Wantilan

The space of a wantilan is usually a simple flat floor, sometimes with a stage on the other end where gamelan or traditional dances can be performed.

Sometimes the floor is designed like a rectangular amphitheater facing a central raised stage; this kind of wantilan is usually used for holding a cockfighting ceremony.

In modern times, a wantilan is used for sport activities, performances, traditional dance classes, or even to hold a seminar or as a dining hall of a restaurant.

In a Balinese templex complex, the wantilan is normally placed in the jaba (outermost) part of the temple compound, close to the candi bentar gateway.

A wantilan in Pura Taman Ayun temple complex still holds a cockfighting ceremony during a certain purification ritual.
