[1] In Bali, Hindu temples are known as "pura", being designed as open-air places of worship in walled compounds.

[2][3] A typical temple is laid out according to ancient Lontar texts with three courtyards separated by low walls pierced by ornate gateways.

The middle courtyard is a transition zone between the human and divine sections; here offerings are prepared and temple paraphernalia are stored.

Its existence is quite unique and interesting considering its location in close proximity to the sites of worship belonging to Hindus.

It faces south and is located outside the main area of the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple complex.
