwo served as minister last Balinese king Bedulu, who was a despot by nature and a boar’s head. During the invasion in 1343 AD Majapahit king Bedulu kingdom was defeated Gadjah Mada.
